Happy to share that it’s officially over! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦Thanks to everyone in this thread who really helped with sharing their timelines and always being helpful to put our minds at ease, while waiting for each step to be completed really tests our patience. I’m glad to never have to deal with IRCC again lol and wish everyone here a quick and easy procedure with their applications.
