Hi Everyone
I called CIO last week. I wanted to make sure that our application actually received CIO - it was sent by our immigration consultant and she told us, that she had sent it 21st August and CIO reveived it the next day (it was sent from Missisauga by courier). When i called them frst time, some guy told me that currently it may take 33 weeks to get the first information and that he cannot tell me anything about my file. The second call to CIO looked totaly different. I told to the nice lady that our consultant could not tell us the truth and i would like to make sure tah CIO has my application. She checked and told me that CIO has it, but they received my application OCTOBER 7th!
How is that possible? I contacted my consultant - she sent mi by e-mail confrmation of sending the application on August 21st. I don't really know what is going on. She paid our fees by BD - she won't check when it was encashed (this kind of services is not mentioned in our agreement).
Today i sent an e-mail to CIO asking about the date of receiving my application. I sent it on adress:
FSW-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca
i got an auto-answer:

Will see, if they tell me anything - i'm a little bit confused rigth now
Anyway - maybe you guys have any idea why those dates are so far away from each other?
