Although on the CIC website they are saying that they are processing Dec applications, I can see that people whose applications reached in early Jan are getting their approvals. That makes me feel sooo much better. :)

Check out the spreadsheet and if u want to give any other info that would be great.

After 10 posts you will be able to update your timeline under your name!

Hi. Yes, I would like to be added.

My husband mailed the application on the 15th of Feb. It was received by Mississauga on the 18th. My visa office is New Delhi.

How do I view the spreadsheet?

Thank you for all your help.

EDIT: Oh okay! The spreadsheet link is in your signature. Got it!

Well the CIC has updated their site to say they are working on applications rec'd Jan 3, 2012 - with a 48 day processing time. Now I am really getting worried :( that I haven't heard anything since mine was rec'd Jan 6. How long should I wait before pestering them? lol

Maybe someone forgot ours under their cup of coffee ;) I worry since my medicals went so much earlier than my application that they lost something. Paranoia is definitely setting in for me too. Plus from reading the forums, we have several of the 'red flags' to our case - I am 10 years older than him and was previously married. He wasn't previously married but does have children etc. But surely..still they could send me an AOR! ;D

Oh, sorry I didn't realize you were a feb applicant...this is a jan thread.

I'm pretty sure there is a feb group, or at least one specific for your vo.

You are more thaN welcome to stick around, but we will be much ahead as far as processing goes

If they are working on jan 3 then you should be hearing from them soon!

If by the next update you dont hear anything then I would email!

Sadly there are still people in the dec thread that haven't heard anything yet


Keep checking your email and mailbox outside...I bet you will hear something really soon :D
