If this is really the case why is it that most late August and early to mid September's applicants are still waiting for MR. Are you suggesting they have similar history or is it a coincidence based on your analogy? The truth is that we can never predict Ottawa, so the best advice is to hang on, wait patiently and hope for the best. We will all reach the same goal, while some will reach theirs faster, others might get there much slower, but we shall all get there. Have fun while waiting the world is not yours.
