    Finally received passport with the PR visa which was already... EXPIRED!!!

    Fax, email AND write a Letter of complaint to London AND notify them you will be getting hold of The Minister of Immigration (fax him) and do so. It would appear they sat with the passport for 8 days before they actually issued it. Don't let it go.

    Unbelievable

    What is unbelievable is you can get doctors, engineers etc working as taxi drivers. My point is more than likely the vast majority of immigrants would have applied to enter as skilled workers, submitted their qualifications, work & personal history to the Govt and supposedly had all of this...

    Why are foreign qualifications good enough to get you into Canada but not good enough to get a job?

    London Visa Office - How Long Did Your Application Take / How Long is it Taking?

    Assuming everything is ok, no files are lost or unwarrented delays you between 6 & 12 months are considered "normal". If there is anything "abnormal" ie Police Clearance or Medical Clearances count on waiting anything over 1 1/2 - 2 years. I've heard horror stories out of London and at best...

    London Visa Office

    What I don't understand is how the visa offices are able to sit for such extraordinary lengths of time with no word or contact from them. Is this normal? Also is there any form of seeking redress if you feel the length of time is beyond reason. More importantly is it worth it and who would you...
