Today sure sucks for any sort of info... I am just happy that I had the day off of work and was able to skype with my wife for over 5 hours today :) plus typing chat... If i would have sent ALL of my skype proof over the past (almost 3 years).. cic would be saying January 3rd next week too :p If my visa office wonders about how legit this marriage is, I'll be flying over with a 23 kg suitcase of proof to show them :) I'll print every shred of communication out! hehe

LOL my husband and I live together but still email, phone and text when he's at work. We DID print out (just the headers from our email inboxes, phone records and such, thumbnails of about a tenth of our photos together. Our application was nearly 2 inches thick. But after 5 declines for insufficient supporting documents over the past 3+ years, we decided we couldn't be too careful.

Do you mean to say that you were refused 5 times for a Canadian PR visa in the past?!

CIC website have updated their processing time.

I guess most of the CIC officers went on Vacation for March break.

Looks like they have not processed after Jan 3, 2012.

4 work permits and one PNP PR. Each time one small piece of info was missing and rather than requesting it they just declined it. This has been a very very long and expensive road indeed.

I agree with you missmini. i think its still the 55days period as my husband got a notification from CIC on 5th of march. said that our application was received 11th of january.

hi mimawski that's very good news thanks for sharing :D congrats on the AOR!!! i don't see u on the spreadsheet, Amanda will add u if u want

by the way everyone, me too now when i refreshed the processing times it's back to Feb 29th the last update....i suppose they kept the March 7th update for maybe 1h until they noticed it's wrong ;) so for the ones who never saw the March 7th update it's nothing wrong with ur computer or browser and no, noone is crazy (YET :p)...so yeah let's hope they finished working on Jan 3rd applications LOL

Thanks missmini, you are too sweet. I don't know why people claim it doesn't say March 7 on the page though- it's both in bold before the numbers and at the very bottom of the page. I've never seen the Francophone version of the page.

me too i don't look at the French version but i'm many hours ahead of Ontario time so when it was morning here it was again Feb 29th update; whoever in Ca was checking last night never saw March 7th; now it's back to March 7th but with the same mistake ::)

We claim it because our browsers don't say April 7. Just because you see it doesn't mean we see it. It's a glitch.
