Honeybird,
hope that by dropping that letter in to inform them that their 3 months are up, that they
will provide you with some type of info or feedback. My wife has waited two weeks before dropping off
her passport as requested. I mentioned before that I did not pay the permanent resident fees with the
initial package, so on my wifes letter they asked for the payment to be made in Canada, before issuing
the visa. My wife will go tomorrow in the a.m. to drop off her passport, after that we sit and wait
again. Like you, I suspect a lot of visa request, but your ship will come in soon. Canada takes their
permanent resident status very seriously, once you become one, the rights and protections that you
are granted, cannot be easily overturned, so the delay is just their making sure that you and everyone
else fits all the necessary requirements, which involves a thorough background check. I have seen a lot
of horror stories here on a few investigative tv programs, on individual sponsoring mates, and when they
come to Canada, go there seperate ways. Lots of fraudalents sponsorships, so these are all factors to the
timeline. The mere fact that you application is proceeding, is a sure sign that they are taking every care.
Hope that you have a wonderful time with your mate in Magarita.
