I don't recall the exact date of our application, but so far here's how things have gone for us *sigh*
(applying as investor in Lebanon)
Interview done in Nov. 2009 in Montreal
CSQ received in Jan 2010
Asked for police certificates around Jan 2012.
And that was the last we heard of them. I checked our file status, says our file was transferred to Beirut on Feb 24, 2012.
For applicants in Beirut, I know for a fact that the embassy has been completely understaffed since the immigration department relocated from Damascus to Beirut, and know for a fact that they just brought in a LOT of new employees to work on applications that were in progress when all the Syria fiasco happened.
My friend who had applied as an investor, and had his CSQ dated only THREE MONTHS before ours, already landed here exactly a year ago.
Anyone else in this situation? Or anyone has any updates?
Thanks!
J.
