Hey shootingstar,
I was really dissapointed. Admittedly, I only provided language tests for the principal applicant, but that should be what they care about. So it is so frustrating for them to consider my case incomplete and to ask for all the tests again. And when I called and explained we have already provided the test results for the principal applicant, they just told me they can not look at my file and I should provide everything that was asked for in the letter.
And of course the stupid IELTS and TEFAQ exams don't want to provide another diploma (like it's made of gold), or they take forever to do so. This is so discouraging, and then it's just the beginning. Who knows what else they're gonna say they didn't get? Or how long it's going to take...
The main reason I chose Canada was because it seemed like a relatively straightforward process, which shouldn't take more than 18 months all together. But after reading that some people wait for more than 1 year just for the CSQ and sometimes even more for Federal, I'm not sure I want to spend the time, money and stress to get this thing to fruition.
But I do want to greatly thank you for all your time and encouragement. I might just send them a copy of my spouse's test results with my test results and see what they say. Or I might just try to do the Federal in July again, although it's almost impossible to get in before 500 other from the entire world...
Good luck with the process going forward!
