Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

Yeah and the thing is that anyone who has called for status on application and has application in Montreal was given same answer Eligibility being/under/ongoing review. That is so strange! There is definitely something amiss. I'm going to order GCMS notes this weekend. And I think everyone from Montreal should order them.

I am going to order my 2nd set in the first of week of September

from what i've heard montreal has a special economic unit (verification unit) where applications under 'review required' go to.

Yeah, I think this is true. I got my GCMS notes yesterday and my eligibility has been labelled 'Review Required'

Thank you for posting your observation. Was the visa office Montreal from the beginning ? Is there a way to find that from GCMS notes ?

 

[Pamolaji]

No, it was Ottawa, then Vegreville, then Montreal

 

[cansha]

No, it was Ottawa, then Vegreville, then Montreal

Thanks @Pamolaji ... Most of us have been in Montreal from Day 1.

 

[pathwaytofreedom]

No, it was Ottawa, then Vegreville, then Montreal

Thank you! Hope you see some progress in your application soon

My office was Montreal as well. AoR March 1. FSW-O from USA. It took me 100 days to get the PPR.

Thanks for the summary. I ordered my notes last week. For the last call with IRCC, the agent said "recommend review" or "eligibility review recommend", I am not sure which one it was now. Will know when I get the notes

 

[Arminder_1985]

Thanks for sharing the info @Arminder_1985. This is actually good to know that they do eligibility recommended pass. I think a big hurdle has been crossed for you and I hope they finish the other things soon too. It has been 1 month since notes were generated so it is possible that your file has moved after that. Hope the wait ends soon for all of us.

 

[Arminder_1985]

Called IRCC today and no update on my file :-( so they haven't touched it since 12th June

Oh no... I think Montreal doesn't believe in touching and completing files before 4 months at a minimum.

Hello Montreal Family!!

Another week is almost gone!! We have Friday to go and Friday generally sees a lot of PPR mails. Lets hope it comes for some of us.

Even if not, I guess many of us are US based so a long weekend is coming up. I hope all of you have big plans are going on vacation. This is a good time to reconnect with family and friends, travel or do anything which takes our mind off and recharges for the coming weeks.

Hope you all have a great labor day weekend and I will see you all on the other side of the weekend in brand new month of September.

And I'll leave you with one last thought for the weekend, which I (or may be all of us) had read somewhere in our childhood.

The night is darkest just before the dawn.

Got a good gift before long weekend. USCIS approved my H1 extension in just 1 day. Hopefully someday when we are least expecting it the PPR mail will hit our inbox. Have a great long weekend guys!
