I THOUGHT SO...
I wish the spreadsheet also indicated if representative was used.
Then we could accurately assess if representative really does speed up process.
Time lines make no sense at all,some applicants documents that are received at later dates start getting processed before ones received earlier.
At the initial stage all applicants are the same, so they should be in the line but they are jumping cue. Why? How?

WELL THIS IS JUST A WILD GUESS:

MAYBE IT DEPENDS ON THE VO. JUST LIKE IN ANY OTHER JOB, IT DEPENDS ON THE PERSON WHO DOES THE WORK. SOME APPLICATIONS MAY BE UNRULY AND TAKE TIME TO PROCESS.

SECONDLY, I AM THINKING THAT THE THING WITH THE REPRESENTATIVES, SINCE THEY'VE HANDLED NUMEROUS CASES LIKE OURS, THEY ALREADY KNOW THE LOOPHOLES AND SHORTCUTS IN THE PROCESS THAT'S WHY IT'S EASIER FOR THEM TO HANDLE SUCH CASES. THEY KNOW WHAT THE EMBASSY WANTS OR ARE LOOKING FOR. LUCKY YOU IF THE REPRESENTATIVE YOU HIRED HAS A CONTACT INSIDE CEM. STILL I GIVE THEM (REPRESENTATIVES) THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.

DON'T FRET. AS LONG AS YOU KNOW THAT YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK, EVERYTHING WILL GO WELL.

i sooo much love cold weather but i guess it would probably take a lot of time before i get use to the coldness of Manitoba. I'm looking forward though ;D
