I sent off by FAX for FOSS 3 weeks ago so not long now , I think you sent your FAX just before I did so yours should come sooner than mine !

KiwKris; I think you should call baby eyeoftheocean after me ROFLMAO !   Have you called CIC again ? I called my local IO office but he hasnt called me back so news there lol .

Lol yeah that would definitely be an interesting first name EOTO for short! :0) HEHEHE
Going to try  calling  them today on my lunch break...so I may not get through, wish me luck! I wish I had an IO to call and harass lol

Yeah I have been quite sick and only in the last few weeks feeling better plus have only started telling people recently...but you can tell now though...no getting away with it now!  

Hope your FOSS notes come soon.....LY & Eye

Guys June 14th really isn't that bad. I mean we already know that last week they were working at least two days past that so cheer up.
I think when they post the updates they just want to make sure that everyone up to that certain date has already gotten an answer. Because only a few may have gotten approved up to June 16th so if they posted that date and a lot of people didn't have any answer yet then they would freak out. And they would try to contact CIC etc etc. See what I am trying to say?

I think we were just to optimistic with the polls. Next time we will all just have to be more realistic.
And I am not going to lie it is a bit disappointing to see them go from practically processing 12 days ahead to 8 days but I will take it.
Maybe someones application was really complicated and slowed some things down.

TL I would say that you should hear something at the end of the week or at least at the beginning of next week.

[TeresaLynn]

We are keeping our fingers crossed for you TL.........By the way did you send your application on June 15 or it received on June 15th?

They received it June 18th, I should really update that. I am gonna do that now.

[Mona_Barca]

Could some answer my question above about the Print Option C?

[TeresaLynn]

Could someone advise me if not submitting a "Print Option C" with your sponsorship application is a huge mistake? We did submit my husband's Tax Assessment sheet instead of the "Print Option C", because we did not know.
If we get it now and send it as an additional document; will that be accepted?

It's not a huge mistake but I think you should submit a copy. Did you submit record of earnings such as T4's ect?

[Mona_Barca]

No, actually my husband was not working in Canada. He worked on a job for a month during 2009 and we was getting paid in cash, so he did not have a T4.
I started getting worried again. When it says your application is In Progress, does that mean you accepted the documents you have sent to them, or they can send your stuff back after 8 months of wait!

[ditta]

I agree with Love_Young, it is not bad and I am not even worried about mine until the website will pass the 25th of June. I am realistic and not hoping for getting an answer one or two weeks ahead. Waiting another week is nothing compared to how much we have already waited...

TL, my fingers and toes are crossed for you! I really wish you to hear something this week.

Kris, congratulations!!! I missed a lot of what is going on here and just discovered that you are expecting! Fantastic news!! Have a great pregnancy and enjoy each and every minute of it! It all worth the morning sickness, the sleepless nights, I love being a mom.

Cheer up everyone! Have a great weekend you all!
