What is Ottawa Pilot? I heard someone saying that Stage 2 will also be processed in Ottawa.. however I got sponsorship approval email from them saying my file has been sent to Islamabad. Is it true that "internally" they are processing these cases in Ottawa instead of Islamabad to reduce Islamabad's workload?

Ottawa helps Mississauga with approvals. Only buffalo applications will be processed in Ottawa before being finalized in Los Angeles. Your step 2 will process in Islamabad.

Hi there,

I sent my application to sponsor my wife on March 7th to the Mississauga location. I haven't got any acknowledgement, nor does the "Client Application Status" page show that they have received anything.

I am quite concerned now, considering that a few of the late Marchers seem to have got their approvals! Any thoughts?

Many thanks!!!!
Hi there, don't worry!! I sent my application on the 27th of Feb and the didn't acknowledge of receiving it until the 19th of March. Your's should be coming through very shortly!! Good luck with everything!

Forget about fingers...I'm crossing my eyes, ears, nose, lips, teeth?, arms, legs, toes, my dog's tail, the street (without looking), etc...etc...(the etc's are crossed, too!).

Has there ever been a case where the sponsor or applicant went around the bend due to this process? Headline: man plummets to his death from second story balcony...the note left in his pocket just said "CIC...why????"...

Or a gun and go postal inside CIC-M...if only that hitler joke on youtube could somehow be changed to the mail room...after hours...with hitler looking to put his application on the top of the stack...that would be priceless...
