22-02-2013....FINALLY after almost 1 full year since applying
The delay is probably from the Buffalo office closing and all our applications being sent to pilot offices. They said that 75 employees were going to be affected from the Buffalo office closure, so that just means they have 75 less people to work on our applications. They probably aren't going to update anything until the dust settles from this closure. I was wondering what was going on. Usually there's some news each week about people receiving approvals and whatnot, but it's been radio silent for the most part these last 2 weeks. Who knows what other fun Harper has in store for us taxpayers. I used to be a supporter of the Conservative party, but not anymore. I'm wondering if we're looking at 100+ days until any of us hear anything. When I applied in March, the wait time was 55 days.

No, but that's where majority of us were going. But now they need to figure out where we're all going and how to decide. Sigh.

True but it's not delaying step 1 which is what you're waiting for. Your applications will go to new York city.

True. I keep hearing either Ottawa or NYC. I checked off Detroit on my list because that's the closest place we can get to. We live near Ottawa but further from NYC than Detroit driving wise. Sigh. I wish that article was a little more detailed about what was going to happen to people who are applying etc. And it says about electronically applying? What? I had no idea.
