I submitted OCI application for my minor kid at BLS Toronto today (Friday). Following is how they were operating and the information could be useful to those who plan to visit. - I arrived there at 11:30am (for 11:40am appointment) and was allowed to go in (after showing proof of vaccination and...

ECAS status changed to PR Card Processing in Process now as of 16-Sep. Hope to get the PR card in next 15-20 days.

I submitted my passport for renewal at Toronto and got PPR after one week. It took around 3 weeks (in July 2014) for passport renewal and I sent new passport (stapled along with old passport) to CIC for stamping without any explanation letter. CIC stamped the visa on new passport and returned...

How can you find out that you have a fatty lever? - by doing an Ultrasound. CIC medical does not include Ultrasound. Moreover, a lot of people have fatty lever (including myself) attributed to the lifestyle. Fatty lever is not a disease in itself but a sign of problems to come.

Passport delivered to CIC on 28-Jul-2014, visa issued on 29-Jul-2014, return tracker activated on 1-Aug-2014 and got the passports back on 5-Aug-2014.

I am waiting too. My passport(s) were delivered to Ottawa on 28 July. Return tracker is not activated yet. Hope to get the passports back next week.

Are you on a closed work permit? If yes, how did you get it? LMO? ICT? Did your employer list your responsibilities on your application for work permit?

Just got the PPR. Anyways, I will send them the PCC they requested for. Additionally, I do not have my passport with me right now (submitted for renewal, may take 4-5 more weeks) and will submit for stamping once I get it. Hope CIC will not reverse its decision until then. :P

ECAS status changed to Decision Made today. Not sure what's coming up! CIC requested for a fresh PCC from home country on 11-Jun-2014 and provided 60 days to furnish the document. I have not sent the new PCC to CIC yet; wondering how did they make a decision without the document they asked for...

I am waiting for PPR too. I was asked to send a fresh PCC for home country (since I paid a visit in April) again. I just got the PCC and will courier it sometime next week. Hopefully will get PPR after 2-3 weeks from then.

Did you end up renewing your passport at BLS Toronto? If yes, how much time did it take? I have to submit my passport for renewal and this information may be of help.

Did you get 60 days from your second PPR (changed visa office) to submit your passport OR 60 days from the original PPR date?

Just got an email from CIC asking for a fresh PCC from home country. I had already submitted all original PCCs with my application in Oct 2013 and then an RCMP in May 2014. Don't know what is cooking up. Anyways will start the process of obtaining PCC. On a side note: A friend of mine who is an...

Got a response within 2 days. ECAS was updated on 16-May showing medicals received.

Still waiting for passport request. ECAS was updated to reflect medicals on 16-May. I sent an email to CIC to confirm receipt of RPRF, Medicals, and RCMP and got an affirmative response.

I think CIC has intentionally slowed down to keep the timelines for issuance of fresh PR card in check (it is 85 days now, was ~35 days until early this year).

I do not think it is a good idea to hand the expired I94 out to US officer, it will only complicate the matter. For now, I'd suggest that you take I94 off your passport, keep it with you. Cross the border, flagpole, and return to Canada and complete your landing. Afterwards, find out how to...
