Still have no replies from CEM. ECAS still shows no meds received. All is incredibly quiet (while people here are getting their visas and DMs). So I checked my GCMS and copy of my application again and found that my wife's NBI has now expired. So that led to a call to the MP's office for a nice half hour rant.
I am thinking "what are the odds I will get an email from CEM requesting an NBI"? That of course would add almost 2 months again to my app after figuring in getting it, submitting it and getting the idiots to acknowledge receiving it (after all, it has bee over 2 months since medical and they have yet to acknowledge THAT). At that point I would be close to or have exceeded 14 months (coming up on 12 now). All for a very simple application with no major problems (that is, the only "problem" is that no one will look at it).
The MP's office is going to contact me next week with the status. In the meantime I am going start compiling a list of addresses to start an email campaign. You know, the usual suspects, Kenney, Harper, maybe a newspaper or two. And there must be an ombudsman that can deal with this (oh, and opposition critics, forgot about them). And I'm re-ordering the GCMS notes to see what is really going on, not the "story" they like to say. It is funny how they say they are working hard on it yet my GCMS notes tell an entirely different story.
She also tried blaming the strike. So I told her about my spreadsheet and said "hey, you want to know how many out of our little group got visas since June 1?" She said she would. So I totalled them up and told her 21 people have received visas. And that is only of those people who provided information. And that isn't even counting DMs, PPRs, etc. So I don't blame the strike for my application. I blame CIC.
I'm really tired of trying to be nice and understanding in all of this. For now on I am going to be a pain in their collective a$$es.
