    Thanks, @oligaro , that's true. But we are aware of this. If you go through the thread you'll see we've been tracking the changes all along. When some of us applied, the average waiting time was about 9 years.

    I'm sorry, have you been reading this thread? My last message was actually a follow-up to message #113, in which I commentend on my GCMS notes. I haven't had any updates since AOR. And there's been no assessment whatsoever. I initially sent my documents to Nova Scotia. Now, my file is...
