FML.........I am October 23, Ottawa, and not even "In Progress" yet. Gosh... >:( >:(

I wouldn't worry too much about "in progress". For us, it only showed up the same day as DM. For the longest time we just had application and medicals received. Out of nowhere, it went to DM and at the same time they added in process, but dated 2 days prior.

YMMV, of course.

Sometimes with the written word it's hard to understand if there's something going on, but I wasn't trying to dismiss what you were saying, just that I had no opinions on why CIC had requested the birth certificate or what it could mean. I just wanted to let you know that getting DM, without them asking you point blank to prove your relationship or giving you an interview, is a good thing.

I apologize if you understood that I was saying you were babbling.

Lol Bigredmoose, you were just telling me the facts. I used the word babbling because I did feel like I was doing so.

Lol you are correct once again. It's hard to tell the emotions from just reading the words.

I'm sorry I should have inserted a smily face after the sentence. :) Didn't mean to confuse you.

Oh good, I've had a few crossed wires on here lately, where people are mad at me because of a misunderstanding, so I'm glad that wasn't the case here!

COOKIE AND FRESHMAN!!! Congrats to you both. I ALSO just got DM today ;D ;D ;D

Crazy since they don't typically update on Fridays, but it worked for us three! I too didn't have any correspondence since SA. Yahoo!

Thank you! you too! :)

It wasn't the case at all. The last thing I want is to come here and have arguments. None of us needs that. We have enough stress from waiting and wondering about our applications.

Kerryann, is your file "in process" on ecas? If yes, since when? I wonder why it takes so long to finalise our files?

No. I've heard nothing. Still at Application received

Ok thanks. I hope this coming week you receive a DM. All the best!
 
I can't modify the October spreadsheet for some reason, no editing options. Anyone else having trouble? I didn't have any issues with the Ottawa spreadsheet. If someone can edit, please add my DM for July 2.
 
hi everyone
Landed yesterday, on Rainbow Bridge in Niagara Falls, and it was awfully long. Probably choosing 4th of July was not my best decision, so many people! I waited 2 hours already after they took my passport. Other than that, everything was nice and quick, no problems, nice officer. Just one advice: probably best not to choose the US/Canadian border in tourist city, on the day when most people travel both ways like crazy :D

I have trouble when using Safari, since long time spreadsheet does not work properly. Everything ok on Firefox
 
Congrats cookie and freshman !!!! nice to see things moving. :) :)

I am still waiting with 'Application Received" status though.

Thank you! mtn_air also got DM last Friday. I hope CIC keeps up and gives out a handful of DMs every week! Hope you get your DM soon!
