Hey guys!
Okay..firstly let me put a few things into perspective.
I know that its super frustrating for August applicants to be told..wait until the END of may, or first week of June since the wait time is offically listed at 9 months.
BUT .... we've all waited SO LONG..what's another 2-3 weeks????
AT LEAST they have said to more than one person that they will start processing files this month!!! thats great news!!!
You know what could have happened?? I"ll tell you... the CIC rep would say nothing of importance and just say "please wait" then when you check the processing times ...instead of 9 months, it says 11 months... that would be an absolute nightmare... BUT..thats not the case. They have said that they were catching up and people will start hearing back soon so i'm quite happy with that.
"they will start processing files next week" - this is music to my ears. I'm a Sept/Oct applicant so hopefully i they can review mine in July/Aug.
try to stay positive people... progress is being made.
