Hey All - today I got a pile of correspondence from Mexico City:
1. A very frustrating demand that medicals are done within 30 days - when we have already asked (and received) an extension to August 30th - THREE times now. It gets granted and revoked almost weekly, it seems
2. AOR2
3. Ask for updated ancedentes penales (which we had already obtained, thank God). New rule - you didn't use to have to translate the updated ancedentes, but now you do.
4. Asked us to pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee. I already did that, so freaked out that they lost my money and sent them the receipt again with the application number and all details written on it.
5. Here is a new one: A new form of military record that both my husband and stepson have to fill out. It goes into EXTENSIVE detail - asking about the name of the commanding officer, THEIR commanding officer etc. My husband served over 25 years ago so he doesn't remember a damn thing about names (understandable). They also asked for IDENTIFICATION CARDS for military service - which neither my husband had, nor my stepson currently has in the service. ?????

There is also a note that no one can ask for file notes until at least 12 months has passed. I asked for ours about a month ago, so I think I just lost $5. Interesting that the response came from the Mexican Office.

I guess the good news is that someone is looking at our file. The bad news is that there are some things on the list that we can't do even if we wanted to (like find the name of Carlos's commanding officers, 25 years ago in a different province). We'll see. It is an unusual request as Carlos never did anything more than the mandatory service.

My MP have sent me two completely different responses to questions. One week Havana files that are at their year end etc will stay in Havana. Now this week I was told they are going to Mexico. Nobody has answers. I have asked several times how visas will
Be issued and the agents, Immigration Minister office, my MP office avoids the questions. Files that are newer that remained in Canada ( some) have emails stating they are in Mexico. But the files are there year end and over now going into 14 month have no information to go on. How are new files getting movement and files past the year getting nothing? If anyone has updates on Havana files please keep
Us all posted.

When you want to communicate with the Mexican office, use this email:
MXICOIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca

You must put your File number, Principle Applicant details (DOB, UCI etc) and state your question or query succinctly. The other option is to use the IRCC webform. Hope that helps.

Just an FYI mecuban1982, I have emailed them three times since May with all the info (UCI, Application #, name, DOB etc) and there has been no response. Including all the pertinent information does not necessarily mean you will hear something back. It's a bummer.

Hello!!! Does anyone from May 2018 has received any email from Mexico to let them know their file is already there? I am asking because my wife just told me that someone from the end of May 2018 received an email today letting her know about it.

Well third update by my MP states that my file would be sent to Mexico but a bit of a delay, due to Havana closed. Now today a fourth reply stated the minimum processing for family sponship is 20 months. I
Had to clearly send him the correct Average time of 12 months. He said he was speaking to an agent in canada. Our MP’s are not told anymore info than what
Is on our notes or if we call ourselves. Clearly it is useless to deal with our MP it is a waste of time. When I called him out in the average time frame of processing he did not acknowledge. It is just a waiting game.

I was told by MP's office that my file was first transferred to Canada and then to Mexico...but no email saying my file has been transferred to Mexico. I agree with you stephtigger....the MPs are told things by IRCC, but they don't know enough to question IRCC. There is a lot of misinformation out there.

Don’t despair guys - Ahmed Hussen’s office told me back in May my file was in DF and I got the IRCC confirmation that it had been forwarded on June 3.
