The new model doesn't seem to be working.....We're already 4 months through the year, and with the amount of people still stuck at "Received" since the beginning of the year, it only means that they're adding to the backlog. All that and we still haven't started talking about the storm of applications that will shock the CIC when we hit June/July (that's if it hasn't already started).

So far, that infographic represents false advertising.

Finally Toronto applications are moving I think...my husband's application changed to 'In process' after 2 months.

My spouse's account changed to "in process" as of April 28: 56 days since AOR.

Do you get email or mail for test date?

She received a letter in the mail. She wasn't expecting a reply this quick and now has 1.5 weeks to prepare for the test

Today marks the 60th day of waiting for my status to change to "In Process"

I'm speechless and lost for words...

We (from Toronto) got AOR on March 7th and we are also waiting ... and waiting ... and waiting.

Phoned CIC and found out that my file is still in Sydney ! But the surprising part was that CIC had my 3 years old address on file from my PR file, regardless of the fact that i provided them my current address in my application. Even after having 'Application Received' status when i find out that my old address is on file that tells me that not body has even entered the information of mine in system i.e. my file hasn't been reviewed even once.

How did you get CIC to tell you where your file is? I have been trying to get them to tell me more but they wont even LOOK at my file. They just keep saying its too soon

These CIC call centre agents are available in all flavours, some are nice and some are ignorant, though i didn't get any good news but i would say i was lucky to get an agent who got in my file and gave me the information !
