If there is such a law, my lawyer and MP's asst. have never heard of it. The Minister said most cases are processed in under 12 months, but that's not currently the case for most embassies as anyone can see from looking at the latest published numbers from January.

It's great news, showing they are showing some mercy in allowing you to land in Canada several months after your medical has expired.

Care to say that in English so we can all know what you're saying, as several people have asked on multiple occasions?

Sohrab, have you forgotten your own words? Here was you after only 4 months of waiting. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t51197.0.html;msg835798#msg835798 "june 23, other than the fact that its my birthday, its 1 year exactly since the last time i saw my...

Hab recently said he's still waiting and is visiting his wife again in Lebanon soon. Htraboul is probably also still waiting, as he was here recently. As for the Bou's, they may or may not have received theirs, but the one thing that is for sure, is that they stopped posting here because of...

I see there's either an automatic filter that removes the word referring to what the World Wide Web is mostly used for, or there was an uptight moderator who censored it as offensive, but I find CIC's management under the Minister offensive. Yes, being optimistic is good, but not blindly...

The times are going up because they're so busy, right? A 27-year worker at Citizenship and Immigration Canada fired for spending 1/2 to 3/4 of his time surfing porn, claiming he didn't have enough work, was reinstated after a hearing...

It's 23kg unless the baggage agent waives the overweight fee as he was more than nice to do for me in November 2010, flying out of Amman's airport, but it resulted in the luggage falling apart from the extra weight in pulling it back home in the snow, so I would suggest not going over the limit.

It's about priorities. Our government decided to close some case processing centres this year with the reason of cost savings, yet announced on Friday $5.8 million for video game research. http://www.therecord.com/news/local/article/731557--a-game-changer Video games are more important to our...

An Iranian from the Damascus forum got a temporary resident visa from the Ankara office last month after waiting 17 months (3 months past the 80% waiting time) just by showing up in person with his wife and asking.

It's either a law or an immigration regulation. Yes, people may have been issued PPRs with an expired medical, but being let into Canada is another story. Definitely redo the medical if it's close to the time of expiry, as it could set you back a minimum of three weeks, otherwise.

Yes, I had to.

As still waiting said, consider carefully. If he applies from Canada, she can't leave until her application has been approved, and the total processing time is currently 19 months and there is no option to appeal. After some time, presumably applications from Iranians will be processed closer...

Hi everyone, They haven't made their quarterly update for the processing times yet, so it's an opportunity for anyone who's waited a full 14 months to send a case-specific inquiry to your embassy. https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=ankara...

I got word from my MP's office today that Amman's 80% processing time is now up to 15-17 months. Remember that this could go up even further, especially if a lot of processing isn't done before summer vacation. I'm convinced that we have to get media involved even more now. Nicholas Keung...

A good response to this article by the Immigration Reporter I've been in touch with: http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1166154--immigration-applicants-upset-at-ottawa-s-plan-to-wipe-out-backlog?bn=1 There wasn't much of a positive response to the November 2011 article about the lawsuit by...

Ankara, since they are processing the updates and applications now, and there was notification about sending emails to the new embassies.

I'm not usually one to advocate just waiting around, but in this case, I am, since they notified you within the 30 days, and it seems they are allowed to extend it for another 30 days, and you should hear from them by then, or earlier.

Hi Canada-Girl, I haven't heard of any applicant getting anything more than an automated response to their emails to the Amman embassy for the entire three months they've been in operation. My MP's office has had to go through the Minister's office twice to get a response from them.

Khalid, you raise some very important questions, and I have some of my own, like why did one guy from Iraq get his PR in only 7 months last year while most had to wait at least 10-11 months and many are still waiting since they've hardly done anything since the start of this year. I'm counting...
