Thanks to all those who posted details of their calls to CIC. It inspired me to do the same - the agent couldn't find any record of my file but suggested I try again next week. At least I came away with my (sponsor's) ID number - yay for small victories!

our group just keeps growing :) And Congrats Gemini !! My package will be heading over to see yours in Vienna hopefully sometime soon. Seems as if they didn't even open mine yet. The email the person sent should get the ball rolling on mine quickly at least. I am glad this stress is finally over for you... Now comes the other wait.. but at least the first part is over.. and you would not be approved if something was wrong or missing. So best of luck in Vienna :)

Thank you all for your congraturlations and your support! It is a big relief to hear of approval! Now I just need it in writing :)
I asked if it had gone to Vienna VO and she said it was "in process" but is usually sent within a few days of approval. Step one done :)
Good luck to those still waiting!
