PS Thanks for help and encouragement from this forum
Further update: I also wrote updating some minor information and asking for re-assurance that my file had, indeed, been transferred. 6th Nov
Received a reply last night at 22:00 29th Nov. (computer experts - does that really mean someone was working late ? If so well done to them !)
Your file has been transferred from the former Visa Office in Buffalo to this office in Ottawa for processing and it represents only one of thousands of files that we need to integrate into our own workload and this process will take several months to realize fully. Nevertheless, we are actively reviewing files on an ongoing basis to ensure that priority be given to those clients whose files have been transferred from Buffalo and whose applications were submitted at an earlier date than those who have applied more recently to our Department. You can rest assured that we are making every effort to offer fair treatment to all our clients, on a first-come, first-served basis.
It also stated thet medicals would be extended to allow for processing. Great ! First time I've seen that in writing and it seems to be a general policy (looks like it to me, but what do I know !). So good news all round to those here.
Finally it gave some rough idea of the time-frame I might expect - weeks to months providing everything is in order.
Now I feel guilty for applying for gcms notes. Never mind - it was what I thought best at the time.
