Here is the no-so-good news. Link is protected so I am pasting the excerpt. PAFSO President Tim Edwards said in a statement Monday that the government's appeal has brought the parties “no closer to a settlement,” and is simply wasting more time. According to a spokesperson for the Federal Court...

I just realised that the content is protected. The bit of bad news is below: PAFSO President Tim Edwards said in a statement Monday that the government’s appeal has brought the parties “no closer to a settlement,” and is simply wasting more time. According to a spokesperson for the Federal...

Here is the not-so-great news on the strike: http://www.ipolitics.ca/2013/09/16/feds-appeal-labour-board-ruling-upholding-pafso-complaint/

RIH are the initials of the case worker / person who sent email. CIC tends not to release full names of employees due to the fear of applicants tracking them down and threatening them if there is a negative decision!!

Good news buddy! Btw, what was the date of the email?

Sorry, I am on my phone. Trying to paste link below: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/story/2013/09/13/pol-public-foreign-service-workers.html

[size=10pt]Just seen some potentially great news. PAFSO has won the PSLRB ruling. I don't know what are the implications but it sounds good to me. Google it as this has happened over the last few hours. Good luck to all and happy waiting...[/size]

Don't really know. If CIC is kind, they may let it go at CIO stage and ask for updated forms at VO stage. You cannot really tell. Just think positive and remember: no news is good news...

Paris VO IS part of strike action. Any VO outside Canada is basically working slow/not working...

I have heard of London VO apps being transferred to Paris VO. However, this was not due to strike but more to do with workload. The only benefit you can have is if/when your file is transferred to CPP-O as they are not affected by strike action.

Sorry to hear and good luck with your plan B. Admin - could you pls correct the received date in the spreadsheet? It is 31 May as per this post. Perhaps this gives a bit of hope to other 27 May apps...

Haha, I love the "thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum". They clearly are telling people to bugger off until they contact the applicant.

It is NOT new that CIC do make mistakes and sometimes overlook the information provided. In any case, not having the travel form is already an incomplete app. I think handwritten BC is fine as long as it is genuine. Best for you to repackage your app with everything, fill the checklist properly...

Just a reminder to all. The sub-cap of 300 refers to applications that CIC will put into "process". In other words, they will issue 300 PERs. However, there may be some apps that get rejected at the VO level. Hence, there may NOT be 300 PRs issued per NOC. In a perfect world, CIC ought to go...

Pallavi - what's the update with your reference checks? Did CIC get in touch with your boss?

What date did your app reach CIO?

Congrats to idima, adrenalineforu, and others who received good news! Well done and let's get more of these PERs and CC charges...

Mate, I didn't mean to dismiss you. I am just trying to avoid you having false expectations at this stage. Yes, no one knows when cap got filled but it is very, very likely it happened at the end of May as suggested by our spreadsheet. Also, CIC will never email you when cap has been reached...

You are clearly within the cap. But million dollar question is whether your app was complete or not? Let's hope for the best...

Good luck buddy, we are with you!
