jeez louise !!! Thats crazy !! it only took my fiance an hour too when he went in GDL ! Was most of it waiting time ? I would assume the waits are ridiculous now since its the only place besides border states to get them now. Man poor guy, that would make for a miserable day ! Well let me know when you get the price, no rush, let him relax when he gets home !!

It's just my Canadian passive-aggressiveness at work. I guess you can call it my subtle way of telling them "Hurry the hell up and tell me what's next" :p

It seems like no PPR's recently.....still waiting here....About a month ago they requested the original birth certificate, when in the beginning we had to submit a translated one, rrrgghhh very frustrating. It seems that after every request they make, its a two month wait for news. Fingers crossed it is very very soon!!!

Two months sounds about right, but I'm not gonna wait that long. I'm sending them a case-specific enquiry on Monday after 4 weeks of waiting and not knowing what's going on :(

As of last Monday I'm officially in an immigration protest. I've decided not to shave my beard or mustache until I get my PPR. Hurry up CIC, you don't wanna see a short, buff angry Mexican with a killer beard. :mad:

I'm confident as well, but I'm still gonna send them a case-specific enquiry and I'm still growing my beard and mustache :p I've always wanted to walk around in Canada with a full beard in the middle of winter. I'm weird like that.

LOL! Maybe some sense of humor in the case specific enquiry will motivate them to respond!

On another note - we went to Viva Burritos today and I was expecting something like Chipotle but it was very different but also TASTY! And a way better value than a gross 7 layer burrito which I cannot even believe costs $3.99 at Taco Bell here. Everyone in there spoke Spanish and the guy working was really nice and didn't charge us for a side of beans and rice for my toddler.

...after googling...I thought it was a chain but apparently there is only one and it is in Oshawa.
