INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[Blackdisc]

this is starting to get very annoying...

Yep it is. Getting the vibes that CIC don't care. No communication, only questions.

Wow, 3 months for August applicant? Did they say why? And was that just for getting AIP or for full process?

Another cheery conversation with CIC this morning. Just to refresh:
File received by CIC March 6, 2013 (14 months now)
File transferred to Winnipeg Jan 29, 2014

So I called to see if I could hear anything about how our file is doing in the Winnipeg office. I found out that since our address had been changed to Saskatoon they held our file in Winnipeg for almost 3 months and then transferred it to Saskatoon so now we're at the bottom of the pile there and it could take up to 8 months just to get our first step approval. That would make our first step approval a 21 month process. Meanwhile living on one salary for so long is just putting our lives completely on hold and I'm starting to go a little crazy because we never receive any news unless I call and when I call all I get is disappointing news. Happy Monday! lol.

Sounds normal to me.

Considering they've been stuck on July for 3 months now with no progress, you think that's the norm now? 3 months for 1 month worth of progress? I truly hope not. Unless you're trying to be funny.

I agree! that is not normal. Considering the person who implied it to be "normal" for CIC taking months to get through July applications, applied April 1st 2014; I really don't believe they have any idea how frustrating and lengthy this process really is.

With all the anxiety and bad vibes we've been feeling lately due to the lack of progress on AIPs, I thought maybe I'd change things up a little. Here are some things we can do to keep our minds occupied and not worry so much about our immigration process:

1. Take a walk. The weather is getting nicer and taking walks help you to clear your head and make you feel better instead of being stuck inside all day!

2. Rearrange furniture! I did this with a couple of rooms in the house and it makes it feel like a new place! Definitely something you should do if you're like me and because you can't work stay inside all day.

3. If you're a woman like me, you know it's always fun to go window shopping! I find it helps me to get outside and be around others besides my husband. The lack of social life can sometimes bring us down too, especially if your husband or wives family aren't being supportive. Being around others helps to bring my spirits up. Talk to a stranger, smile to the person you pass on the street!

4. Try new recipes! This usually gets me going. Especially now that the weather is warming up and we can get away from the soups. Try a new spin on salad, or a new chicken marinade!

5. I know it's hard, but the biggest thing that has helped me is to stay away from the internet. Wanting to check the website every half hour, or trying to find news on what's going on with immigration, it makes things drag out. Keep your mind occupied elsewhere.

Hope these tips help someone. We can really let this process drive us crazy if we're not careful. We have to keep smiling and keep hopeful and know it will all be over one day!

really don't get it why need to take another 3 months, they got everything from CPC-V,they didn't looking some july applicant file after file transfer ( GCMS show cpc-m not even take a look), we can't sue them coz they are goverment .....oh well...... nothing we can't do ~ kinda hopeless

That's typical. My guess is nobody has even bothered to look at the file yet.

Order your electronic case notes. That should tell you why it was transferred and confirm that the documents were received.

May I ask how to order that?

Our supporting materials are not much (photos, phone call records, etc)

And my wife was pregnant after we submit the application, not sure if this is something they wanna check (to see the baby?)

Personally I do not think supporting materials play a key role in determining whether an interview is needed. In some marriage fraud cases, people do fabricate the materials easily. That is more to do with background checks and the answers to sponsored spouse questionnaire (previous marriage, previous sponsorship, quick marriage after first meeting). The questionnaire is where the red flags are spotted.

By the way, best of luck for the rest part of your journey.

Thanks.
