Hello Everyone,
I have been going through the NDVO and LVO threads, and I noticed that a few weeks ago, NDVO members sent emails to Minister Alexander, and they started receiving MR's not long after. I don't know if these events are in anyway connected, but LVO members are now suggesting that LVO applicants should do the same. I don't know if this would do the magic, but I feel that there is no harm in trying. I have just sent an email to Minister Alexander, and I suggest that you do the same. Here are the email addresses I got from the LVO thread.
chris.alexander @ parl.gc.ca
minister @ cic.gc.ca
Hope it works out. Fingers crossed while we keep waiting and praying.
