My application was received on July 2 and I still have no response. Inaccurate information about the processing time on their website made me to change my ticket twice, and I finally ended up cancelling my whole trip. I don't really know why this government breaks down a working system on visa and starts a pilot project with absolutely no preparation. I experienced the same situation 2 years ago when they suddenly appointed a new centre for renewal of study permit applications for students.
At this point, I just hope that they finalize my application sometime in the next week since I have to attend a conference and I need my Passport. As a tax payer in this country I will place a complain through the MP (member of parliament) in my region if they don't finalize my application in 60 days. I know nothing serious would change with this system but at least they wont fall in the misunderstanding that this situation is OK or normal or anything appropriate.
