I think that's great news. The problem for all of us waiting is that our files haven't been touched since February/March. It sounds that there is movement on your file. Keep us posted!

So, John McCallum is the new Immigration Minister. Should we bombard him with emails about CEC? John.McCallum@parl.gc.ca https://www.facebook.com/McCallumj1 https://twitter.com/@johnmccallumlpc

Let's hope our applications are not put on hold. This is a quote from a CTV news story: "The new immigration minister will be tasked with meeting Trudeau’s commitment to bring 25,000 Syrian refuges to Canada in just eight weeks. Even human rights advocates have said that meeting Trudeau’s Jan...

Is your security screening complete? Have you ever requested notes?

No PR yet, just didn't add my name to the list. 23 June / AOR 8 Aug / Med req 13 Feb (from visa-exempt country)

Ha ha! Yes, it is! Priceless...

Thanks for the update. Hope they finalise everything quickly for you. And if that happens to me, I'll know what to do :)

Sorry to be negative, but thee same thing was done for us at the end of July. Since then nothing has happened.

That's weird. Maybe the email was sent in error? Get in touch with the Call Centre, maybe they'll be able to tell you more.

We got a letter, they don't send anything by email. Make sure you update us once you hear back from them.

You're from a visa-exempt country so you shouldn't be asked to send your passport. My understanding is that now you should be receiving your CoPR in the post. Congrats!

Follow the instructions on the bottom of this page: https://www.csis.gc.ca/scrtscrnng/index-en.php To save time, send a fax rather than a letter. We don't have access to fax so used a free online service hellofax.

After getting the letter, we emailed CIC and got the standard response back. The CIC Call Centre was making excuses and of course nowhere with them either. They say our file will be finalised by the end of October, but I don't believe it anymore.

We got in touch with CSIS. They still haven't received a request from CIC to screen us, even though CIC keeps saying that our security check is in progress.

If you're not in Canada, you're out of luck - you don't have a local MP as you don't reside there. We tried going to the local Canadian embassy/consulate but apparently they can't interfere once the file is in process.

We faxed the request on 14 September. The reply was mailed to us on 25 September, and we received it in post today (we're based in Europe). I think the official line is that it can take them up to 8 weeks to reply, but it took about 2. If only CIC was as efficient!

The last few times we called CIC we were told that our security was in progress and that it was the only outstanding thing. Well, we always thought it was an excuse. So we wrote to Canadian Security Intelligence Service (which deals with immigration screening) to find out what's going with our...

Thanks for bringing us all hope. Out of interest, do you have 3 or 5 lines?

Well, some of us can't stay in Canada and work. We have to wait for the PR to come back.

Has anyone called CIC since the 3rd line appeared with a 2014 date? What were you told?
