Officially joining the ranks of DM, but no PPR today. I got the DM last night. Really hoping I hear something positive soon. How long do most people wait before calling the CIC and trying to get info about the decision?
We called after 2 days, which felt like 2 months. Led off with the truth, that as of September 1 I would be on implied status, lose OHIP, etc. I got a somewhat helpful guy right on the first call, who told me rather equivocally that my application was "on its way to approval" and "just needed to be confirmed." Others have called 5 or 6 times and gotten agents who won't say a thing every time.

i got DM on the same day as you. called a lot of times only one lady is willing to help and said sth pretty much like the agent talked to you.
I'm not feeling good now.......I started my PR application last year at the end of May. Already 15 months in total. Feel like living in hell now. Counting days everyday. and hate my job but i still have to stay here till everything ends!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAlhadka,

Sorry to be a bit off topic - I can see in your signature, that your journey to PR was a bumpy one with a cancellation along the way. Do you mind sharing why was your app cancelled and how did you go about reopening it? My app was cancelled last week "by CIC mistake"...
Thanks!

Sorry you hate your job! I love mine, absolutely will stay at it once I get PR. In fact, it's a big reason I applied for PR at all.

Called CIC a second time just now because I have a doctor's appointment coming up and am concerned about no longer having OHIP and not getting it back in time. This time the guy was much more cooperative, very nice, and told me it's APPROVED! He said I could get the final news "two minutes from now, two days, or two weeks...." but it did help a lot just to hear it's been approved.

You are on the same schedule as I am, and Yampower is very close, so perhaps we will all get the chance to party together! Meantime, try calling again now that it's been a few days! Good luck!

Do you remember his/her name? I talked to Ben once, he was very helpful (but unfortunately I lost connection in the middle of the conversation).

I'm sorry, I don't. They give such a long introduction, and in two languages! But he was French, but not the same French guy I talked to last week.

You know what, I am sorry. I should have first congratulated you. I am a selfish bastard ;)
Congrats on the "verbal approval" :D

Dobes you either have really good communication skills or I just suck at it. I tried a few more times today (3 times), and had no luck in getting an agent to check it.

Be patient and I don't know if that would help you or not, but I got my ITA on 27th of Feb not March.. I submitted the application on the 27th of March - so a whole month ahead of you :p but I agree, even with the pumps I've on my road, got it last week. From experience, no news are always good news... Trust me, yours is coming on the way!

Sorry to hear about your cancellation - not sure what the CIC mistake is and whether you can reopen yours, but if you want to hear all my story, I've initiated a whole thread for cancellation - and indeed my journey wasn't easy at all, but thanks God it is almost over now... Here is the link to the other thread, check it out as you might find it beneficial
