@J Rogers just to confirm, the fee increase on April 1, 2024 is from $585.00 USD to $1,100.00 USD?

@TomTom I got submitted July 4th, still waiting.

Where are you guys finding your status
history? In the e-safe mine only says

july 4 2023 submitted to ARO

Everyone else’s has the 3 lines under it.

@Gord this is crazy!!!! I'm hearing now 8-12 months wait time. I'm now 7 month waiting and still no feed back.
i"m hearing that they are low staffed, and the migrents coming over the mexican boarder is keeping them occupied.
hope and pray to get it soon. TomTom

@TomTom it’s crazy! Before Covid it was 3 months on the American side! Mine took 18 months on the Canadian side because of Barrie courts. Montreal came in after 3 months. It rediculous! Let hope things get moving along again. I’ve been waiting almost 26 months for this process to finish. I was told 7 months when I started! lol what a joke.

@Gord if u submitted on July 4 thats the day u count from

This was my 2nd Waiver. This and my first one were granted for 5 year terms.

@JibberDan considering they are approving pasts that date it’s possible it’s gone to a supervisor

@Samson36478589888 Yeah my lawyer said 90 percent of his clients have been waiting 10 months so far

since he applied i don't have the e-safe

1. to go lok into the case.. ARO said i could look anytime but with this

@J Rogers - in your experience, are there generally more applicants during summer months? I see in your posts about a 7 month timeline for approvals but wondering if this might pick up once the summer applications are completed?

Also do they only process 1 day at a time or can they process multiple days depending on the amount of daily applications?

@J Rogers I’ve been waiting for over 8 months now with a lawyer. The process is too long. It won’t make a difference with a lawyer or not

@Samkman yea and they increasing the fee and service isn't going to get faster lol
