    CEC Processing times for applications from within Canada

    It really depends on cases (nationality, personal history) + things happening within CIC. I'd say, on average, you should get by 9th or 10th month from your application date. I wouldn't plan anything important assuming I'll get PR it within 7 months.

    Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

    Mine didn't get activated today as well :( Should I send CIC an email? I thought they would process it per day (mine reached CIC on 29th july).

    Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

    So sorry to hear that! I'm also waiting since July 29th for tracker to get activated. I don't understand why CIC does not deal with passports separately. Passport is very important to people (especially who are international here). There should be a separate email address which only responds to...

    Credit Card Bloocked- Need advice

    I was in the same boat last year. There is nothing that you can do other than waiting. CIC will return your application without issuing AOR. This may take 1-2 months (depending on the current processing times). In the meantime, make sure that you get a new credit card. Alternatively, try to...

    How long it take to get passport back?

    Passport return times are inconsistent. It can take from 5 days to few weeks. I'm still waiting for my passport (sent on July 29). Good luck :)

    Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

    This isn't necessarily true. People from visa exempt countries do not get PPR at all. They directly get their CoPR in the mail. I was referring to a new scenario where some applicants are getting passport photocopy request. CIC then books a landing appointment in a local CIC office and notifies...

    I came across two instances recently. I'm sure there are more.

    Waiting for Passport - Please add your case here

    Agreed. One thing I've realized over the last couple years (+ friends experience) is that you cannot predict timelines - accurately that is. There is definitely something going on at CIC these days. Overall, people are not getting DM, PPR and other updates on their application for the past few...

    US Visa for Canada PR

    This totally depends on your passport, luck and the visa officer. I've been in Canada since 2006 (will be PR soon). Applied for US visa but got it after 9 months. My friends who has been PR for few years (and US/UK visa holder for most of his life) applied for US visa renewal and it took him 7...

    NOVEMBER 2013 APPLICATIONS

    My passport was delivered on 29th..return tracker not activated yet. I'm sure it's vacation season and could lead to overall delays in processing.

    NOVEMBER 2013 APPLICATIONS

    CIC is not consistent in replying to questions / updates over emails. There are times when I got a response the very next day while other times I never heard from them (until this date). This could be 1) maybe they are busy 2) only few types of questions are allowed over emails. I'd say order...

    NOVEMBER 2013 APPLICATIONS

    Quick question - I sent my passport using XpressPost (with signature option). The Canada post guy said to use the address with PO Box number and not the one for Courier. The item was delivered successfully today but no signature is shown online. Have you guys been in the same situation? EDIT...

    MR - E-Medical Enabled - Toronto

    Yes. Dr. Francis Li is e-medical enabled. I did mine through them (went early morning on Friday). No appointments required which is good given others usually have long wait list. It took about 2.5 hours to complete everything. They uploaded results within 10 days and it showed up on my ECAS in...
