Wow travelling for a full 5 weeks - I can't think of a better way to take your mind off the application process and make the time fly by!

Hopefully by the time you get back you will be onto stage 2! Have an amazing trip and I will try and get a table thingy going to track everyone's process

Good luck with posting your application, hope the post office went well!

It was such a relief to mail it (until I start panicking about all the little things I may have forogtten) - after 3 very stressful days regarding our meds and some photos, I have finally found a mini Zen of 'it's out of our hands, nothing we can do about it, if we forgot something they will just send it back' - although this is accompanied by a obsessive need to check the Dec thread's table, and the CPC site (i still don't have access to ecas)
I know exactly how you feel, we mailed ours yesterday afternoon, such a feeling of relief, load off our shoulders after it was sent! Although I spent most of the evening on these forums trying to see how long everyone else's applications were taking through Paris lolll. I think I'll be obsessively checking all these threads too ;D

Good luck all. x

After a few days of unexpected obstacles we finally mailed ours this afternoon. "Relieved" doesn't begin to cover it :) I feel like somebody suddenly handed me my life back... even though there's not really much I can do, at least I'll stop looking at forms :D

Best of luck to everyone!

Now you'll start looking at these forums instead ;) ;D We sent ours on Monday via Expresspost (guaranteed delivery in 2 days) and its STILL not there!!
Aaarrrrggghh, it probably would have gone faster by snailmail. :'(

Jan 21/11 - was received at Mississauga yesterday morning - YAY.

Kaycee - I would agree with that! I keep looking at Decembers thread for timelines - there are only about 5 or 6 of us here in Jan. It will be interesting to see if it has any effect on the processing time!

So it seems as though the December thread is almost done ( i was as snooping around on the time lines) ;) - the CIC site says they are now working on application received Dec 22 - it shouldn't be long before we start seeing some action here in Jan!

Although I think most of us are in the middle of Jan so there may be another quite week or 2. It least I feel as though there is some progess (even if i'm not directly effected).

Hey I was on the December thread last night, and someone said their sponsorship was approved on December 29th. I think they had said they called CIC- Mississauga. If that is true then the website processing times are about 6-7 days behind. If that is the case they be starting on January applications this week. Let's only hope right? but just thought i would come on here and let all of us January applicants know that..Good Luck
