Hi guys,Hi guys, here is my timeline:
AOR: 30 March
Medical Passed: 10 May
Biometrics: 16 May
no update since then
Ordered GCMS 1 July (knew it was too early, just wanted to know the visa office and how things are going)
Got GCMS: 6 August - criminality passed, eligibility and background check not started yet, visa office Ottawa
15 August: noticed that background check changed from "your application is in progress" to "we are processing your bg check", got excited, finally, at least something is happening!
19 August: called CIC, aaaand my excitement was gone. Agent said nothing started. She also mentioned that she only sees the same information as me on my CIC account!?! Arghh, what a waste of time :S
Patience is a virtue, but it's definitely not mine, it never was I try to keep myself busy, focus on my work, family, friends etc., meanwhile, in one dark, teeny corner of my mind I can't stop thinking of the weak points of the application and what could go wrong.
Keep your hopes up guys, may September bring PPR rain for us
got a ghost update Friday morning and the ready for visa mail past midnight, it landed in my spam folder.
According to the GCMS notes my visa office was Ottawa, however the golden mail came from Vienna.
It was another sleepless night, but fortunately this time due to euphoria and excitement.
Keep hanging in there, hopefully everyone will get the good news within a few days!
