I know.. I just hope they get back to work next week, it's been two weeks since they've stopped processing new AIPs. (There were a couple but not from the main pool of july apps that seem to be with CPC-M now)

I just want them to process the AIP so I can study for my exams without these thoughts and stress :(
 
Well, I think there won't be any news before Monday.

I wish you all a very nice weekend with your BIG LOVE, enjoy the moments together. :-* :-* :-*

C U on Monday for lots of good news from CIC for many of us :D :D :D :) :) :)

You know what I think...I think CIC has been too busy watching the Olympics and that's why the process has been slowed down since it started! :P

For the benefit of those asking if Immigration Officers work on weekends, yes they do or did, in my case. I received both my AIP and OWP on January 19, 2014 at 2:28pm, a Sunday afternoon, in my email box. I have already posted this earlier to let everyone know. I had to re-read the the email several times to make sure it was a new CIC email and not a resend of an older CIC email.

So, anyone could have a pleasant surprise even on a weekend! Keep the faith that it is bound to happen any moment, relax and enjoy the weekend everyone! :)

Thank you. This certainly helped me revive my faith and hope back.

You have wonderful weekend too! :)
 
Ponga, I was trying to find the link for the CIC training documents that you posted a link for a while back, but I'm unable to find them. Would you be able to post the link again if you still have access to it?

Thank you! :)
 
Yay! Congratulations, Mrs_Canuck!!! :D

I am so relieved I received my Alberta health care card last night, and now I'm just waiting for my OWP to arrive. After about two months of wait lol. Turning 24 tomorrow as well, so this weekend should be good! Time to get a move on :)

Yes! Thank you, Ponga. :)

Happy (early) birthday, Line. a! It's soon to be the start of a new life for you and your other half. I can't believe it took that long for them to resend you the OWP when obviously it was lost. Ah well, relax, have a drink or two and enjoy your 24th! :)
 
Our flight is super early in the morning on monday. Yikes!! I will let you guys know how it went with customs when we're back :) I previously hold a study permit and been traveling with my then BF and now husband with no problems. I now hold a PGWP, from a visa exempt country and travelling with my husband so hopefully everything is smooth sailing from here!

I will try to update briefly if i get AIP and if I get wireless in our hotel!! :P:P:P

And lastly I will miss you guys :)

ps Ysland gurl, thank you for the info. I received my AOR on a saturday :)

Always a pleasure! Pls note that Bruneian also received her AOR on a saturday so this should confirm that some Immigration officers ( I will not say all) do work on weekends.

Hi Bruneian, you are welcome! it is nice to know that the Immigration Officers are working double time (even on weekends!) to accelerate the Batch 2013 application process. :)
