Hi taffy and others,
It is an arduous process but stay positive.
I'm in a similar (though not as bad) situation having applied last July, it's being processed in Ottawa fortunately but has been "in process" for 2 months now.
Anyway we are now considering moving to Canada as my notice period at work is nearly here, there we will apply for a within Canada application as you can get a work permit within 4 months if you do this which at least gives a worst case scenario. Have you considered it?
Does anyone know if you are allowed to do this and what the implications may be on my current outside Canada application?
Thanks
