Well I called, and
it only took one call to get through.. Usually i get dropped by the system like a new born giraffe about 3-4 times before i get to the hold music.. and boy do they need more than 2 songs.. after about 10 minutes of waiting.. i got through to a “Paula”. She was quite polite and very helpful for once.. and didn’t even mind laughing at a joke.. that won me over :)
The questions I asked were bout the recieved by date on the site for spouse/common law partner class, it was being reported that July 7th was an incorrect date, but it IS fine. The second question I asked, was about the processing time, and let me tell you.. it was like waiting to hear if i had won the grand prize.. it IS 209 days from the received by date!
There were a few others about local CIC office refferals and if my application was in order, and to make sure that THEY weren’t waiting on us to send something to us..
But my happy day news is, roughly using 209 days from July 21st.. puts my application to being finished by the end of February!!!!
