Hey Guys
I am in the same boat. My application was received by the Ottawa office on March 13 2013 and I have not heard anything from them as yet. I did make one mistake though. I did not know that I could include a prepaid canada post xpress envelope. Now I am just hopng that the application is delayed and not lost in the mail as I have no way of tracking it
I have emailed them twice now and still waiting for a response. I also tried calling the CIC call centre at 1-888-242-2100 and used their menu to get a status update on my application and all the auto responder says is that my application was received on March 13 2013. So I am guessing may be my application has not finished processing?
If anyone wants to try and see if they get a different response then try calling the number above and navigate to > Check application status submitted within Canada and then choose Visitor.
Best of luck and I'll keep you guys posted.
Cheers!
