Good to see Gortandmugs disposition has improved.

I think once we are all done it will be a very quiet forum.

No man. That's the way it was going down last year. Ours was the first application (as I recall) to go In Process before PPR . . . that's why it weirded us out. Then there was another either late Dec or early Jan.

Considering I created and have maintained the sheet for a long time I have more than a passing acquaintance with the data, and PPR happens before and after in process. So if you are looking for someone who is
full of Sh44t
look in a mirror.

Nice to see the movement in some of the apps, but still no change on my end. Guess I'll be keeping this place going...

Ya. This comment bothers me. My complaints about CIC will not finish just because my wife gets her visa. That she would get a visa was never in question for me. The issue is one of fairness. The government closes visa offices abroad and funnels everything through one nearly doubling the processing times for all visas coming through that office. Meanwhile an office like Hong Kong can pump out visas in 4 months. The delays in processing automatically make your medicals expire adding most cost to some for the same service. It should never cost me more than $1050 + the cost of aquiring the original required documents.

So to suggest that some of us are just whining is disrespectful.
