    September 2012 Applications

    Most people told me not to do upfront medicals. They might accelerate your application processing by a few days but at a steep cost...$300+ And that money's gone if you're rejected. So on a cost/benefit scale, upfront medicals don't make much sense.

    Regarding the 12 month mark email (it's 12 not 13 anymore), this is their response: Don't waste time with the call centre. They got nothing.

    Any one else in review status

    He lives in Alberta, and it's not uncommon for companies to hire PRs or citizens. They can chalk it up to security concerns. I've been down that road...lost an opportunity with a very respectable oil and gas company because of that.

Every GCMS since then has been identical, so my file is sitting there somewhere...nothing we can do really. And there's plenty of us... Edit: Say, Esbex, your NOC suggests you're...

    Does gender of principal applicant affect processing time?

    Welcome to my world! Doesn't help that my country hasn't had a stable government in 3 years. Oh well...all these delays with my (and other people's) applications... I'm hedging my bets by tossing some grad school applications around. If I can't be here as a permanent resident, I'll stay here...

    Does gender of principal applicant affect processing time?

    Yeah, there are so many variables that affect processing times, I think it would be reckless to pigeonhole gender as the culprit. And that's without taking into account the fact that there's a strike going on lol

    There's a mass walkout today in Ottawa by PAFSO so there's probably no work being done right now.
