Not a peep man. Still "In Process" and staring at intensely for lengthy periods of time does not change it. Anything for you?


I hope us SVO folks are as lucky as those with the NDVO!!!

Hi! I think a December applicant has received DM from LVO recently, and that would make it the most recent one.
You can check out both the February and London spreadsheets in my signature, which will give you a better idea of what to expect.

Same thing man. I swear I check ECAS at least 2-3 times a day lol.

Waiting on second GCMS to see what's up but haven't heard anything since AOR2.

Hope SVO kicks it in high gear soon.

I also haven't heard anything from CPC-Mississauga since AOR2. I am waiting for my notes as well - they will most likely arrive next month.

I have done some checking, and seems like the people who already are in canada (legally) are getting DM's much much faster. I guess it would make sense, since these people already went through some sort of security check before the visa was issued?
That's the only way I can make sense of all these DM's from VO's that show double the processing time as ours

If that's the case, I'm happy to hear that... I'm here on TRV. I arrived in Nov 2015 and applied in Jan 2016... my patience has been running really low this two weeks... argh

I agree. I doubt it has much to do with the PA being in Canada. It could be possible that the NDVO has hired more case processors recently or that CIC case processors in general have been instructed to process cases a little differently. I remember the immigration minister saying something about having learned something from processing so many syrian refugee cases in such a short amount of time and applying it to family class applications, but I haven't seen anything to confirm this has actually happened.

Either way, I'm optimistic that we may be seeing the start of faster processing times.
