Omeirk, I am a resident Pakistani and a muslim. Having never lived in Canada, Canadian government gave me and my family PR in 7 months.They are not discriminatory. I think quite frankly, our muslim brothers in Gulf countries are discriminatory. I had lived in UAE for 13 years with no hope of...

Your points add up to the required level. Now the CIO has passed on your file for finalization by visa office. They will go through your documents in greater detail and if all looks in order then they will send you medical request and ask you to pay RPRF. Remember, at this stage they may carry...

I have lived in the States and it is a nice country. I am sure Canada is a nice place too and from what I can recall from my sole visit there it was a politer place starting with the very polite Canadian border staff. I am currently research Canadian cost of living as I intend to land there in...

Well it took 3 weeks in my case but the norm seems to be 2 weeks before CHC Islamabad VO generally returns the passports with visa and COPR.

When my application was at the stage of issuance of PPR, London VO asked my spouse to withdraw his FSW application. After sending his withdrawal request, it took 2 weeks before his ecas status changed from 'IN PROCESS' to 'WITHDRAWN'

Congratulations Devilhimself!

Dear Docpak, I think you should wait before sending VO an email. I have observed that VO does take 2-3 months after medical is done before sending PPR email. In your case it has been less than 2 months. I would think that by middle of December you should get your PPR email. On the plus side...

Ali222, If 'Medical received' line has not been added to your Ecas and you are post June applicant then I suggest that you email VO. I say this because sometimes VO does not receive the medical report from DMP and also because I under went medical on August 16 and had PPR 2 request on Nov 7...

Fareeha, I sent my family passports on November 10 and got them back on 1 December. On the average you should expect to get them back within 2-3 weeks. Regards, Dr Who

Docpak, The thing to keep in perspective is that it will be just a month to 6 weeks before your visa is issued. So enjoy the lovely season. God willing you will get PPR 1 within 7 days. Good Luck!

Thank you ss1886 & Docpk In my case the address did not disappear before receiving PPR 1. It did disappear a day before PPR 2 email.

Dear MBKP & fareeha, Let me share with you that I just got the passports & COPRs back from Islamabad High Commission delivered to my home by TCS on COD basis. I was not called by TCS to pick up passports from their Karachi office. Good Luck!

Usually London VO sends MR clubbed with RPRF but they ask for passports later on. Sometimes during MR+RPRF request they will also ask for updated PCC, updated immigration forms or updated POF. Good Luck!

Very well written Ovais. You really put the Canadian immigration in the right perspective for me. AAL1984, I think you are right in recognizing that FSW immigrants know that it is going to be tough for them but they also know that sacrifice on their part is required to get their children to...

Sam786 Logically, it would seem that your family including your Indian citizen wife will have their passports stamped in Islamabad. This would be like if an Indian or a Pakistani was resident in let say USA then their PR visa would have been stamped in USA and not in their country of...

My case was in RBVO stage for about 30 days and in-process stage for about 2 working days before MR letter was issued. It seems to me that London VO must have done verification of my documents during RBVO stage, unlikely that this was done during 2 days of being in-process. I am post June applicant.

I think most rejections of cases are done in RBVO stage. Once you are in-process then only if you have fake docs, or health issues or criminal/security risk then rejection is made.

Hi Coming_to_Canada, Let me shed some light on what telephone number does TCS call you on. First remember the 2 self-address labels that you submitted when you sent the application to CIO? One of this label will be on the MR packet and TCS will call the telephone number that was on this label...

Hi Devilhimself, I am FSW1 NOC 3112 - London VO. My timelines are as follows. Application received by CIO in 2nd week of April 2011. PER in week 2 of May RVBO in 2 week of June In-Process in week 2 of July MR + RPRF etc in 3 week of July Medical done in 3 week of August Medical recived by VO...

I lived in Chicago for 4 years when I was in University. I worked outdoor during winters, Chicago is pretty cold place almost like Toronto. I was young then but still here are my tips. 1. Wear a cap which can also cover the ears. 2. Thermal under-clothing is very effective to keep you warm. 3...
