hello im from the philippines. does someone here know how long does cio response after you sent your papers to them? thanks a lot.
When did you send your application? Have you sent it already? For applications after June 26th, they haven't started processing those yet so nobody knows. So currently it's looking at least 60 days. However, July and August tends to be notoriously slow because some CIC staff are on holiday and also they have a lot of student visas to process.
In theory the post-June 26th applications should be coming in at a slower rate since people have a substantial amount of documentation to gather up-front - so they may be able to make fairly fast headway once they start processing the new applications.
Will just have to see, I think CIC will say on their website once they make a start on the new applications.
Our application arrived at CIC on 30 August, so we're looking probably 2 months for them to get round to processing it, then send to London and probaby another 2 months until London process it.
If we're lucky we'll get "In processing" status by Christmas!
