LOL. I guess the difference between us is I like to understand what is actually happening and be treated as fairly as the next person. Though I'm at 97 days without so much of a peep from CIC. Others on this thread have already been approved. I'm happy for them but that doesn't change how unfair things are for those like me who have also done their due diligence and are left with the impression that their application has been used to replace the broken leg on the photocopier in the CIC mailroom. As the saying goes..."evil prevails when good men do nothing". If you are satisfied with the level of service you are getting then thats great. I am not.

Now this post has to be worth a -4 at least.
we all understand your madness, but there are thousands of different reasons for delay. might be your incompleted applications, might be cic spilled coffee on your file, might be the mailman misplaced yours, might be your processor is on summer vacation...who knows what...your complaints do not help the process...call them..again and again and again...Friday is the best and easiest day to call in.. good luck!

Thanks, bagelbagel! I've got my fingers crossed that we all hear something sooner rather than later. (Hopefully in September!) :)

Looking on how the May and June applicants go, it seems like CIC is working on both months at the same time. Some people got news from CIC this finishing week, and the people were both from June and May. I really hope September will be our month of joy!!!

Hey I know it's still a little bit early to be anticipating AORs (looking at June's progress) but just a quick question, does anyone know is the AOR email sent to the sponsor or the applicant?

Thanks

From associating with this forum, the majority of them apparently go out by email and to the "sponsor". However, I did notice one poor forumer here that finally received his 'sponsorship approval' via snail mail after waiting 150 days. I received mine via email.

Sponsorship AOR's are received via email if you get one.....and approvals are sometimes emailed and sometimes mailed........for stage 2 an aor is usually received by the applicant either email or snail mail if the VO sends one.....many don't

Hiya all

I can't believe its been 42 days already (for me that is)!! Where has the time gone? I'm glad the Olympics was on and that kept my mind off of the day by day grind of waiting.
I hope you're all coping well.
Cheers

You and me both! I still feel like it's only been a week or two... time flies when you are having fun (and keeping busy!)

I have a Client ID number from my previous working holiday visas and visitor extensions, will this likely be the client ID they will use or will my boyfriend (my sponsor) get a new client ID? Thinking about it, do Canadians even get client IDs?

From what I have been told, yes you can use that. Your partner (the sponsor) also gets a Unique Identification Code, after receiving an AOR/sponsorship approval that you can use too. Considering you already have your Client Idetification Number, it may be best to use that before any initial contact.

Oh, I'm not about to bug them or anything (app was only signed for four weeks ago) but I might start just randomly checking with my client ID in a few weeks to see if there's anything there (a complete long shot I know but what the heck :) )

There's no harm in doing that! In terms of bugging them- I am sure there are enough people ringing them asking about their application to take care of that! ;) I meant that until you hear from them you wont have the Unique Client ID (UCI) so you may as well use your client number. Wish I had one to use - but I can honestly see myself sitting there about 50 times a day trying to log on to check the status - so probably a good thing I don't, for my own health!
