We've bee waiting for a long time now, I think we deserve an answer. It's ridiculous how long.
We sent them more supporting documentation last month and our MP emailed them and got this response:
" Your application is with an IO" currently under review.

This is what they said to me also "under review"... Does this mean the application is not been touch and still for review OR currently being reviewed?

My ecas say " application received". Im not sure if this is "in process" or if they already touched or reviewed my application.
What do u think?

@raniloc,

unfortunaly "application received" doesn´t mean its in process. when it´ll change on your e-cas "in process" it´s actually in process. till then they won´t look at it.

bye

hope you´ll have an smooth process :)

That is what im speculating too... they have not touched yet my application. Another question, Back in April I received the AOR, Passport request and Appendix A and submitted them. However, I sent another document a letter just last week as I overlooked an information in my history that they need to know. Would they include this late information in my application package?

It's odd, we're still waiting, another week has gone by and it's almost hitting the 12 month mark. Calling Immigration Canada won't do anything, do you think I should try calling Buffalo? There's no way I would even get thru....

I guess all I can do is continue to wait, it just sucks when people who have applied in 2011 are getting PPR before people who've applied back in August 2010. I'm happy for them but it makes me worried that they've forgotten about us, the ones who applied back in 2010.

Chess101- I feel yer pain, altho is hasn't been a year since we sent away our application, its been a year since I have seen my husband. We did further medical testing back in april and to this day we haven't heard a word yet. I'm very happy for 2011 ppl that are getting thro but sad as well ofcourse. I keep thinking to myself well when is my happiness gonna come?!?! I feel like my IO is MIA. I've sent emails and no response whatsoever. I'm giving it till the end of next week and then I will contact my MP! Maybe you should do the same
