Totally agreed! This forum has helped me with my sanity at times! (and by that I mean keeping it!)mountain_pirate said:Thanks a lot guys for your best wishes and support. I don't know what I'd have done without this forum and all these supportive folks.
Did you know what was on CIC site? Check this sheetfadil80 said:
Not receiving AOr is 1 of many reasons we started this:dreamcatcher said:hi everyone,
I have a question to ask. Mississauga received our app on Jan 23. On the CIC website it says 75 days (working on applications received on January 18, 2012). Does this mean they have or have not looked at our app yet?, or will they be getting to it very shortly?. Just a bit anxious and confused here on when we should get a response as we have not heard anything at all yet, not even a reference number to check the status online, so my question is should we get an approval letter or something very soon for the first half of this process?, I was hoping after the Easter holidays we should at least hear something....it can be very frustrating not knowing what is going on.
Happy Easter to all by the way!
yeah i noticed that; for me just the first line and the last 3 r completely off....although i think the first they meant 64 but they mistyped (it could happen, human error) and the last 3 they just didn't know and didn't have any new info for an accurate update....but the rest, 2 days difference is really nothing and i remember when i was calculating myself it was actually correct (if u consider or not the start date and the end date u get the same result as themDr Eng X said:

Does anyone have the CIC weekly update of last year? This might help us predict this yearmissmini said:yeah i noticed that; for me just the first line and the last 3 r completely off....although i think the first they meant 64 but they mistyped (it could happen, human error) and the last 3 they just didn't know and didn't have any new info for an accurate update....but the rest, 2 days difference is really nothing and i remember when i was calculating myself it was actually correct (if u consider or not the start date and the end date u get the same result as them
hi dreamcatcher! if you take a look at the spread sheet, you will get a better idea of the processing times...at least how long it has been taking this group. some of our people in this group just got approval and they turned their apps in on jan 19. read back a few pages or look at the spreadsheet for a better idea. if you don't want to wait anymore, you can call CIC and see if they give you any info (sometimes they do, sometimes they don't!)dreamcatcher said:hi everyone,

I totally agree with you. I mean, $1040 is a fair bit of money for a visa. I know that it is a resident visa, but I would just like to say that I have lived in several different countries and have had to apply for numerous visas of all sorts, and this is by faaar the most expensive and the most extensive and taking the longest amount of time (by faaar, I reiterate). My husband is a UK/US citizen and in order for us to live as husband and wife in any of the European Union countries (as his UK passport allows us), it literally takes weeks to get my spusal visa, and very little money. It took us 3-4 months just to compile all our documents/info for this Canadian visa! ???dreamcatcher said:Okay, The way I see at it is that CIC should have the courtesy to let applicants know that they have at least received their application and keep them informed along the way because we did pay them all the fees $1040 I think it was, so it should be part of the service don't you all agree?. Some get AOR's and some don't, some receive faster processing times, while others don't, this is just not good enough in my opinion, CIC should be consistent and fair to all applicants, fair enough every applicants case is different, but all I ask for and what we all want is to be kept informed, it can't be that hard can it?, we are all in the same boat here, it's just hard to try to be patient when CIC doesn't inform you, and it makes it hard to plan anything for the future when your not sure what's going on. If they did the right thing by everyone then we would all be a whole lot happier and at ease, less impatient and stressed, plain and simple. Just wish it didn't take soooooo long!!!!!!.
Also, Mississauga Case Processing Centre doesn't have a phone number or email, the only way you can contact them is via Fax or Snail Mail, I guess if they did have a phone and email they would get thousands upon thousands of people from all over the world bombarding them with questions and complaints, so I can understand that. Has anyone tried Faxing them?, would it help?, and what are the chances of them responding back?, just to give me an idea. I know you can call the CIC Call Centre number but I thought I might ask peoples opinions on this first.
Well, that's my thoughts and frustrations so far...... :
Hope everyone gets fast approvals! and enjoy the weekend.
can anyone tell me how to track my application through e-cas as i have got my sponsorship approval letteralf+jlh said:
