    It's extremely weird, doesn't make any sense. -- I have a lot of family ties in Russia and I don't have any ties in Canada. -- I have no idea how relevant could that even be. -- My employment record directly proves otherwise. -- WHAT IN THE WORLD??? I think the Warsaw office is just directly...

    Something curious happened today, the "maybe something, maybe not" kind. I've got two emails from the contractor that took my biometrics, one saying that "The envelope for the decision on the results of your visa that has been processed has been received at the Canadian Visa Application Center"...
