hey bellhill,
it's possible that they mean 6 weeks after they received ur application, I believe u should e-mail them again. Unfortunately, if u look at vnca's timing, their application reached on July 13 and was barely cashed on Sept. 2...I believe the cut-off date will be around July 18, the way things look. I will also e-mail CIC next Thursday, but if everybody keeps updating I think we might find out before that.
Congrats vnca! good luck to all
