i2canada, thank you for sharing and giving us hope! I was delighted to hear your story.

Every situation is unique, and throw in the human factor and external forces that are beyond our control. All that make this whole process very frustrating. God bless all.

Usually, it is within 2-3 months of your application receipt date but sometimes never.
