Here is my timeline:
Applied online: April 13, 2014
Biometric request: April 14, 2014
Sent email to enquire about biometric: April 14, 2014
Reply from CPC-Ottawa: April 15, 2014 (ignore the biometric, it is sent mistakenly)
Ever since, regularly receiving emails that there is an update on myCIC account but there is no update. I have my flight on May 20, 2014. I don't understand what should I do. I have sent three emails to expedite my process and the response is similar but also giving me opportunity to submit my passport on Canadian immigration office abroad. Does anyone have experience of this?
