on a second thought why wouldn't they come up with a number like 59 or 79.

isn't R rated to say 69 in a family class ;)
 
I totally agree, I demand for the timeline to be decreased to 59... since this is a family thing

btw.. where do I find the exact number of days? is it on cic website ?
 
yep... CIC web site.

All sponsors have 69 days for approval...

I thinking 69 days or less for approval.
 
Those of you who used this mailing address, below, how did you write it? for instant did you include the word, spouse, if you sponsoring your wife or common-law..? just curious.

Case Processing Centre
2 Robert Speck Parkway,
Suite 1200
Mississauga, ON
L4Z 1H8
 
yeah it was written on the guide exactly how to write the address of the cic office. You need to include type of sponsorship

well I was reading (as probably most of you :) ) August Thread , and it seems by those who were approved in last few days that it took about 68 days, I guess 70 is just approximate and if you go back a year, usually summer months have more applications and by this time it slows a bit so they processed faster it is not much difference , but any day counts , so pray a lot that they speed up a bit ;)
 
May I suggest that we change this topic to Q4 2011 applications! In this way more people will engage in a single topic and the chance for having people with the same VO increases and so they can compare their waiting time and discuss their issues easier. But this is just a suggestion and the decision has to be made by the October applicants;)

btw Good luck everyone
 
ya of course! it's a good suggestion......
 
68 daaaays!!!!!!!!!!!! yes!!! told ya!!!
 
nice!! thats 2 days less hahaha

hopefully it will keep on decreasing
 
now its 68 days ithink every year in the end of each year the immigration increase the times of sponsorship bcz last year applicants was complaining everyday bcz the time of sponsorship and ican see it start go down now bcz its has been 70 days for weeks and it will be less
 
back in june and july it was about 30 - 40 days only!! it increased a month since then

YESSSS 68 days! 2 Days less is better than more days. Although its not a significant change, this just made my day.

Lets go October!
