Many congrats Barsindoo and thanks for keeping us updated. What is your local Canadain visa office? If US, are you thinking of applying for the State police clearances or would you wait for instructions? Seems like the requirement for state PCCs have become a "maybe" now and the CIC website says if required the visa office may ask for it. This confuses me, why create the extra layer of delay and what basis will they use to demand for it?
Sinha, you should definitely be getting something today. Do let us know and all the best.
Prospective, I think you should be getting something by this week too.
Nz2ca, you and I are on the same boat in terms of timelines.
ELAR, I think you have a ray of hope from what Barsindoo wrote. Hopefully, they would have yet to open your package and will club all addendums / modifications.
