November applicants are getting MRs pouring in now. Any guess as to when we'll be next off the rank? 2 weeks? 4 weeks? 6 weeks? Can't wait to get some more communication from CIC!

My lawyer emailed me today saying that my bridging visa arrived today and I can pick it up any time. It might sound like a dumb question, but is there anything required after I pick it up? Ie is it a document that needs to be stapled in my passport, or anything else I need to so, or that's it...

P.S. congrats to all receiving their MRs this week. One more step down!

I had my application worked on my a consultant, and they suggested that if you get a request for MR, then it's pretty much a sure sign that your application will be fully accepted. Would anyone else say this is safe to assume? Obviously it will depend on your personal health and if you pass the...

Thanks for the info!

I'm actually in a pretty similar situation right now. My file was submitted on the 28th of March, and my current visa expires on the 28th of May. I'm stressing out big time! I submitted my application via mail, not online. Everything takes so damn long with every step of the way. I'm hoping my...

Looks like things are staring to happen for the November Applicants now, more communication with the CIC and notifications etc. Here's hoping December isn't TOO far away now. Any bets as to when people are going to start receiving MR's for December?

Is there any way of viewing the final figures and caps for the last round before they reset it? Im a Dec 2013 applicant, so I was able to see where they were up to before, but now I have no idea how many are accepted in my NOC anymore.

So in regards to this, does it mean that the count has now reset? Last time I looked, it was about 6200/12000 of the cap reached. Does that mean that they didn't fill the maximum amount of applicants before they changed the cap size today? This would be a good thing for people who applied...

What tests specifically do they perform in the medical? I don't have any heath issues, but I was just curious to know exactly. Does doing upfront medicals speed up the process at all?

I'm sure there is a post about this already and most people are aware of it, but the cap has been reduced from 12,000 to 8,000 as of May 1. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/applications-accepted.asp

Oh... of course, I should I known that. Thanks! I submitted a federal police check from my own country (Australia) and also finger prints from Canada (since I've been living here for 2 years) with my PR application. So after AOR, will there be an additional police check required from RCMP or...

I'm still learning all of the abbreviations. What does RCMP stand for?

That does clear a lot of it up for me. It's not the most ideal way to go, but it looks like it can be done of you have enough supporting evidence from your employers stating hours worked, rate of pay etc. Obviously T4 is more desired though... Anyone else gone through the system being a...

That sounds more in line with what I have heard/read lately. Its so common in today's work situation that people are self employed or on constantly changing freelance contracts, and it seems to not be specific to any particular industry anymore. It's promising to hear that there is allowance for...

I was just curious to see if anyone out there had submitted an application without having a T4? I know when someone works freelance or contract base, even if they work the equivalent of full-time hours for 12 months, and meet the requirements of the CEC, they will not receive an actual T4 slip...

That's great info. Thanks very much.

Thanks for your help! Sorry about my ignorance, I'm still learning all of the abbreviations mentioned in this forum... RPRF stands for?

That's actually not too far away! So that is literally the next step? We will receive notification to get a medical? I was thinking we might not hear anything until close to Christmas, since it said processing times can take up at 13 months etc. This is good news! I was told somewhere that if...

Hey guys, So I filed my Application on Dec 17, received my AOR around the same time as everyone else. I am just wondering what the next step will be and when December applications should (roughly) begin to start getting notified of the next stage? I realize I'm a little early, just wanted to...
