March 2012 applicants, join here! : )

Does anyone know if there is another number I can call? The call centre number doesn't work outside of Canada, and I'm living in Colombia with my wife. I can't find any other phone numbers to try on the CIC website....Thanks!

Just the # listed on their website. I would suggest everyone over 90 days to give them a call since the website says 82 days now. If they say call us after 3 weeks, you can tell them that people in mid-march have started receiving approvals and see how they respond to that. But be polite! you don't want to piss them off so close to your potential processing window!

Good luck. I plan to call them if I don't hear anything after 9o days...sitting at 87 right now. If this was not enough, New Dehli Office just increased its processing times from 6 months to 8 months!!! I am so dissapointed. Hopefully, ND is still faster than its posten timelines contrary to CIC Mississauga which is slower than posted! lol

although CIC says 90 days they will tell you when you phone that they are working on applications up to Feb 29th right now and that to call back when your date has passed....the 90 days is an approximation.....if you are lucky you will get a case worker who will try and look you up by name or receipt number but you will get the pat answer....call after your date has passed......

Ya, but 110 days??? that's 28 days MORE than what they show on their website!

I know...I was at 109 days so I totally understand....especially when March was being acknowledged/approved......as soon as they change their date this week you will be able to hopefully get more than the pat answer but I bet you get word this week either an aor or approval......

Here's hoping!

I think the problem is that they have shifted so many files to Ottawa, and a lot stayed with CIC-M that the timeline is off, WAY off.

Congratulations!!! I have updated the spreadsheet!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! ^_^

 

[DLSteam]

I would like to ask: Is this the first e-mail that you received? You don't have received anythings from CIC before ?

Hi there bobokiko,

No they are on Feb/March. We are pretty sure someone in the April thread lied and said they were approved.
