I haven't the foggiest idea. With the good Dr. debunking my theory of Spring Break, now I don't even have any far fetched theories to console me.
haha we need some inside intel A friend of friend is OK something to keep us sane other than the theory of Jan 2012 batch is from Mars.

83 days in mississauga!

last week,I called the call center and I asked to speak to a supervisor. Today I received a call and they told me they have my file, they have problems, to be patient, and give them time until late April. So nothing new. This is another performance of the conservative majority government!

Apparently they'd a computer system upgrades too which would explain such poorly maintain electronic records. That'd explain why some people are getting straight to approval and even file transfer without AOR. Once again, these are merely theories, trying to rationalize the irrationality that is CIC.

Hi Guys and Girls,

i have been trying to get hold of the high commission in london. its terrible! i know the voice recording off my heart now!

i just want to ask.. i want to plan a holiday in JUNE, not sure if i should. what do you guys think? does anyone know the implications of doing so? Also, when they do request your passport how long they have it for?

Thank you, nelmul

Congrats!

Does this mean you are nearing the end or is your visa office one that asks for it right at the beginning of the review?

Just curious.

Either way it's awesome
I never thought of that. I assumed it meant we were done. It says to come to vienna on Tuesdays or Thursdays to drop off the passport and we can pick it up at 3pm...with the visa I am assuming...that's what's happened to the people in the Vienna thread. Oh no, now you got me wondering :)

No don't be worried ,,sorry I didn't mean to scare you.

I believe new delhi asks for it right away and because yours came through so fast I thought I would enquire

If u get it back the same day I'm sure it means you are done.

If in fact you are done that's is extremely record timing and soooo awesome!

If u ask in the Vienna thread let me know.

Well we aren't going to drive all the way to Vienna just to give in a passport. From what I read on Vienna thread, everyone has gone and given the passport and gotten visa that day. I will check though and let you know. This means our whole process was under 3 months. Pretty good for a 9 month prediceted time. Chin up everyone with long waiting times...it could be faster :)

Is Vienna typically lightning fast?

I am hoping by the time my app gets to Mexico they will be sitting there tapping their fingers on their desks since they haven't been getting any apps recently. I can dream.

Welcome to the forum. Here is link the spreadsheet that gives you an idea of where everyone is at. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmxynnoT1qeadGJZWUlfekZUbm9YTVJuVzNFejU3eGc#gid=0

As far as I know, there's only one Jan 18 approval so far. I'm Jan 19 myself and waiting.

Mountain_pirate, i appreciate your response.
sigh*
Anyone, do you have contacts# to CIC-M? cz i just called CS and they've been telling me that my apps is not on their system yet and to call back in 3 months? To sum it up it would be like 6 months bfre they open my app? :mad: :(
Unluckily, i did not rcvd any confrmation if my file is wth them. nothing... where would it be, where? sigh again!!!
