Good morning everyone! Bright and lovely morning, I hope everyone is looking forward to the week ahead, which starts in January and ends in February!
Every year I say the same thing...January, I hardly knew you and now you're leaving!
Mrslwsn - remember it all depends on the individual applicants' backgrounds and history. Someone who has lived in one town all their life, worked at one job and never traveled is a lot easier to verify than someone who has lived several places, including long-term (more than 6 months) residence in other countries. That is one reason why those whose spouses have previously lived in Canada can sometimes take so long, RCMP checks can take a while, sometimes as much as 4-6 months. Other circumstances that can lengthen processing include step-children being sponsored (and how cooperative the other parent is), failed refugee claims, and police checks from other countries. It all comes back to the applicants and their backgrounds. That is why it is good to look more at the overall average processing time than the experience of a few individuals.
Well, KG, you heard the lady, people are waiting on their families! Let's GO! NNNEEEXXXTTTT!!!!
