I understand the frustration and the problems this lengthy process have caused to everyone, but I have to say I find a bit surprising some comments on this October post.
I mean, most of August applicants are just now finalizing the process, that makes 20 months. Still some Jul/Aug/Sept applicants are with ongoing process and October applicants are raving about their files not being completed.
We should know by now that each application is different and that there's limited capacity from CIC workers, and that CEC2014 is not the only process going on. I am not trying to justify CIC and their mess, I am just trying to say that we need to calm down and just wait. Time will come for everyone, sooner rather than later.
Calling CIC, asking for notes, swearing, etc doesn't help and just make CIC busier and you're taking precious time out of their hands.
Just saying guys, you're almost there, just be a patience a little longer.
