Still nothing for me.... sent my family application from Red Deer, AB on Sept 22 and was received on 25th of the same month.... Called up CIC today twice and I got different advice from agents. one told me to send another application because they might have sent it back but lost in transit but the other agent said wait till end of January 2015 because even though they are processing October 2014 application it doesn't mean they have replied to all applicants in September.....
Its kind of frustrating if we need to send another new application, the time, effort and money, we need to get a new picture and send it again. if we send it thru registered mail then they should have send it back the way we send it or thru registered mail also so we can keep track if it was lost in transit on the way back and not to mention we will not know which part we get wrong because me and my wife had reviewed it not once or twice but a lot of times before sending it.
they are sending back incomplete application thru regular mail only but they have increased the fee so we deserve a better service, anyhow I will wait till the end of January next year.....
