Congrats to all the Ottawa applicants for DM! :)

Unfortunately, Mexico City office is not as fast. Our file has been sitting there since December 22nd and no movement. I believe it's still normal so we are not too worried yet.

Wishing everyone luck!! I feel like this thread is so quiet.. Sending everyone good vibes and big hugs!!
hello September, it is quiet on here. August was hopping so I found myself over on that thread a lot. i wish everyone had a less than 6 month wait. all i can say is this forum kept me sane, so I hope September apps will check in with each other more often. it really helps, especially in the darkest months of no news at all.

Still (im)patiently waiting for that PPR e-mail. :D

August and September almost needed a combined thread when it came to Ottawa, because it definitely felt like there was tandem processing going on.

I agree. I am guilty of stepping away for the past 2 months just because it was difficult to deal with the waiting. Good news is, I feel that things are picking up! Submitted our application mid-sept and now the hubby is sending his passport as per request!! Hang in there everyone!

I think it's easier to have this group popping and talking when there are activities coming in from our various VO. With nothing happening, we almost don't have anything to talk about lol.
Praying for some more good news around here...

I had to do the same thing last November. It gets so stressful waiting for the next thing to arrive. I'll be very happy when this is all over.

Now if CIC could send out my PPR email....

I'm getting extremely ansy myself seeing all these applicants sent after my own getting DM... i really haven't heard much of a peep about anything since September/Oct.

Anyone know the number to call to speak to someone? Maybe I'll get an agent feeling empathetic enough to give me some information lol

Here is the number which can only be reached within Canada. 1-888-242-2100

What's your VO? Some are a lot slower than others.
