Jan. 27 applicant, almost 21 months in waiting. When I applied, the processing times were 16 months. I feel so cheated. CIC took my money and did not deliver their end of the bargain. If I knew it was going to be like this, I would have waited for EE. I have enough points.
There is a special place in hell for my CIC agent. In it, they will order a coffee from Timmies and will wait for it forever. They will watch the line of people pass in front of their eyes, getting their orders and leaving. When they ask what's taking so long, they will hear, "Every order is different! Everything is fine. You just have to wait". There is no option to talk to the manager. They cannot get their money back. They are stuck. Their partner is waiting outside and cannot join them. Ever.
