I always got a reply within a week or 2...lets hope their telling the truth and no more delays!! Any one knows of any websites for the CAIPS notes...I google it but theres so many outdated websites.

No we take an appointment with the MP's office and they help us get updates. It has nothing to do with the embassy. However, they contact the officer in Beirut to get information without it affecting the processing times. The MP's office told me not to send any emails to the embassy because it...

To be honest I'm not too sure, but it doesn't hurt to try! What did the CAIPS notes provide you? I wanted to get them too, but a lot of people told me they are useless

You need someone in Canada who can ask the MP on your behalf but you have to give them permission by signing a form the MP's office. The MP is allowed to get an update on the file every 6 months without it affecting your processing time. They don't answer really specific questions, but they...

Sponsorship are actually taking longer than a year for Beirut...so waiting for your medical might be faster. They told me August for finalizing the file...so I think it means the visa with the medicals in May. What's your timeline so we can have a better perspective since your MP said you should...

They are doing everything by email.

Yes but you have to remember, we are only a very small portion of people who applied from Lebanon. There are people out there who are getting medicals who are not in this forum. I'm sure you will hear something soon!

I recently got an update from my MP. The Visa Officer in Beirut, told my MP that the 36 months we see on the CIC website does not reflect real times. He told her it depends on each officer and how much files they have and how fast they can study and finish a file. He also told her that the...

I think you should order your CAIPS notes too and hopefully it will provide you with more info as to why you haven't received your visa when others have. From what I understand from the MP I spoke to, each visa officer is assigned files, this is why theres a difference in processing times...

Guys, great news...I just spoke to a friend of mine in Lebanon who's brother applied to Quebec 3 months before my fiance. Well he got his medical in late January. By the way, this isn't a friend of a friend of a friend...it's my direct friend...so it's not a rumour! So it means the end is near!!!

I noticed in a different forum (2010 Quebec applicants from Damascus visa office) are now receiving their interview dates for May. I would think this suggests that we might hear good news regarding the medicals. Because if they are giving away CSQ wouldn't they want to finish processing...

Congrats!! But I think most of us are from the Beirut office now (previously Damascus). Hopefully soon we here good news like you did! Also, Moon, my MP sent a request yesterday for an update, but she mentioned that the respond time is slow from Beirut VO and will call me as soon as she knows...

It's actually published on the Human Resources and Skill Developmenent Canada. However, you may be right, it's not the official one. This list is updated every 5 years with the census.

This list is for the entire nation (NOC = National Occupationnal Classification). I don't know the exact link between immigration and this list, but from what I've read online, there is a link.

I think there's some truth in what you heard...because if someone's profession is no longer in demand then finding a job would be really hard and they would need to go on social assistance (that's the last thing the government wants). This isn't only for Quebec applicants. Here is the list of...

Hi Moon, No not yet. I think the update should come mid March. I will call and follow up with them...I just don't want to sound "too pushy" and annoy them...which will make them less reluctent to help out. I'm planning on calling maybe next week, that way I would have given them a chance to...

Congrats!! Can you please share your timeline with us?

I may be living in Canada and considered a Canadian...but I've been waiting 3 years for my fiance's immigration paper...so I do understand what you are going through...since I am going through it with him. It's not easy...I know. As far as the job market...it's true, people are being laid...
