Ow my god, these guys are slow these days. What's going on? My relief is that I'm not the only one waiting for the MR.
We are all in the same boat. ??? ???
That is true! I have sent them an e-mail yesterday, asking for some info on my application and they answered right away. Not much of a help, though:
"Dear Sir ,
We refer to your application for permanent residence in Canada being processed at this office.
We acknowledge receiving your message. We realize that delays in the processing of visa applications are always frustrating to all concerned. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in many different ways, including health, security and criminality.
Increasing volume can inevitably affect processing times beyond reasonable expectations. Also, delays in the processing of an application are often out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities.
Our office will contact you as soon as all verifications are completed, or as soon as more information, documents or an interview are required.
Thank you for your continued patience.
Regards"
