Hello all.
My husband and I sent our application in and it was received on March 16th. We have heard nothing yet. We am getting very antsy. We have applied from outside Canada (Thailand) where we have been living together for 5 years.
Now, apparently because I don't live in Canada I cannot call the center? (I tried anyway, but it would not allow the call

)
The only other option is to fax them? I don't really have proper access to a fax. Would I need a fax number that could receive faxes as well? Or would they then contact by email?
Geez, Louise. I thought this process would not really be stressful until step 2!! That was dead wrong.
I assume the letter could be in the mail, but the Thai post is often unreliable, and things do take a long time to get here.
Losing my marbles. Too early in the game for that!.
Congratulations to everyone who have been succesful thus far. I hope to join your ranks soon.

Hey V,
the process is really stressful, and this new thing where people from outside of Canada can not call, it doesn't help. I'm not sure if it's feasible for you, but one applicant managed to talk to CIC by having somebody from in Canada calling for them, and then adding the person from outside Canada in a conference call... a bit complicated for sure, and I don't know if it's possible for you, but I thought I could always mention that to you.
Good luck,
Sweden
