Nice! Congrats! This is what a normal process looks like, not like mine and a few others with 12 months wait for each step.

Hi fellows! I have been also waiting since Oct 27 when my application was delivered and it's been in process since Jan 14! Is it helpful to directly email Mississauga office to follow up? Does anyone have their email address by any chance? Thanks

I think that you can make a call directly. If it has passed one year, they will check the state of your application and let you know what is slowing down the process.

No they don’t let you know any reason since they don’t know either

exactly they don't know either, they will just give u a generic answer, thats it, so frustrating

Yeah, I called the call center and they just said it's in process, I said I know, I can see that myself and they said that's all they can see. I sent a form request to CIC then and asked them why after one year my application is still in process! What's holding this? After a few days they emailed me back and said my application is in process and if they need anything they will let me know - another useless generic answer. No matter how or where you contact, you will get the same useless generic answer unfortunately or they will give you the info that you can already see on the e-CAS yourself. It seems there is no accountability and based on the answers they give you it’s clear that they don’t even look at your case, they just give you a generic answer – they really don’t care. I am going to wait another month and if I don’t hear back I am going to take my case to media to spread the inconsistency and unfairness of the process and I hope more do the same. Good luck all.

12 months for each step??

Heavily exaggerating, the entire process has been 12 months, so they are saying each step is taking 12 months.

 

[cn2017]

12 months for each step??

Feels like it my friend. More than 12 months now and still waiting just for the test invite, and based on this speed, probably another 12 months from test to DM and another 12 months from DM to Oath, who knows, I hope that's not the case. How's the process going for you?
