they are suppose to send one out with a "do not disturb date" but it is very inconsistent and only a few have ever gotten them............ :(

Well that's a slap in the face! I would assume if they didn't have your file, they would say something like we have no record of you.. I still think even if they don't actually answer your question, e-mailing it always good once in a while. It makes someone actually look at the file.

I don't think so mc1234.....I believe it is deemed that they do have the file because CIC said they sent it to them. You would think in this day and age of technology and simple one line email....we have your file....do not call or communicate with us until such and such a date as passed.....grrr....I am over being sad and moving on to angry.....LOL.....too much emotion for a Monday :-[

:( Are you still worried they dont have it? Maybe wait a few more weeks and order the caips(spelling?) notes for your file. Is that a possibility?

The thing is.. they don't tell you that CIC tracks it, and we can't track it, so you sit there and worry that they don't have it. They probably do track it, and make sure it is received. CIC in Canada should be able to tell you that the package was at least received, but I don't think they do? Has anyone ever tried to ask the call centre to confirm the app was transferred??

But you can't know they havent't received it for 10 months?? BS!! Anyway, I'm sure they have yours, don't worry! Like you said, you don't really have anything else to go by to know when to expect it.
