Where can I find the right phone number to call or email address to send email?Twelfty12 said:Hopefully within 28 days.
Sometimes longer
After 35 give them a call to check. (Or just get SA really quickly and never worry about it!)
They update this every week.
yeah he better! Lol waiting till Friday to see what happens it day 25March2014apply said:Damn,
just checked it, and you're right
That Bud Jamal dude signed it for my package too!
He better be handling and keeping the packages in the right place this Bud Jamal dude..!
exactly why we are upset ! It should be first come first serve, except in a really complicated case. I can't even tell how things work , looks like they pick randomlyWRXSTI said:it doesn't make sense why other applicants has a speedy process and yet we've submitted the application earlier than them. huhu.. it makes me worry.
Lets hope for the best! Worries doesn't help us accomplish anything.Obronibini said:exactly why we are upset ! It should be first come first serve, except in a really complicated case. I can't even tell how things work , looks like they pick randomly
A few short months for the Sydney office, maybe.. Some visa offices take 1 1/2 years or more.MrJB said:I would bet money that they have a rankings system. Each pack probably gets an initial viewing, which tells them roughly how easy/complex it is, and then it's moved along to the next person.
Ones requiring a second look by a more senior person might take longer, others take less time.
And if one visa officer is off sick one day, maybe his/her queue gets held up a couple of days, while others go through.
They're only human in the end. I wouldn't fret about an extra week here or there. We're mostly talking about a few short months, compared to the entirety of our lives we'll be spending with our loved ones in our adopted country.
Yes, it normally takes about 30 days.Canadianoilers said:I sent mine in the mail March 26th and have not heard back yet. I'm sponsoring my wife I sent the file to Mississauga, then once approved it will goto Bogota. Is it normal I have not heard anything back yet?
thank you!
Yes it is. Your March 14th receive date is probably accurate.WRXSTI said:I used Canada post and sent it to CPC Mississauga P.O. Box 3000, Station A Mississauga, ON L5A 4N6, Just to verify, this is the right address right?
OMG!!! Bud Jamel is the same person who received my application as well. Hopefully he put it to a safe place. I think Bud Jamel is just a receptionist and not a CIC Officer who works on our application.Obronibini said:that's the same guy that recieved ours ! Four days till 28 days !
Your time period is still within the given processing time and hopefully you will hear something from them soon. I will call them on Thursday if I don't hear anything.Twelfty12 said:Yes it is. Your March 14th receive date is probably accurate.
The same person picked up mine too.
Give them a call Thursday if you don't hear anything.
Unfortunately I don't have the phone number myself, but it is kicking around on these threads somewhere.
I'm praying I never need to call them
I didn't either. I'm sure there is not much difference...they should all end up in the same office.March2014apply said:Wait, were we supposed to send it via registered mail? I mean did we require a signature on receipt?
I had a tracking number and knew when it arrived there, but didn't put in a 'signature required on receipt' option.
I was told not to do that.
Now I'm seeing everyone else has. Wondering if I should have done so.
