Ankara used to be one of the fastest visa offices (5, 6, 7 months) until it took over files from Damascus. Delays from the last twelve months were anything but normal. It just seems to me that things are coming back to normal over there...Godzilla9 said:

Hahaha! Fresh applicants are always so anxious to see their status changed to "In Process"! It goes without saying that closing the oldest files is what should be done in priority. Last year has been very hectic in Ankara (and all over CIC); therefore, you should feel blessed you won't have to wait as long as many of older applicants had to wait. What killed me was seeing new files being processed (and sometimes closed) while no one in Ankara had even opened our file yet! It took them almost five months to give our file a first look, then one month to contact my husband for an interview, then one more month before the interview. More than six months after Ankara received our file, it was finally in process! Did I also mention it took Mississauga three months to complete step 1 for files received last spring? It's been more than 11 months and I'm still waiting... You guys are lucky and don't realize itlboxixodl said:
What you say is absolutely right. Nowadays, sponsorship takes less than a month, and Ankara in average processes files in 5 months. Older cases are processed for a year. I just wish you good luck with your cases because luck really plays a big role here. We were lucky that applied at a looser time.Güzelyol said:Hahaha!

Did you apply in the family class? If so, it's strange that they ask you to send them the CSQ because it's normally sent to the sponsor AND the visa office by Quebec. Anyway, did you contact Ankara VO using the case specific inquiry form on the Web (https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=ankara)? That's the way you should contact them, not through their general email address.serhan said:
Ankara office's website clearly says that they do not confirm receipt of documents and you should ask them about that. If you sent them, then they received it and added on fileserhan said:
I recommend to check following spreadsheet out for a second and you can estimate what will be happening on your application.serhan said:
