Thank you Sakamath, all the best to you also. And to everyone else. We were waiting patiently for more than 4 years. I hope that I`ll pass the examinations. Mailing address is my own, not sponsor`s.

My initial application was on 15 April 2008. On 28 Nov 2011 request for additional documents. On 21 Dec 2011 additional documents received in Mississauga. On 7 Feb 2012 my file was transferred to Vienna. On 3 April 2012 I got an acknowledgement e-mail from Vienna. And today I got the letter...

Today I received a request for medical examinations. I think I am the first one on this forum with request for medicals from local visa office. By mail, regular.

Yes, that`s correct.

In email which I received was written that processing time is 9-19 months, average processing time is 21 months for this local visa office on the official web. I was waiting almost 2 months for acknowledgement email. Average time for receiving AOR from this local visa office is a month. But it...

In my opinion it have to be soon because otherwise it will be not normal. 2009 applicants are sending additional documents to Mississauga and if they got Ottawa does it mean that they will be in front of 2008 applicants? Good luck to you and all of us! :)

After sponsorship was approved and decision made by Mississauga my file was transferred to local visa office on 7 Feb 2012, I got acknowledgement e-mail on 3 Apr 2012 from local visa office and yesterday my status was changed to in process. Before it was only application received, for the second...

Congratulations! Yesterday my online status changed: IN PROCESS. Hope it will be short time for med and PCC. Has the status to anyone else whose file was transferred to local visa office changed from application received to in process?

Sibnadian, congrats for good news. Something is moving somehow by cic. ;) May be we`ll get, somehow, visas.

Feri, 9-19 months duration for processing applications. But after the confirmation letter time starts to count. These previous two months were lost for nothing. And little hope gives me the number of applications on December 31, 16, waiting decision, and the projected figure is 70 for this year...

I just got the acknowledgement e-mail from local visa office.

I don`t see either, using file number.

CIC started sending the request for additional material to sponsors who submitted applications after Feb 2009. http://www.facebook.com/sponsorourparents What`s going on?!

Sakamath please explain to me, still confused about this FOSS and CAIPS. FOSS – for in Canada - first stage of the application is in Canada, I want to see what is in it. Isn`t it the right form to get the information for the first step, sponsorship approval? To see the reason why it was...

My file was transferred to Vienna after the decision made and I am wondering what I should request – just FOSS, just CAIPS or both?! Can I request both at the same time?!

Thank you Shuga. :)

Shuga, Can one request both FOSS and CAIPS at the same time or does it have to be two separate requests? Re: the consent of the parent...Is it a special application form or just a regular piece of paper that includes the date and the signature?

I don`t think so aider, our file is the one of them, all, 2, children in Canada, only mom applicant, the file transferred to local visa office. No criteria, just lucky to get an officer in a good mood - your file is in Ottawa. More and more I think so, it depends of the officer and his mood in...

We`ll see in April, when CIC will issue 2011Q4, a report for the fourth quarter of 2011, then, maybe, we'll have some more specific information about the timeframe for applications that were forwarded to local visa offices. Mentioned different criteria that we thought were factors in determining...
