Congratulations MysticMidnight , i cant wait to see my DM , good luck for all July applicants...
 
Okay
So I emailed CIC...
it says online that I can also talk to a nearby embassy??
Is that true or will it help?
The mailing address is SOOOOO close to ours it is driving me crazy because I have all my application files copied here and I see the address is correct where we wrote it. Just someone messed up typing it in, but I can't risk not getting mail from them to here!
SO STRESSFUL!
And it says that it will be around 20 days before i get a response from my email... which if we are LUCKY we will already have DM by then, at least by looking at the June applicants and some of you lucky fellows!

From the looks of it you might actually be able to change it using the E-cas.
According to https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/?app=coa
you can use it to change your address if it's being processed in Canada (I remember you're also being processed in Ottawa)
 
I tried that, only it tells you that you can only use a Canadian address.... So since it is our AMERICAN mailing address they messed up i can't change it.
 
Mine took 4 days, could have been less, that's just when I logged in. Everyone is different though
kiwi123 yes ur right but all the 2014 spreadsheat shows that its between 30 to 40 days for the decsion made i hope that,
