Obtaining an ITIN In Canada - Update

So I got a letter in the mail today, the return address was this:

And I thought: Yes! My ITIN # is finally here.

Only to open it and read that they are just processing my application, and returning my original documents. Big sigh.

So, the wait for the actual # goes on. But at least there is progress! And the fact that they are processing my application sounds like a good sign - right?
