Montreal 2012 Applicants

[EasyRider]

Any 2012 applicants from Montreal here? Has anyone got RQ or test invitation already?

2011-2013 Montreal applicants are welcome to share timelines.

See existing timelines from link in my signature. These timelines are from a different forum at the moment, but I'll merge timelines from both forums.

Thanks!

Thank you, Ali. Did you apply from Montreal? 8 months after application to get RQ seems to be very fast for Montreal.

I just received my RQ today, my timeline is as follows:

CIC received my application : January 16, 2013
CIC started processing my application: March 10, 2013.
RQ Sent : 23 September 2013

Did you apply from Montreal and got RQ only 8 months since application date?

My timeline is as follows: (you can find me on the 'May applicants 2013' thread)
Receipt Date: May 27, 2013
InProcess: Sep 10, 2013
Date AOR: Oct 1, 2013

I am surprised that Ali_M3's file took 8 months for an RQ. That could means if I would get an RQ, it would be in the next month (plus/minus). Two people above applied in January 2013, and both got RQs in Sep 2013 (in 8 months, 1 day apart). I see a pattern. And the weird thing is that both applicants are named Ali (I assume from the username, might be wrong)

I hope they don't really discriminate between the English applications and French applications. I have a feeling...hope I am wrong.

I posted this in another thread. your comments appreciated:

Good Evening guys,

I was looking at this spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai9o70015IRPdFl6MnhXV0VZbnN1YnZWLXpld0Vya1E#gid=4

and I was stunned to see this applicant's processing time: 9 months!!! Shocked in MONTREAL!!! Shocked how come? Check row 695. I can't believe it. What's so special about that person's application. I wish the CIC would treat a lot of us equally. Why would someone have to wait 2 years while some wait 8 or 9 months.
