username: yojimbo status: inprocess applied: july 2006 medicals sent: august 2007 - and still waiting for any sign of life from CIC. personal status: impatiently waiting. PS: by the way, what's the purpose of this?

Hey guys, As you may or may not know, my medicals were sent on August 2, 07 and I still haven´t got a reply or anything from CIC. Being the curious George that I am, today I went to the embassy and spoke to an (incredibly hot) immigration officer at the Cdn embassy in Vzla. She told me that...

It´s very, very unlikely you´ll get it that fast. Checke the CIC website for processing times. You can also check trackitt.com to get a better idea.

Do they go into detail with the funds, or you just show the traveller's cheques, and that's it?

You have to show proof of funds at the border when you immigrate, right? It's not my turn yet but... I have an apartment in Canada, and of course a mortgage too. Because I do my banking in Canada, I've been able to move around that mortgage to lower my interest rates. One of the moves included...

Does that mean that there are some? I thought that it was practically impossible to get a job offer from outside Canada, unless you were one of the fantastic 4 - meaning, having a unique skill which the employer is able to prove there are no Canadians around with the same abilities. Is that...

Good to know :) I got my fair dose of people telling me that it's normal... I'll post something as soon as I get anything from them :) thx

most of the people in here don't really care you were born and live in Iran now.... Also, many non-Iranians will help you with their opinions. So have a nice Iranian beer and relax a little...

It's just that I'm in a deciding moment here. Except for my family, most of my significant ties are in Canada (apartment, mortgage, bank accounts, credit cards/line/history, professional connections, friends, etc.). I'm sort of idling while I wait. And if I don't hear from them in the next 2...

Thanks Soj! I guess my impatience has ups and downs, sometimes making me look for any excuse to reach a conclusion and end the waiting, the suspense - at least in my mind... I assume it's the same with everyone. I also want to be able to plan for the future, quicker. But don't we all. And so...

My application is being processed there, anyone care to share experiences?

I been thinking (as it's the only thing I can do) that they haven't asked for the ROLF. Even though I'm approaching the 4th month of waiting time since the medicals were sent - still, no signs of application life. It is easy to see from everyone's posts that they ask for medicals and ROLF...

Aroyo, Any good/horror stories from your friends?

Yes, nice story indeed... good luck with your transition!

By *real job* I meant the work you did under the co-op visa had the same duties as described in the NOC you selected. For example, an entrepreneurial business, working as a contractor designing a webpage, etc, might be possible under a co-op visa but difficult to prove were a real contribution...

When I was in university, as an international student, a CIC officer came to speak on immigrating to Canada and that question came up, a lot. The officer didn't say Co-op wouldn't count, but he wasn't clear that it would count either. We kept asking different scenarios and he kept saying " if...

why Tuesday?

Well, I haven't read or heard of any experiences similar to this situation; and I don't know any 'inside' information. But considering the requirement to send your current visa, I assumed that you had to have a valid visa for your country of residence. So, that was only my assumption - perhaps...

If you apply from the U.S. that means that you plan to apply through Buffalo, right? If it's the case that your applying for permanent resident as a skilled worker, you can check out the check list for the requiered documents. #4.2 goes like this: If you live in a country different from your...

My god... 56 months...
