Application sent : 4 jan
Acknowledgement letter received: 13 jan
Biometrics letter received: 3 feb
Biometrics Given: 4 feb
BRP : 22 feb
documents received: 28 feb (it took longer than usual because they initially mailed it out on 18 feb and for some reason it was returned to sender even though I was home to sign for it the whole time!)

Now I can finally exhale! :D

Good luck to everyone still waiting. Hoping for you all to have a speedy decision made on your applications!

Hi,

I applied on the 18th of Jan. Haven't received the Biometrics invitation yet..:( Should get it this week. A friend of mine applied on 15th, and got his Biometrics invitation last week Monday, 22nd. They're taking a little more time to process these days it seems.
