Hold onto your hats.... Positive news from London! So either they took the hint from my MP enquiry, or co-incidentally I just to hit the front of the queue, but either way looks good. About time too!

It's been done before - https://ecas.carroll.org.uk I don't think it works anymore though. I tried entering my details and it didn't work, but I was not interested enough to bother following up with the author. Maybe drop him a line before you start from scratch.

We are room buddies! Ask them to pickup mine while they are there :)

My working conspiracy theory is this isn't about Islamabad backlog, but resourcing. With CAD/GBP rate it sure is a lot cheaper to have them processed in Canada. Cut back on staff in London, but keep a few for those cases that require some local attention. Unfortunately those of us left...

Ohh... Good luck. I hope the back channels reveal some good info.

After 10 days and multiple chasers I finally have an update from my MPs office. Now, I'm taking that update with a pinch of salt because I sounds just like translation of what I saw in my notes. They did indeed review eligibility and request an RCMP check in August last year... I was more...

Not from London :P

Wohoo!!! Life from London. Congrats :) I'm happy for you.... and of course not so secretly hoping that now you are off the to-do list mine gets picked up! Fingers crossed.

Nope - notes still haven't arrived. Chased that too!

London is running slower than that at the moment. If you look at the spreadsheet the last 20 decisions averaged 10 months and I suspect will slip further. I engaged my MP's office yesterday so will let you know what they say (13 months and counting still Application Received)

Hello all, I received an update to my case specific enquiry today... sadly just a template response. >:( Call me old fashioned.... but I expect a queue to be "first in, first out"!!! Of course, we know from the spreadsheet that isn't the case. I'm due a set of notes today also but not...

BOOOMMMM!!!! YES!!!!!! :D :D :D I've been eagerly awaiting this update from you! Great to see London tick off one of the older cases.

No way. I factored about 6-8 months as we should be a straightforward case!

Not according to ECAS. From my last set of notes there was some activity back in August but ECAS still says 'application received'. Lets see what Friday's notes show.

We had a bit of discussion around this on another thread.... I've been waiting longer than both of you >:( I tried my luck with a case specific enquiry last Friday (no response yet) and I'm also due a set of GCMS notes on Friday. I'll let you know if anything comes of this. If not, I'll...

Lets see. Giving them one last chance... I sent a case specific enquiry today. Between that and the GCMS notes if I see no progress I'll try the MP route. I've tried to be patient so far. I'm more fortunate than many as I'm already in Canada on a TWP, so I'm sure there are more deserving...

Yep - I requested notes the day after my medical expired. Expecting to get them around the 18th April and will decide what to do then. I poked them recently to check on an address change (which isn't reflected in ECAS) and they confirmed it had been done, but gave me no other hints as to...

Requested GCMS notes back in December which basically said: Eligibility: In Progress (recommended passed) Security: Not Started Criminality: In Progress Medical: Passed But there had been no updates on my file since August, so looks like the did a bit of work on it, then parked it to come...

Boo... :( Better luck next time. No reason I know of. I requested notes when my medicals expired so will see in a couple of weeks. Last time I checked there were no issues with my app so I assume it's just sitting in a pile waiting to be picked up.

I understand. I don't mean to dash your hopes... I too search for signs of life, just try not to get my hopes up too much because it tends to fuel my frustration. In this case it would seem rather odd for CIC to route packages through a post office in Purley (given their location)... unless...
