You are about 10 days over the processing time... You probably dont have to worry too much . We were quoted 14 days and we have been waiting for over 5 weeks now and are still waiting. We applied in Kingston Jamaica. From what i understand, it seems to be kind of acceptable. i guess it teaches us patience :)
Good luck to you and your mom, I hope you receive a positive response very soon!

Re: student visa rejected,will apply again,,,good idea?

Cori123 are you talking daft or what? ".. It seems to be kind of acceptable. I guess it teaches up to be patient:)" You should never accept discrimination full stop!

What are we really supposed to do, if there is only an answering machine when you call there. when you are told it can take up to 1 month to receive an answer to your email?( already 2 weeks in, on the email line up!) What are we supposed to do when we are 6 weeks in and the website says 2 weeks????? Absolutely nothing!! So we might as well learn something on the personal level. We can only be patient...That s all we have.

Many, many people from certain Countries apply for a visitor visa, then either overstay, disappear or attempt a refugee claim.

Do not blame CIC for long processing times, blame the people that try and scam their way into Canada illegally.

Innocents will suffer because of the minority, this is not discrimination by Canada but a fact of life for some nationalities.

Hi Riamo, if you are in Canada your best bet will be to go to local MP's office and explain ur situation to the admins there, they usually have a personnel dealing with immigration issues and they can get an answer from islamabad about ur mom' visa.
