Greetings to you westpoint, ann_jay626 and molarius,
@ westpoint> thank you for updating my spreadsheet and so with your advise.... i just came from a consultancy firm and i am considering to hire for their expertise. I am on the process "again" of gathering original copies and resend the soonest possible time while 3113 is not yet full regardless of the CIO response to my email.
@ molarius> each day that passes by breaks my sanity level
;D my 4th month waiting falls on the 2nd week of March and the agony is too long. I learned that sometimes the response may it be positive takes for 4 months but my gosh .... WHAT IF ......... NOT? At the back of mind my documents most especially the presentation of my job description, certification of employment is not that overwhelming. I am on a private practice for quite sometime and i relied on my own simplicity.
I am wishing great response for every applicant.

hi Capricorn66,
u know i experienced waiting time of more than 2 years when i applied first time to manitoba under pnp, self application. i thought then that everything is okay and that when i hear from them i will hear good news. it turned out the other way around. it was a crashing experience and it broke my heart...imagine more than 2 years was wasted? only to hear a negative response...but still i clung on to my faith, that it was not yet meant for me, and that He has other plans...then came this new system of 6-12 mos processing times to expedite applications, 2nd time there were still some glitches even if i got an agency, and one thing i realized...even if you have an agency or not it doesn't mean that things will be perfect...
do you know the reason why i added "with agency, y/n" heading? so that those who view us, our table, can have an idea on whether to get one or not. because as u can see those who applied without one were able to somehow go through it successfully, saving money as well in the process; while those who hired one, although there were some who had "little" problems like not being updated by the agency on whether their cc/bd has been encashed etc...
we all know that the agony of waiting for a response to every step we take is a suspense-fully, heart-pounding-ly experience but all these are erased as soon as we hear "what we supposedly want to hear" right? no matter the cost...
cic has been very generous with the information. there are guidelines, steps or procedures to undertake when u are going to apply. links where to download application forms and checklists ul need in completing ur papers for submission.
i am not telling u what to do, whether u should get an agency or not, mine is just a friendly retelling of my experience, although in other threads i had been advised that i could do it on my own (actually i had wanted to do it on my own too, but i listened to my sweetheart who really wanted to get an agency after my initial self application crashed on my head to settle the matter)...
lastly, weigh things mabuti, and get an ielts soonest possible time coz ul need to submit orig of that result to CIO, the others pwed na photocopy lang...and resubmit asap coz we never can tell when 3113 will be filled up...goodluck doc!
