i always remember respecting the mailman,,,, when a check was due it was always him that delivered it to my father and did we eat good that nite

LOL. The good old days when we used to deliver good news. Now its bills and junk mail and welfare cheques.

welfare checks,,, i bet those kids respect u

I work in the North End of Winnipeg which is the poor part of town so 50% of the people I deliver to are on social assistance. They know exactly what cheque comes out which part of the month and will get in their car or get on their bike and ride around until they find me. Since I only carry the mail for the area that I am in at that moment all the "Ya got my cheque?" question were getting on my nerves. So I told them all if they keep coming around and bugging me I'll tear their cheque up on the street. It took about 2 months to get them trained but they all stay home now and wait.

Yeah my Grandpa was a post master of a small island town. He was responsible for giving a certain population their monthly cheques. "Whatever she says, don't give my wife the cheque.." they would say. If I see some of those old geezers on the street they will still remember him and be grateful for that.

Its the same population here. There was one guy that complained one day that he only gets one cheque a month. I told him I know how he can get one every 2 weeks. His eyes lit up "How!!". I said "Get a job."

2nd email to manila may 22 Another month has passed and still we have no information on our application, only an email stating from you that you will keep us posted. Countless numbers of applications are being processed that are only 4 and 5 months in your possesion, our application is at 14 months catching up to the standard processing time once again, the standard processing time continues to get longer and longer. You have had my wifes passport in your possesion for over 1 year making it impossible for her to travel. We have put in an application for the GCMS notes on this file. Once again i ask for information on our file, if we are not satisfied our next recourse is to have a lawyer take over our case.

1st email april 15 Request: I would like to know the status of our application. Its been over 7 weeks since we sent you the reply to your questions. The application has been in Manila over 13 months. The PPR has been 13 months and you have held my wife's passport for over 11 months. We have checked e-cas for 13 months and it has never changed from "application received". In our case now it is evident in 2 cases your office has been waiting for many months for docs without you making a second request. It is my understanding with the BRING FORWARD DATES our application should have been looked at again. Her medical has expired. It appears that newer applicants on the forum whose meds are expiring are being rushed through now while our application seems to lay dormant somewhere. Could you please advise us on the situation. Thank you in advance
