I bet this email must be from Mr. Tom Richter manager of SVO. He answers almost every email and do update a lot of people with good news.

There is a rumor from within IRCC that the government is considering to change the applications accepting period for 2017 from January into June, so they can assess the latest income tax return from the sponsors. Purely speculation at this point don't take this serious.

My lawyer just told me that he heard a rumor CIC will be asking visa offices to send all the Family Class files back to Ottawa and no more oversea processing for PR effective immediately. I am not sure how accurate that is. :o Does that mean extra extra waits for parents those who already...
