My application is in process since march 2007

[Maria Gabriela Chacin]

My application is IN PROCESS since march 2007, I just do not receive any news and it is exhausting to wait and wait. It feels like my application is lost in a big maountain of files and maybe it's the last one on the line, or maybe it got out of the line and it is lost forever. Does somebody knows why the waiting is so long?

Hola Maria.
I applied in 2005, so I've been patiently waiting 2 years longer than you.

Where did you apply?  There's a lot of backlog in many countries, some are worse than others, it's just the reality I guess... Bureaucracy exists everywhere.

But the good news is that the Canadian govt is trying to accelerate the process:

So... let's continue hoping that they look at our papers some day.

Buena Suerte!

LOL... 2005... that means 2 more years for me,

if you read this, it's because I'm dead... I just killed myself after I read your message.
