I also heard you troll online and your wife owns a fingerprint company and your not a lawyer I dead my research on you lol

@Jack tripper 187

You said you "had been waiting 367 days". So I said "maybe they are going to deny you"

But it turns out, you were wrong. You are going to be 367 days on February 10th. Is it February 10th? NO.

Therefore, on February 10th, my advice stands, but as you stated, its a simple waiver. Therefore, I am 90% sure you will have it before February 10th.

I think you would agree, bad information makes it hard to give accurate information. Now please, BEFORE you reply, READ the thread.

@J Rogers makes no sense u just said I was about to get denied now your saying something else

@Jack tripper 185

"It clearly says 12 months". They are not taking 12 months, they are taking about 11 months for FIRST TIME APPLICANTS ONLY. Re-applications are taking 92 days as of the last waiver i posted. So the website is wrong in BOTH counts. Its been saying "12 months" since April 2024. Even when it was 14-15 months.

I am posting ACTUAL data, not "what the website says" that is going to have said the same thing for the last 20 months. Obviously its inaccurate.

If the website hasn't been changed in over a year, that's a pretty good indication that is is a "guestimate" that isn't being updated.

@Jack tripper 185

If its February 8, why are you claiming its 367 days? I CLEARLY said they are doing February's right now, and your claiming 367 days as of yesterday, which is completely inaccurate.

February 10 would be 367 days. I am posting ACCURATE information, but I can't advise people who are inaccurate.

Just hold on, you will get an answer soon, and try to be accurate please. Other people are reading this thinking you are giving accurate information.

@J Rogers doubt it’s a denial it says clearly minimum 12 months also 1st applicant criminal charge of simple possession from 15 years ago applied February 8 2025 that’s it simple case no other criminal history before or after

@Jack tripper

If you are 367 days since your "Submitted to ARO" you might be getting a rejection letter, or maybe they are considering you for a September Letter.

What are your circumstances, I'll tell you which.

I know your a "first time applicant" , is it criminal? Or overstay/misrepresentation? Better you know whats coming.

The timelines are VERY important, BUT, there are always waivers that are slower. But there is a reason in most cases. For example your country of birth can also be a factor.

As for timelines, they are a guide. For example, Michael Jordan is 6'6". Therefore all men must be that tall? No. He is an exception.

@J Rogers nice I’m still 367 days in sitting here with nothing these timelines mean Jack

5 year waiver
Note it was not granted today, but on January 16th. Also he has had multiple 5 year waivers before.
For those that are new, he went to the border (submitted to ARO) on October 14th. The waiver took 92 days and that includes Christmas as well.

@Willbill stfu clown

You guys are saying all of this because you have never dealt with immigration.
This is how it works everywhere.
In Canada, the immigration process is even worse.
Unfortunately, this is how it works it’s never first come, first served. It depends on each case and on your background history, which can take forever for an officer to clear. Based on his timeline its an estimate how much your process is going to take and also if its close for you to have an update

If you look a Canadian immigration forum this is exactly the same way
If you applied on a certain date another person also applied on that date you If that person gets an updated you could also have yours at the same time its based on backlogs but you don't understand and feel entitle to judge someone jobs

I see it too it’s not fake timelines it’s just any timelines don’t matter everyone’s case is different

@Garret Bridges same situation ima February too heard nothing I agree with what you said I think it’s officers disrection but don’t listen to anyone’s timelines cus realistically nobody knows when it’s going to come the ARO works at there own pace can’t speed them up and they won’t give you updates it’s kind of a jackass move of anyone here to guranteee any timelines even if you both applied on the same day doesn’t mean the same officer will look at it at the same time it’s all case based and whenever they get to it so you could be waiting 12- 18 months as I’m on the same boat so just sit and wait there’s nothing you can do this is hands down the most slowest and dumb process I ever been thru in my life I HATE IT

@Garret Bridges similar situation waiting 13 months nothing shits stupid at this point any timeline given makes no difference it’s gonna come when it comes officers direction I guess I hate the process

Hey man this is my first time on this thread I went back some pages and looked at all the info on timelines and I’ve noticed you’ve said your on February’s my own situation 1st time applicant I applied Feb 11 2025 at the border I’ve heard nothing no updates anywhere I see 11-12 month mark I’m on the 12month and seen shit all pretty depressing to say the least just wondering anyone’s timelines for that .

@Woah fake timelines

@J Rogers
Does that mean renewal application shall be done prior to waiver expiry otherwise the application will be treated as new (that may take 11 months instead of 3 months)?

Yes. I let my last waiver lapse by accident. So guess it was consider completely new.

@ABIZ

Was there a gap? In between applications? Your application was in the "new apps line" from the look of the date. But if its your third the only reason I can think is that your waiver had expired a while ago. Please let us know.
