Yay! Congrats!

Hi Ann my dear. I hope everything is A1 ok with you

How does time fly really! I remember the time when you were preparing your apps to send them over to CIC and now you are one step before getting your COPR. I am very happy for you Ann.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Chala and how are you my friend. You and Ann here are running shoulder to shoulder on the finish line :)
Hang on there you guys are almost done!

Vienna is still playing the silence game with us. Absolutely no one from our 2013 forum friends who are dealing with this VO has got any news or some signal so far. I have a terrible feeling that this is going to drag for a long time.
We wouldn't mind waiting if we only knew what's going on! We see VO's that were on strike since April and are handing out COPR's by the dozens. Vienna was never on strike and the funny thing is that when I applied in February it's processing times was at 9 months. Without any warning they took it up to 12 months .
Even though there are other VO's with 13 and 14 months they are wrapping up their applicants in no more than 6-7 months max.
Sorry for letting out steam and breaking down the happy mood here but I consider you guys friends and I needed to have an understanding ear!
The Vienna thread has become a place where all of us are trying to mentally support each other and consul each other!

Good luck to you friends!

Tom

How can anyone

How can anyone

Hi Tom, thanks for the "shout out" ;) I truly sympathize with you and all Vienna applicants. Too bad they don't communicate better with all of you about why there has been an increased delay time. Can you send for your progress notes? It might be helpful to at least get an idea of where you are in the process, maybe? Sending you a (((hug))) and the good thing is at least you have your wife and baby together with you...I've been seeing my hubby every other weekend, and hopefully that will be over soon and we will be together all the time too. :)
 
Hi everybody, we got our ppr on Sept 25....then the DM showed up in ECAS a couple weeks later. I know several of March applicants got ppr just before and after us, has anyone received their COPR in mail yet? We r trying to be patient but this process is so anxiety provoking! :)

we heard from CIC. Guess we either forgot to send or they lost...honestly can't remember if we forgot....my wife's passport photos. So we have 2 send in 4 more photos. Rats! Another delay. She is doing them now and going to send them by overnight mail, if possible.

Bummer :( I hope they don't lose anything out of our package

We received PPR Sept 26, but no movement on our ecas. :( tried emailing CEM as well re: if they received the additional documents that they requested (because i had them dropped via dropbox) but no reply from them. :( Its been 2 weeks since i last emailed them. :(
 
We got our PPR last nov. 5! 8)
It also stated that his visa was ready to be issued and was valid till 3/11/2014. 8) ;D :D

Did you email them thru their website? Try emailing them there, i did inquire about ours, got an automated email and got a reply from them 6 hours later.
 
can you send me the link?
I was emailing RE-MANIL.IMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca but still haven't received anything, not even a confirmation.
