That's what I have been thinking, that I am a July applicant. But if I am, why has my file (including some other early July applicants) not even been touched yet, I mean, it hasn't even been opened for initial review. I realise that on this forum we discuss based on the application date, which is why I am so concerned, my application date is July 11. July is almost done, and my file was received at Mississauga on July 11, 2013, people whose files were received much much later than that are "in-process" or have "DM" (some even have received their visa's). This whole process, the way NDVO works is just really really messed up. NDVO has no rules and regulations in place, they just randomly pick off applications and work on them whenever they "feel like it". And if a lazy, fat, samosa eating visa officer gets your file, good luck, he/she will just sit on it for no reason
