March 2012 applicants, join here! : )

[cgagnon]

so only ppl who applied in march will be added or othr can as well

Each month has it's own list, there is also different list by VO, The march list is for march applicants, you also have the November 2011 list, and I am on the Outland buffalo spreadsheet. This does not mean you cannot still post in different months. But the lists are like timelines.

Hello all,

So do anybody knows how far did they go with February applicants! just trying to estimate how much time left!!

And what's AOR?? when do we get that!!

Also I have one more question, if somebody's file will be transferred to OPP does that mean that they will transfer it 1st to his VO and then after that being transferred to the OPP or it doesn't work like that!! and it goes straight ahead after the 1st step to the OPP and how long does it take between both if so??

February 3rd is as far as they have gone so far. I cannot really help you concerning the OPP but you ask that question on the spousal sponsorship page it's pinned at the top of in the family sponsorship category...there veterans can help you out!! Hope they will be at mid-february by the end of this week...but this of course is wishful thinking!

When i check the October 2011 applications, only 18% of the applications left without sponsorship approval within 3 months. Others got within Jan 2012.

In the case of Jan 2012 applicants, only 16% of them left without response after 3 moths (by end of April 2012).
Break down, of Jan applications
Approval in Feb & March 42%
Approval in April 42%
Pending 16% (I guess that 16% is contributed mainly by the users who are not updating their status properly to the forum.... )


So we can expect....around 40% of us will get the approval in May and rest in June....

It is hard to logic what is going on however by all standards processing times have increased dramatically. Also, the very inefficient CIC performance from maintaining the site, to agent responses, to .... etc.

My application was rec'd on March 15th. Can anyone guess when I would have my application transferred to VO in Islamabad.

 

[Fencesitter]

My best guess is this:

February applications will be processed in the month of May.

March applications in the month of June.

April applications in the month of July.

So if you submitted yours in the middle of March, you should expect to hear something from CIC-M by the middle of June (maybe earlier depending on the workload or if they shift yours to Ottawa for processing).

Then once you have your sponsorship approved, expect about 2-3 weeks for your file to reach the VO. After that, it's really up in the air...if you have a really strong case, could be super fast...but it also depends on how busy your VO is...

Just be patient...it will all work itself out in due time...

I'm hoping they'll go a little faster haha. Mine was submitted early March (They Rec'd March 8th) So we'll see! I'm annoyed at how long it's taking but *deep breaths* I'm good.

How's your recovery going?

Slow, another thing I'm annoyed about haha. But I'm walking a little, only 50% of my weight on my foot. My dogs don't like the fact I have to do some standing/walking exercises in front of their bed. Oh well! Right now one is sleeping on the couch and the other on the bed with me. And their daddy(my husband) is asleep still haha.

I was hoping that too however the budget cuts are so extreme..there are no tissue papers...it was reported some of CIC employees are wiping their a?? with application papers...check Jan. thread
