Thanks so much TC and everyone. Landing, well it was no problem. :D We went over the US border and back in a day, as we are very close to the USA border here. London did not do a thing with our passports so I have no idea why we had to send them! We just got them back with one of those...

Update; We received our COPR ten days ago and "landed" by crossing the Can/USA border last Sunday, 5th February. Almost 17 months to the day since we applied. So just for your information on timeline we had; Med requests - 29th November 2011 Meds done - 30th November 2011 (yes, we had them...

Please update our status. ECAS is now showing DECISION MADE as of 27th December. We have had passport requests but due to the holidays and the risk of the courier trying to deliver them and the VO being closed, we have decided to send them after the New Year break is over.

Please update our profile as follows; Meds and RPRF request received - 29th November Meds done - 30th November Passport requests received - 21st December Thanks!

Sorry to have been absent for so long but it has been all go here ;) We got our Medical requests eventually on the 29th November, but due to the post they were already nearly halfway through our 60 day deadline, so I booked them for the very next day. We expected that to take about three weeks...

Congratulations, Shalom. May I suggest that you leave it until after Christmas now, though? Flights will be double and more what you would have to pay after Christmas. If you haven't sorted accommodation out, then a rental will most likely start on the 1st of the month and as most people will...

What's up with the spreadsheet? I have just tried to view it and I received a message saying editing it might harm my computer. It is also in Arabic. When I downloaded it to use the filters. I noticed that all the names are in the wrong order and not in application date order as they were...

WHAT IS LONDON PLAYING AT? >:( How can they be processing March 2011 Pakistan applicants in 8 months while leaving Cat 2 applicants waiting who have a job already lined up and who are already contributing to the Canadian economy? People think it is OK because we are already in Canada working...

I am so very glad to hear this news from you! ;D It has been hard for all of us who have been living without our loved ones and to know that awful situation is coming to an end for you is GREAT! It will be wonderful to be back with your family and they will be proud to enter Canada with you. All...

Update - My OH just received his TWP renewal for two years until October 2013. That means I can now have my SOWP and get a job. It also means we have some security here until 2013 (as long as OH's job security stands up). London VO seem to be going very slowly in our case and I just don't know...

After 14 months of waiting I have once more e-mailed Minister Kenney's office to query the delay with our processing. On their last reply when we were at 10 months processing, they said that they were currently processing 80% of applicants within 13 months and that they could not consider...

Hello, everyone. Been a while since I posted because I have come to Canada to be with my husband at last and I have had a lot to do settling in and sorting out the house. I will have to go back at some point to tie up affairs but at least now I can share some time with my husband and the waiting...

Our updated docs were received by London VO on Tuesday 6th September, so we are only just behind you. :) I hope we both get meds requests soon.

Excellent news !!! :-*

I share your frustration. Category 2 have been treated very poorly. When we applied, the official London VO website stated 6 months for FSW Cat 2 processing and yet we have been at the VO since early March and not yet even received our Medical Requests. I make it 370 days since we applied...

It is our one year anniversary today! I have just sent docs to London and hope that there is going to be meds soon. I still cannot understand how London can be giving meds to April 2011 applicants and yet Autumn 2010 applicants are still waiting, but it doesn't surprise me any more. London and...

Thanks Wendy. Well, they have not been able to do anything with us until they received our requested updated documents. These have just been delivered to the guard at the VO at 0.08am, a full three weeks before the 60 day deadline of Sept 27th, so now they can hopefully begin working on them...

Thank you mitali ad also to kittu for kind thoughts. ;D I cannot follow the forum as much as I have done before because of work and home commitments but I am pleased to see people getting good decisions. There do not seem to be all the issues with CIO making mistakes like they did at the...

UK Police checks update I received my UK Police check (updated ones requested by London VO) back after just 8 working days. And that was including the day of postage from Acro. They usually quote 10 days and that does not include the day postage to ACRO or back from ACRO, so mine arrived extra...

They certainly do look at the file at the deadline of 45 days (or 60 or 90, depending what they have stipulated) because if you have not submitted the requested documents by the deadline they contact you again and chase them, threatening to discontinue your application. If you do send the docs...
