    Pre arrival letter and decision made

    May I ask what additional document was asked of you after you received a pre-arrival letter? I've seen in your timeline that you already passed medical before the pre-arrival letter, so I was just wondering what did they asked for you to submit? Thanks!

    Oh yeah, I can still feel your frustration of just wanting to know what's happening, but they would not tell you. :) But yeah, if they said it was a legitimate DM, then at least you knew. haha. I don't want to assume as well, but they asked for Medical right after pre-arrival, so that must have...

    Got it. Thank you. So the DM in ECAS does not have a date same as like the Line 2 that says when they started processing the application? But I was also wondering why you don't have a PPR yet, if you already have DM in ECAS. I was thinking your GCKEY statuses should have been updated already...

    I understand the anxiety :) Additionally, you'll get the same "Application/Profile updated" status, say once you submitted your medical and it was passed already. And yes, just be happy about those small updates and hope for the best, soon.

    Yes, it is a ghost update. Usually this happens when an officer updates or checks your file. Usually a good sign that at least somebody is working on your file.

    Good news! Does it have any update or change in status in GCKEY? or in ECA's maybe? or you just received the letters in email?

    If you can go to your local visa office (since you said you went there), and they would accept your passport, and would be willing to process the visa stamping, then that resolves the issue. Your passport would not get lost, since you don't have to send it by mail. What's important in this...

    I don't think you should send to VO New York, if your local VO is there in PH. But, it's best you contact VO in New York, to let them know that you will instead send your passport to your local VO, of course explaining your circumstance and why. I don't think there would be an issue, as you...

    Just a thought. Is this ongoing Canada Election would have an effect on the processing of sponsorships or immigration as a whole? What if there’s a change in government from the Liberals to Conservative or the NDP? Would processing be affected or paused due to changes in policies? I was just...

    It seems to me your concern is with the DNA test lab provider. Why did you wait for a year though, do you mean to say the lab was closed from Aug 2020 until now? It could be, but you should have sent a message (thru webform) to IRCC about the circumstance, like say after 1-3 months or so, so...

    Our team here already said that you can send a webform to ask for an extension. You can also read previous conversations in these same forum that would tell you to do the same. I also believe it would not be an issue if it would be beyond the 30 days as prescribed, since IRCC understands the...

    As I stated on the previous message, use the ECA to check for status of SA. Use the application number, instead of the UCI as a reference, and use the details of the sponsor instead of the PA. That should give you a status of the SA as well as the PA.

    "Added" you mean is merely reporting or updating your status as married, in your passport renewal application. That should not be an issue, if you are just renewing your passport. Your wife's name will not appear or be "added" in your passport, as it it is your own passport, and in this case...
