For some time now my application status has not been available on ECAS. The last time I communicated with CIC (about 3 months ago) I mentioned it in the correspondence but nothing happened. They replied to the other questions in the email but not about the ECAS. I realise that the ECAS...

Well said Lubs64.... Immigrating is not an easy move regardless of which country you are leaving from or what your circumstances are in your home country. It is a decision that you need to make carefully and you must explore all aspects of the country that you plan to immigrate to.... taxes...

There is a newly launched Entrepreneur Start Up Visa program where you can submit your business plan to a list of venture capital / angel investors and if they agree to fund your business start up, you can get a permanent resident visa in a relatively short time frame. The idea is to match...

Tony88 is right that the system is untenable, however I think there are three side to every story (mine, yours, and somewhere in between is the truth) and we are all quick to jump on CIC.. what about the thousands who continue to abuse the immigration system though? are'nt they in some way to...

Though my application was NOT filed through London, maybe my information may help: I applied Fed. Entr in Sept 2007 in POS Trinidad. My AOR said 36 - 48 months processing After 48 months (Sept 2011) I contacted the VO for an update. They requested all of my bank statements, updated business...

Going through the Open Data reports in more detail I have come up with the following analysis: Number of cases O/S as at Oct 2012 = 40 (Fed Entr. POS) Cases Received since 4th QTR 2007 (When I applied) = 33 Avg # of cases processed annually = ranging between 4, 6 & 8 If my analysis is correct...

I do not think that your age is locked in at 21, I believe they will look at your age when they are finalizing the application. There is another post by alina2 that you may want to look at as that person has a similar problem to you and others have offered advice there. Again I suggest maybe...

From what you have described I assume that your father had you listed as a dependant on his application. I dont see why you cannot apply for a work permit with a Job Offer in hand. What I suspect will happen at that stage is that you will no longer be considered a dependant on your father's...

Sarabai is absolutely correct.... I am a living example of that problem. I applied for Federal Entrepreneur in 2007. My AOR said processing in 3 - 4 years so I began running my successful business with that time frame in mind as my goal was to sell my business when it was time to immigrate...

Yeah Lubs64, there truly is little encouragement no matter which way you turn. I am hoping that PMM or one of the other more experienced guys can add their input, firstly to confirm if the information and interpretation provided by the person on the other forum is reliable and worth basing any...

Got this from another forum.. thought it may be of interest to others: According to data.gc.ca, the total number of of entrepreneur files as of October 6th was 2,501, of which 42 were in PoS. In the third quarter of 2012, CIC finalized 57 entrepreneur files while PoS finalized none. The...

I was looking at some Open Data reports and found where 80% of applications under my category (Federal Entrepreneur) in Port of Spain were completed in 84 months (most recent report as at Oct 2012). On CIC's website they say that the processing times are calculated from the date they receive a...

From what you are describing, the properties are held jointly between your brother and yourself. I believe the only way they will take the full value of properties that are held in two persons names is if the other person is your spouse. That being the case, they will probably only acknowledge...

I contacted my VO in Port of Spain Trinidad requesting an update on my application (Federal Entrepreneur) based on the fact that I had submitted some requested documents to them in August 2012 and have not heard anything since, not even a confirmation of receipt of these additional documents...

Happy new year to all. After submitting all of my documents in March 2012, and then an additional set of documents that they requested was submitted in August 2012, I have not heard anything from the VO since. In their last request for the additional documents they ended by saying that when...

Medicals are only valid for one year and you must land in Canada before the medicals expire, therefore I would think that you should be hearing something from them very soon. Only after you land in Canada can you apply for your Permanent Resident Card and that is supposed to take 8 - 12 weeks...

Excellent news Rock Khan... Congratulations. Please keep up posted with the rest of the process, how long it takes to get the meds done and when you get your final request for passports etc.

Just received an updated GCMS notes and was hoping for some help in understanding a few things: 1. The Due Date that is listed is still saying June 2012 even though the file was updated in October 2012 2. I can see in the notes section where they have received my documents (business returns...

For any of the experts, I would appreciate if you could give an idea of what I should expect next in the application process (federal entrepreneur). My history has been as follows: 1. Applied using simplified application in Sept 2007 2. AOR received October 2007 3. Documents requested...

That's kind of what I was thinking Rock Khan.... Thanks for the advice..
