Man, there are people who've been waiting longer than you have. Take it easy before your give yourself a hernia. Like most of us on this thread, it's anybody's guess why CIC is processing some applications faster than others. All I can tell you is have some level of patience even as we all know that the process itself could be a nightmare. You're allowed to vent though....if that helps. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;Dbrunoc19 said:
Haha thanks man. I actually don't really check the online status. The last time i checked my cic was one month ago, and that why i got so shocked since nothing has ever changed lol. I actually asked my mom to check the mail box every week, and i kinda just don't care about this whole application thing any more. I almost feel like getting Canadian citizenship has not really any impact in my life at all because i mean we still have to live here as a PR.IllaBee said:
