Hmm, so why do folks post App. Filed dates on the side of their comments (which I can't figure out how to do by the way)?
Is this just to flaunt CIC's incompetence? So the files sit in a pile in the mail room, for more than a month in most cases, and are not marked as received until a file clerk gets around to it? I guess my time may still come soon, if the posted times are to be believed. I am hoping good things for all those who are waiting, esp. the before Aug. 17 folks that have not posted their good news yet. Do you think they have moved beyond Aug 17 since they always post 2 days after the date of the update?
Someday I would like a tour of the whole process, the real tour, where the applications are received, who picks them up, how they are distributed to CIC employees, what their process/checklist is for approval (especially on the more arbitrary or subjective things) and who else has to see the file, who sends the emails, posts the updates, all of it. It would be a harrowing tour, fit for Halloween. Or do we already know the worst of it with lost papers, random approval and processing schedule, AIPs that are made but not told to the applicants, DM's that are MIA...
