I am over the moon with excitement :dance: I just got the good news that we were approved without an RFE after 6.5 months. The service request was only filed a week ago Friday. I was on break from training class when I saw the text--couldn't concentrate much during the rest of class. They are *not* processing 11 September, they just say they are.

Does anyone know what interview dates they are currently scheduling in Vancouver?

Good luck to the rest of you who are waiting and who have been so supportive. Hopefully you will get your turn soon. There really is reason to hope!

I know they work the 30 day bucket...but at which time do they update the start date? Only 30 days after they set it? That philosophy just prevents us from filing service requests we may qualify for. I think I got lucky with the operator I got or I wouldn't have gotten one.

We have work ahead with packet 3 & 4 and this approval gives me hope that the rest of the process won't take another 6.5 months. Especially since I hear Vancouver is faster than Montreal. :dance:

Happy for you, Im feeling hopeless. I filed a service request today. Its just seems like a wait that will never be over. 6+months is a long time to wait. We all know the process its stressful and then when the next step comes I hope I get everything right and everything goes easier. COngratulations to you...I see there must be hope.

Im going to go pamper myself so I dont get down and depressed

Good Day folks
