    Thanks :) My wife's status changed to "decision made" around 6 days after we mailed the passport to CIC (Other forum members have reported similar timelines. I think it is safe to assume the status changes within 10 days of mailing out the passport) . The passport is mailed back to you the very...

    This is a fabulous idea. More so for spouses moving to Canada..... they would love to be in touch with a group of people going through similar experiences of moving into a new country / culture.

    Ask them to get a new passport made asap. Getting a new passport is not as long a process as most believe. The express service takes a week. When I was in Karachi a 5 months back, I was able to walk into the passport office, tell them that I need my passport even before 1 week, and.....after...

    Hi Dodge, This is very typical in CAIPs note. I order my CAIPs twice and on both occasions the notes were printed 3 weeks after the more recent bring forward date, but had absolutely no comments from that bring-forward date. Its almost like the comments themselves take 2-3 weeks to be added to...

    Wow, you got the passport back the same day as the online status change. That is superb. I am hoping my wife gets her passport back this Saturday (her online status changed today as well)

    Got your PM. I am a new member so I cant sent out PMs. My personal opinion, after reading the details in your PM, is that you are on the right track in trying to make your Sept BFD more productive by submitting medicals before it. Zayada say zayada kiya ho ga, your voluntary medical wont get...

    Hi Humaumair, I dont think it helps to send the re-medical voluntarily. I did that for my wife's case and 2 months after sending them the medical voluntarily, we got a letter asking for a re-medical. When I inquired (through email) that shouldnt my earlier voluntary medical work, CIC said they...

    guys, this is a bit off topic, but for folks who have already landed in Canada, were you given any document on landing that you could use as your "Permanent recidency" proof till your actual PR card arrived? Secondly, how long does it take to get the PR card from the time you land in Canada (I...

    Dont quite understand the logic behind CIC sending out a flood of ppr requests on the same day , around 3 weeks back, and then not sending out any PPRs since then. But then again, I am not sure if there is any science behind the way CIC does things. I hope this weekend brings some good news...

    Do folks have a rough idea how long the wait might be for the file to reach the decision making officer after the re-medical has been done? My wife got her remedical done (and submitted) around June 20th. I am looking for a rough estimate for when we might be getting the ppr. I realise there...

    Hi guys, Congrats to all those who recently received PPRs! =D My wife is a May 2010 AOR and got re-medical in June 2011. She is from Karachi. Seeing that a lot of you share the same timeline as my wife, we are very hopeful our PPR might be on its way as well. Would you be kind enough to...

    Hi guys, Could the people who have already received ppr requests, help answer this question. How did the ppr request come - through normal mail, registered mail or courier (tcs,etc) ? I have sponsored my wife (app started March 2010 and she recently submitted her remedical). But she and her...

    Hi everyone, Has anyone tried redoing their medical and re-filling the forms themselves and sending them back to the High commission in Islamabad (as soon as the medical expires). The way I see it, this should definitely save 2-3 months in the files as the embassy would have the new forms, the...
