Hi Winterfox
Just checked the CIC processing times again and it still says 12 months. So I am going to be an optimist and say that may be the due date is more like a hard deadline date that CIC gives themselves to definitely make a decision by. In case there are delays due to back logging etc. Wishful thinking? May be. But I am going to remain positive
Plus, looking at the timeline of other applicants who applied before us, we should see medicals being requested starting from first week of May at least. So we will definitely know for sure by then if the progress is on time or not.
I am not in Canada any more, but it might not be a bad idea for someone from the September 2014 group to apply for another set of GCMS notes. That way we will be able to compare the due dates. I hear it's free if you apply from within Canada.
Cheers!
