Hi All

Just wanted to give everyonethe heads up , i spoke to an agent this morning & she advised CIC have added another 4 additional months onto CEC Applications in addition to the 6 months they say due to a high volume of applications. My AOR is June 15, she said it could be March next yr until i get it :(

Its the 2nd agent thats said it 'to manage expectations'. Everything is fine with my application & im not in SS...

Ive really lost hope now

Realistically though, CIC would want to clear up their shelves. They'll have to finish processing old application to receive new ones. Since May and most of June CEC application have been pretty much cleared up, yours should be processed soon. Hang in there!

Not sure what's going on, the agent I was just on phone 5 minutes ago told me she never heard of the 4 additional months processing time thing. :eek:

U spoke to an agent ? u meant the lawyer who did the application for u ? Im sure it's a fake news. If they added 4 months to the process, they would notify in CIC website.
