I applied on July 09 and the status had been sitting at pending till this morning. I called the Canadian side and the lady very pleasant said the wait times are between 10 to 12 weeks these days. However she took my information to look at my application, she said to call back if i don't see a status change after 10 weeks. About 2 hours later, I got the notification email to book my appointment. wow really? lol... And the website for booking and changing appointments is a joke. I was on it for about 30 minutes and kept checking various centers. Within 30 minutes I had gone from appointments from as far back as November to my current one next week. I quickly confirmed my appointment for Niagara Falls whirlpool center for august 26th. Wow so yea that's my timeline right there. will be about 7 weeks exactly..maybe 8 when the card arrives. This was a new application. Cheers everyone!
