Question: when CIC-M sends the application to the VO for processing, does it go via diplomatic courier?

Thanks,

FS

This is what OCanadiana told me: "they send the original docs by diplomatic pouch via Foreign Affairs so it's not immediate. The good news would be that they are less likely to get lost!"

It seems to have gone a bit quiet this week, has anyone else had approval?

well Wednesday activity would be wonderful...... but yes just like the updates on the website...they can be anywhere from 7 days to 17 days........no rhyme or reason......just hoping they can put 2 good weeks together in a row and at least complete all of February!!!!!

I finally got the approval letter. It came to my old address and luckily the new tenant had kept that for some time.

Well I can't help with the Skype conversations as I dont use it but as for the pictures I did mine in a time basis starting from when we met and on the back I wrote the date and names of people in the pics. I put them in a bag with the name of the form that said we had to put proof of our relationship on the outside of the bag. Then our wedding pics I did the same and attached that bag to the form that said we had to prove our wedding and reception and put the name of that form on the outside of the bag also hope that helps you

Although this a painful process, one option is to take a screenshot of skype IM conversations

Day 104 here...you'd think that CIC would at least make their website reflect how long they're taking...still sitting at 90 days...its like they don't want to admit they're getting slower

yes it is a 2 week difference which is a long time......but I guess with a lot of March getting down they decided to average it out in their favour

really hope those of us over the 90 days hear something this week I truly am starting to get down in the dumps...

Well lets just hope that our respective Visa Offices step up to the plate once we get finished with Stage 1! Not much we can do to change the speed of government bureaucracy :!
