I will check for you, because a lawyer in montreal applied for me,coz I keep flying between countries, coz of my work.
So it took time for you ..
for me i applied in nov 2010 and file number received at end of august.
how is your french language?
I am practicing french, as its bit easy for me since i speak spanish and i am from a francophone country
Much appreciated budd, But I don't think so it is that easy and btw it takes almost good 4 months to receive first AOR from the Paris BIQ. I have started learning French, but now a days don't find much time for it. You can consider me at A1 level though. Yes Spanish, Italian, and French have a lot of common words. Especially Italian and Spanish. I know basic Italian as well as currently I am working in Italy. I hope you will receive your interview call soon. ALL the very best!
