    That's incorrect. The pregnancy is past the first 12 weeks, so an x-Ray can be done with a lead belt. The risks are very small. If you however refuse the x-Ray, your application will be put on hold.

    I can't think of a single western country that allows non-citizens or non-permanent residents to vote. There is a reason why that is a rule, and depending on your attachment to the country you get additional privileges/benefits. This doesn't mean that you're a second-class resident and doesn't...

    I don't mean to be disrespectful here bbsos, but if you think that CIC, and at the same time Canadians, don't like immigrants, why would you be applying for permanent residency? Why choose a country that doesn't like you? Why not go somewhere else instead? I have been nothing but welcomed by...

    I don't have any links for you and I haven't received my COPR yet. But my understanding is that your COPR normally expires 1 year after your medicals were done. Can anyone who already landed confirm that?

    You're right. We're from the UK and have been waiting for over 13 months.

    If you're calling from Canada, the number is 18882422100 If you're calling from abroad, the number is +1 6139 444 000 Wait time varies. For us it was between 5 and 10 minutes.

    June 2014 - CEC applications

    Yesterday our 13 months passed. Called CIC and ended up hanging up on the first person we spoke to as she kept asking when our file was transferred to Ottawa, and saying that "things have changed" since we applied. Called again and spoke to a more reasonable guy. He was happy to immediately...

    June 2014 - CEC applications

    I'm not sure if this is the correct answer, but there are supposed to be differences if you apply in or outside Canada. If you apply from outside Canada, the interview comes before medicals. If you apply from within Canada, the interview should come after medicals. But I don't know if CIC...

    It's only one person so far. Hopefully she's an exception. Remember, a few of June guys got their PR much earlier while the rest of us are still waiting.

    Thanks to everyone that answered my question. I wouldn't be surprised if the CIC process is automated and our files are not looked at until the due date comes. cecjun3, I guess we might might know if CIC are following these due dates based on you. If they do, your status should change by...

    Hello guys, For those of you have applied for GCMS notes, has your due date passed or is it upcoming? Just wondering if that due date has any significance at all.... Hoping this week will be lucky at least for some of us :)

    June 2014 - CEC applications

    When I had my medical done I had a discussion about what would happen if I was pregnant. She said that it's the patient's choice what they want to do. As a medical practitioner she wouldn't recommend doing an x-ray in the first 12 weeks, but felt that after that, provided you wear the lead belt...

    I also called today and got the confirmation that the waiting time starts from the day the application is received, not from the date of AOR.

    June 2014 - CEC applications

    Do you guys know any journalists from national media? This is probably the quickest route we could get some answers or someone looking at our applications. Otherwise, by the time our applications reach 13 months they will change the waiting time to 15 months.

    June 2014 - CEC applications

    That's my exact worry. The next quarter will be probably updated on 1 July, and if the timescale increases, none of us June applicants will be able to get any info over the phone.

    Thanks Kothem! And how about the online status? Should I also expect to see the 3rd line about the application started being processed and then the 4th line saying that the decision has been made?
