I am waiting for almost 3/5 months, local visa office said my letter issued and send 3/5 months ago, it is almost expire, i have just 2-3 weeks left, my letter is lost...
I am so angry and i do not know what to do....
Got my assessment after 58 days from the day they received my application, though I saw someone from this forum who took him 71 days before hearing from the CIO. If you know the day they received your application in NS, start counting....
Nowadays due to the a big loads of applications the replies have received after bit later. In my case I have received within 32 days in the 4th of July.
it is new idea,
for new applicant i sugest you if you have relative in canada ask them and use their address for your mailing address.
might be less dealy and perotect applicatant for lossing any letter from immigration offices and your relative can scan your letter and email it to you.
to anyone who just filed their initial application to CIO...note that they are rejecting the whole application if you accidentally put Sydney Nova Scotia in the VISA OFFICE REQUESTED for the process of your application...(IMM 0008)
my friend just received her rejection letter after 60 days saying that
"You did nto indicate the visa office requested for the process of your application. Please note Sydney CIO is not a valid selection"
I am just blessed that my application proceeded when i submitted it last May though it contains "Sydney Nova Scotia" in the visa office requested tab..
i told my friend to resubmit everything again to CIO and just change that tab to "Manila, Philippines"
