Have you guys looked at the open data site ... Pr apps for Manila was 37,000 in 2010, 19,000 in 2011, 11,000 in 2012. This is for all pr apps. Interesting that the wait times has increased too. (Over the last year)

http://www.data.gc.ca/

I think I searched "permanent resident by mission" ... It was near the top. The figures are pretty interesting.

CEM office is really hardly workin as they can ... ;D ;D if they work faster .. they'll run out of apps and do nothing that would risk them of getting laid off .. hahahah !!! they have to conserve work and make people see they have work to do .. thats why they slow down .. hahhaha !! the less app the longer work they need to do ... work preservation

Well CEM just changed my wife's mailing address in the Philippines. I requested it on May 28th. I am glad they are at least reading the emails before sending back her passports. Hopefully this means I will see some quick action on the account. They are know for doing things in bunches on files. Fingers crossed. My deadline to move my flight is next Tuesday. Worst case is I go for another visit.

Wow this thread has been quiet since Steph's been busy....never had to scroll down so far before to find it
