its our 1st child.Hi, I am really sorry to hear what is going on with your application. I know how scary it is! I agree with what most people said....like for my application, first I called and there was no record, then a few days later, there was a partial record, then the third time they said to call back in 1-3 months but we called back 5 days later and they said that we had been approved and the later went in the mail two days earlier. SO personally, I would keep calling for about a week and then see what you need to do at that point.ocanadaguy said:
take a look at our spreadsheet. it is taking longer than it says on the website. My application was received on January 5th and just got approval last week. you can call CIC if you want to try to get more information.kham6490 said:
ocanadaguy i'm really sorry but dob't believe everything one agent tells u; apparently this long waiting it's new to them too and they r as overwhelmed as we r...if u do send again it needs to b as complete as the first one cuz they will look at it's the only application sent but i suggest that u don't; focus now to make them find the initial applicationocanadaguy said:
try to get ur MP involved - i know one case she sent the application in July last year, the application was misplaced, after calls and calls and getting the MP involved they found it and they had the sponsor approval in November!!!!!!!! her name is I.N., she is still around and if she reands this she can confirm; the point is that the application was finally found, i don't think they loose anything, just misplace; also there's an email where u can write, but i don't have it around, maybe others do, or i'll try to find it....good luck!!! don't despair, once u finish this she will get the passport like Gemini's husband did

Please reply my email whoever knows well.
that's a call center agent who said that....and i'm sure another one would tell him to stay put, wait and not send anything....and the officers would think in another way too :Dr Eng X said:
by the time the 2nd application arrives the 1st one will probably b in the process (2nd stage)...also he would have to modify the forms saying he already sent a sponsorship application, writing letter to explain, send proofs that the first application was sent, get new valid police certificate, etc, etc....best call now is the MP!!!
OMG Gemini that's greeeeeeeeat congraaaaats...when do u plan to move back? (i think u still feel u r in a dream right)Gemini1 said:
