It seems like the fee increase has actually improved the speed! My application was returned because I forgot to sign and date at the bottom of the residency calculator sheet.

I sent mine on Jan 2 (Fri) and CIC received it on Monday (Jan 5) and the "incomplete" letter was written on Jan 8. It's been exactly a week since I mailed the application! I'm quite surprised and satisfied :D

Good luck to you all and don't forget to sign and date the documents lol

Hi there, the letter just says I need to date and sign the online residence calculator sheet. And I see the form hasn't been modified or changed, so I guess I'm fine to send it again without filling out another form. Thanks for the link though!

They return mine too for unsigned and undated residency calculator sheet. What date did you put on your residency calculator sheet?

I put today's date. I think it's fine as long as it is not stale dated or your days are short.

On the residency calculator its says to make sure that the date of signature is same to the date off application. Please make sure before resend your application.

Yes yes you are right! I unfortunately used correction tape while correcting the date, so I had to reprint it. Thanks A LOT! You saved my life! It's not stale dated, so yes yes I am almost 100% you are right

Yeah it looks like that CIC is speeding up . My son s application was transferred to the local office after just one day of getting in process . Previously it used to take months.

I sent back my RQ response about 2 years ago. CIC hasn't even opened my response. 2+ years to open a letter? Not seeing any speed here. :eek:

Have you send in an ATIP request on your file? 2 years is a long wait. I would suggest you ask for information on your file to see what's the hold up is.
