    Case Specific Enquiries

    Scylla is absolutely correct that the current processing times would be what you are looking at for case processing. However, in my case, my original letter said 36 - 48 months (federal entrepreneur - POS Trinidad sept 2007), when the 48 months passed I did a case specific enquiry and did get a...

    Federal Entrepreneur Applicants

    Thanks PMM... That figure represents the number of persons (visas) processed so it was in fact only 4 cases (each case may have more than one person such as spouses and dependents etc). However by using that I can at least see the processing times on those applications. When I checked that...

    Federal Entrepreneur Applicants

    LOL.... My visa office is listed in my profile.... Port of Spain Trinidad. CIC's website does not show any processing times for this class in POS because they are not processing enough applications. According to Open Data reports they only finalized 2 cases last year.

    Federal Entrepreneur Applicants

    I was wondering if there were any Federal Entrepreneur applicants out there that can give an update on their application.... especially anyone who has recently had their application processed... just to give the rest of us an idea of how long their application took to process. I applied in Sept...

    PAFSO Union Strike

    This is insanity!! I really do empathise with PAFSO... There has to be a meeting of minds in this matter as Canada's reputation continues to be adversely affected by the ongoing action. There are always three sides to a story but the Treasury Board's action seems to be in keeping with the...

    Lubs 64, at least that is a step towards ending this ongoing strike.

    PPR with prepaid air-waybill in Colombia

    I would suggest that you email CIC urgently explaining your issue and requesting an alternative method. For the benefit of the members on this forum, could you please give some details about your case, in particular the class that you applied under and the timelines. It would be of great...

    PAFSO Union Strike

    That was excellent advice Lubs64. I sent them an email, lets see if I get a response. I guess there has not been any developments on your side either?

    PAFSO Union Strike

    I have been trying to find a listing of all the Visa processing posts that are directly affected by the PAFSO strike. It has been reported that a total of 12 posts are affected but I cant seem to find a listing anywhere. I would like to find out if Port of Spain Trinidad is one of those...

    Document need to send

    nabil2009, I would be a bit worried in your situation, CIC is very specific about submitting your documents within the allocated time and from what is being reported on this forum and others, it seems that CIC is looking for any reason to reject older applications. That being said, to me you...

    processing time for self employed application

    Linda2004 When CIC says they will make the application system a "responsive system" by 2014 unfortunately I believe they are speaking about new applications. I don't believe that this will have much impact on cases like rockkhan's or my own which has been in process since Sept 2007 (almost 6 years).

    for Federal investor processing Time....

    ayanab7, I asked this same question in another post earlier this year and was told that the processing time would be from the date that they received your simplified application. However, I don't think that 54 months is realistic in your case if they have not requested your documents as yet. I...

    FOR FEDERAL INVESTOR CATEGORY APPLICANTS .....

    @Leo12, My understanding is that they only show average processing times when the VO has processed more than 10 applications (in that category) for the period. Once the VO does not process more than 10 applications it will show - . My case is through Port of Spain visa office and it has...

    documents requested

    loisneece, Your medicals are valid for a period of one year and you must land in Canada before your medicals expire. From reading other posts on this forum and others, it looks like it can take 3 - 6 months to get your passport request.. Congratulations on getting your Medical & RPRF... it...

    documents requested

    Linda2004, The first thing you should understand is that the ECAS information is really somewhat useless. If nothing else it at least puts your mind at ease that they have your application. Secondly you did not indicate when your application was submitted and under what category you applied...

    ECAS

    Mine has said in Process since November 2007 (almost 6 years now).... that's why I had said earlier the information on ECAS was useless. I was just concerned why I could not see it any more. It is strange though that up to late last year I was able to check it with my application file number...

    ECAS

    Update, I just tried checking it using my UCI number instead of my application number ( I saw that on a post on another forum) and it worked. Of course it still does not say anything more than "In Process" and the date the application was received.

    ECAS

    Hey Lubs64, I sent them an email on Wednesday of last week but of course they have not replied to date. I checked their website earlier and it still has not been fixed.. This is the 3rd time that I am reporting it to them but I really don't think that it makes a difference. I suspect that...
