They would still post here, but at least CIC wouldn't get emails without any identifying information. Or at least a lot less, because I'm sure even with required fields, they would still get messages sent in earnest, but with weird things inserted instead of the correct information......... hehe.....

Even if they did that, these people would still post here! If they can't find the cic website in the first place, a contact form won't help!

OK guys you're making me laugh way too much today...I haven't had dinner yet!

Haha, sadly enough I think you are right with this one. I just don't get how someone can think a forum is CIC or their visa office? Do they think we're all visa officers conversing freely over the internet about people's applications? I seriously don't get it.

For those that are looking for an amusing distraction, you have to watch this... Hilarious, somewhat informative, and even (seriously!) nominated for a best documentary Oscar! I love that Canada doesn't take itself too seriously 8)

Yup! We're CIC agents just hanging around waiting for the next email inquiry. Instead of Call Centre, we're the Web Room - multiple service offerings!!!

Here's a question that's been floating around all eve.

At what age gap does it become a SERIOUS red flag for CIC?

Inquiring minds want to know.

That's a good question, and I don't really know the answer to it. But I'd venture to guess that it's an age gap that would put one person in the relationship at an age where they could have parented the other spouse.

Fellow waiters (as in those who are waiting for people, not waiting on people), this thread is a neat idea!

I'm about to drop an outrageous amount of money for a flight ticket for a five-day trip. :eek:

I'm going to the UK during Christmas week. My work randomly decided to close on Christmas Eve (we usually stay open). If only they had decided earlier! :mad:
