I was thinking the same thing.. that with the backlog in Canada.. Mexico City shouldn't have too many apps!! lol Yes we are hoping for Dec/Jan as well. Unfortunately that's the dead of winter.. but oh well

well nothing like jumping in with both feet!!!! actually this past winter would have been a very good winter for our spouses to endure!!!! here's hoping with the excitement of them getting here the -40 below won't be so bad.......(who am I kidding...I hate it myself!!!) ;D

It's incredible how they jumped the whole month of March in on the CIC website...it's so lame how inaccurate it is!

haha I hope this is true. mexico city should be good if they are stuck with backlog in canada.
but i wouldnt count on it haha.
we got transferd to mexico city in april. and unfortunatly we havent heard a single peep out of them. hopefully they just do the applications and dont care to much to update ecase! that would make me feel much better

before the end of the year would be great for all of us though!!

I know! After I joined this forum.. I stopped paying so much attention to the CIC website.

yes but at least april 2 and 92 days makes sense......and I am glad for the few left in march who have not heard that they can now call and see what is going on because they now profess to be working on april apps.....not to mention the 2 may 28th apps that received aor's today.....crazy...crazy!! :-\

I agree i just dont understand any of it...i hope it all goes fast for them and they don't have to wait so long!!

Good luck and keep us posted!!!

I would have thought that when they shipped some apps off to Ottawa a couple months ago to help with the backlog, it would have helped the disorganized process and get CIC back on track...but i see by these posts that it appears the disorganization has increased.... :

I think they're changing the way they do things and emailing AORs during initial checks. I doubt the May applicants will get approval before April. I think they're finally using the new barcode system.

i am sure calling to yell on the people deciding if you get to come to Canada is such a good idea

Nah, the people who answer the phones have zero power. Still nice to be polite though. I never had a rude person.

The call centre agents are useless. They can't really help. All they can do is check the computer system or perhaps make notes if the circumstances warrant it.

They've been okay when I called, but certainly not overly helpful or willing to go that extra mile. One agent told me I'm in their system (payment received). Called back a few weeks later and the agent said no record of anything. They're low level employees...it's a call centre, after all.

I can't even contact CIC-M because I live outside Canada. How awesome is that? Makes perfect sense to ensure the 'client' has zero access to the location where the application was sent. Oh sure, I could fax them, but who sends a fax in this day and age??

At least CIC shows they are working on April applications. Then again, you never really know what the hell is going on, or whether the information posted on their site is reliable. I think we all know by now that we can't count on CIC, only ourselves, and only this forum. Really sad state...
