I'm definitely swinging wildly between antsy and as patient as possible... I guess I just want to know if I am indeed in process too, but I know I won't get any real specific answers beyond what others have gotten. I wish there was a real way to find out why ALL of our little group is so stuck/skipped/in limbo/whatever. I've been pondering contacting my (future, haha) MP to find out if there's anything we can do collectively, but since Parliament is set to adjourn next week, I don't know if it would help anything. Especially since we are all still officially still within the "normal" processing time as per the CIC chart.CandC2009 said:I dont think it throws you back in the que. I sent in a Case Specific Inquiry just asking for a status update and they got back to me (well my husband) the next day. all I got was a simple respose of 'your case is in process nothing more is needed from you at this time'
Thats how I found out I was in process (Ecas is still app received) if you are getting really antsy and just want to make sure you're in process email them. They should be able to just quickly pull up your file on the computer and see its in process. I dont see how that would pull you to the back of the line.
I guess the hardest part is seeing people AFTER us getting through so fast. It might sound silly, but it's almost painful at times!
I think part of my impatience is just how boring and lonely it gets here sometimes. I'm "visiting" for a good chunk of the summer, and I'm really hoping my next trip down through Buffalo will include getting that elusive visa! But until then, I don't really know what to do with myself... Can't work, don't know many people yet (We're not in the greatest neighbourhood at the moment, so I'm not too comfortable exploring on my own!) and everything I have looked into volunteering for requires background checks (which they don't seem to want to do or can't do for me) or a car, or other such things I can't provide... It gets frustrating spending so much time alone! Does anyone else feel like this at times?
Sorry for the rambling. Just can't get to sleep! :
