CANADA 2013 IEC MEGATHREAD

I have a s**tty feeling they are doing the applications in a last come first served fashion. The only people receiving their LOIs now are people who submitted a week after me..... congratulations to you guys.... but THIS SUCKS MAJOR TESTICLE.
Guess I'll take my own advice and go count the petals on some daisies. JustRoss I know you feel as much if not more like kicking a smurf in the goonies. We should start a new "Bi**hing" Thread.... where people can use foul language and abuse each other without needing to be sorry after.

A guy posted this in the "let it all out" thread......

"From what I understand everything that is sent to CIC is completely separate from the previous stage. Each case is assigned to a different agent. This means that some agents will work faster than others. The date you submitted and your WTN number makes very little difference to how fast you will be assessed.They don't put all the applications in one pile and go through them one by one, they are delegated to different agents. It's pure luck and simply depends on how many applications your agent has before you, and how fast the agent can get through them. Also note that they mention that it can take up to 8 weeks for them to process the whole thing. It has only been 4 weeks since the visa opened."

Hope this makes it easier on us waiters

I mentioned this in another thread, but as far as I can tell each application is sent to a different agent. How long you are waiting depends on how many applications your particular agent has before you, and also how fast they are to do their work.
So some people who submitted after you might get their visa before you imply because their agent is a more efficient worker.

Think about if you were in an office and had 500 applications to get through. Would you put all the applications in the centre of the room and have every agent go through them 1 by 1? Or would you give 50 different applications to 10 different agents? Then remember that some of those agents are going to work faster than others. Some agents are going to piss around on the internet and have coffee breaks while others are going to fly through their work. Happens everywhere!

Just be patient, we are only in week 4 of the 8 weeks they mentioned it would take in the first place! Just be patient!

Hi guys,

Just a query on the photo - I have taken our photos with my iphone, and uploaded them through the website http://www.idphoto4you.com/ as advised in previous threads. I selected 600pixels as the final image and all looks good, until I save it and then re-open the jpeg image. Naturally it opens a lot bigger than the passport photo size, but to a point it looks blurry!!

Was this the case with other peoples photos? Would I be better off using a digital camera to take the photo? Around the eyes too it was very dark, so am thinking maybe a normal camera photo might be better?

Digital camera will do the job, an iPhone has terrible quality pictures unless they're actually viewed on an iPhone. Why don't you call into a local Pharmacy and get some passport photos done, most pharmacies now do that.

JustRoss23

Yea i tryed to mess around with the iPhone but it gave out a bad picture imagine as waster said digital would be the best imho or if you wanted it done proper could call into your photographer i done that and got charged 10 euro for 4 pics:D

Hi I have submitted my application to cic and am still waiting on a reply. I just noticed however that in the english form of my conditional acceptance letter it only addresses me with my first and middle name, while the french version has my full name. Have looked through the other emails I have received from IEC and they also only refer to me by my first and middle name. So I am not sure if this is an error and am worried it might affect the second stage decision. Does anyone else have the same issue???
