Very sweet! However where are the old discussions and time lines. I would feel sorry if we lost them.

Hope you all who were on the previous forum will make it to this one.

Lina Mississauga or anyone with thoughts on this:
Today I called the call center again and still nothing and was given this suggestion and it is the 2nd time:
Send another application and mail directly to Sydney along with an explanation letter and to request expediting opening of our applications.
I want to consider but what if it is simply put in the back of the line again. And then what about the photos we sent in? Where are they?
I was told if I put URGENT on the envelope they will open and then read the explanation letter.
Any thoughts on this? It is recommendable or not?

Thank you ecsfor posting the link.
As for you canadaturk, In fact,I don't know, haven't heard of such problem. However, I believe that, and since you applied via Kolbe, you should check with Kolbe themselves, they should be able to help you. Sorry...

Kolbe is absoulutely worthless as far as getting any info. Their position is that we took the test and Mississauga mails the apps to Sydney.
This whole situation is turning out to be less than expected. We took our test on Mar 3, 2009 and we are still not even in the system in Sydney.
There have been two occations where Mississauga has said that Kolbe mails out the apps which is simply not true. Kolbe only administers the class to prepare for the test and helps people complete the application. After that it is Mississauag who mails them. My MP's office called a contact in Mississauga and was told that Kolbe mails the apps. The call centre so far has sent two messages to Mississauga and after the second message a response was received stating that our apps were mailed to Sdyney the day of the test on Mar 3.
If in fact that is true then why after 9 months we are not in the system and nothing can be located?
So you have them telling the MP office they don't mail the apps then they are responding to messages stating they mailed the apps on Mar 3. I have personally sent two faxes to Mississauga and sent a letter of complaint by mail of which I have received no response. Now it is being suggested that we mail new applications along with an explanatory letter. So I don't know what to do. We seem to be kicked from one place to the other all the while just trying to get an answer to a simple question. It is not rocket science--either it was mailed or not and if so when was it mailed.
Anybody had any experience like this???

Canadaturk, just wait although they say they do not jhave the info. Once they start procesing, it will be a much quicker one. Similar thing happened to someone I know from Mississauga who applied to Kolbe.You ill definitely end up having a similar timeline like others. OThers have to wait after the file is transferred and after the test but yours, you wont have to...Anyways...good luck.

Canadian Immigration is the first name of "Waiting n Waitings"
 
When you apply you have to wait for 7 years to get first response for updation documents then 5 months for provisional approval then 6 motnhs for Medicals then 6 - 8 months for visa. Now, after arrival and after spending 3 years immigrant have to wait for passport/citizenship for 1-2 years.
 
When one apply in young age in 30 years and get passport in 40 years with tears.
