Finally I decided to phone. My AOR is july 18th. Anyway they told me there is a delay due the files moving. I said but this was supposed to make it faster? They said "the future applications will be faster" but people currently in process will be delayed due to the move and arranging workloads etc. Lovely. The nice agent did send off a note for an update as there is little (read nothing) done on our file yet. He said it should all start up again within a short period of time( i am thinking a short period of time involves decades).
I wish people here wouldn't post suppositions. Guesses don't help. just my opinion. This was my first phone call to CIC. They told me if I didn't hear something within 10 days to call back if I had time.
