Outland March/April/May

It's interesting to see their figures over the year but what I'd really be interested in seeing is a recent year's month to month progress. Maybe it would give us a better insight into their processing times oppose to what their are posting now. 67 days pft

Meds - Apr 13/10
App rec'd CPC-M - Apr 21/10
Sponsor Aprvd - May 27/10
App In Process/Meds Rec'd - Jun 16/10
DM - July 27/10
PPR via Email - Aug 4/10
PP w/ VISA - Aug 24/10
CommonLaw - London

Umm, well I think the whole lot is screwed, in 3 weeks it hasnt changed from Feb 11th, just the days gone up according to the dates.

I think someone forgot to update it, maybe not, maybe its a government vacation.

Still like Harmonia says, when it happens it happens, I mean whats the point in it taking 1 day in Mississauga if it takes 12 months in your embassy, and thats not really something you can get even a rough guidline from.

"Will this matter a year from now?"
Probably, this is gonna be a one hell of a long journey.

Good evening everyone.

My wife and I can now officially start our timeline since our package to CPC-M finally went out today.

I must admit that I never thought it would be so difficult to prepare this, and so time consuming also (probably didn't help that I'm a perfectionist.. hehe), but we're so happy that it's done and we can now enter the waiting process. I feel 5lbs lighter now (yep I weighed it) since I don't have to carry around all that paperwork anymore with me everyday.

We will anxiously await the results over the next few months because I won't be able to go back to the Phils until then to be reunited with her. Our case is pretty straight forward - no dependants, no health issues, no prior marriages or common law relationships, an 8 year age difference (31-39), no criminal pasts - so we're really hoping that our DM will happen within the 6 month average (for the Phils). I wouldn't want her to have to land right in the middle of our Canadian winter.. hehe.

Good luck to everyone who are already playing the waiting game.

Welcome SteelAce! Godspeed on your application!

Well after lots of preparation, I finally submitted the application to sponsor my wife.

I sure hope it is all done before my sons are 2 yrs old so I can save on airfare. But I am not too hopeful it will be done prior to the end of October.

Hope everyone gets processed swiftly.

Cheers

Daz

	I think 67 days is a worst-case scenario. I'm holding out for faster :) but -- if it takes 67 days, it takes 67 days. Anything before then is a bonus.

	Even so - the processing guidelines are for cases processed last year... and they are 'average' processing times. It's a crapshoot.

	Until I sent in my Application I was the most laid back person around. I couldn't understand why everyone else in this situation was so anxious and worrying about the process. NOW, I am a bag of nerves...obsessive even. I find myself constantly online reading posts on these Immigration Forums. Looking for answers, or any information that might make me feel better about teh whole thing. Unfortunately reading all of these posts has just made me even more anxious. Good luck to you all and with any luck we will all be together with our families SOON!

	We received your application to sponsor ME on March 31, 2010. We sent you a letter on April 30, 2010 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. So all being well, this week it should be off to London. The timelines are wrong, this got there March 29th and they have opened it already, yet the site still says they are processing Feb 17th. And the fact that it shows up on a Sunday afternoon shows what a load of bollox the whole information process from CIC is.
