7 months of waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jazz2]

I really do not know what to make of it. Can you guys believe it? I am living in a foreign land where I need to have my valid passport all the time.In 2009,The local Canadian office asked me to submit my package which included my original passport,medicals and RPRF.I did just that and in a timely manner.Guess what,after that submission, it's now 7 months down the line and no decision has been made!!

I have had to do with limited travel even locally coz I do NOT have my passport with me...Why would the CIC ask for that crucial doc-PP- if they know very well they are not ready to reach a decision??? Copies of an applicant's passport would do in the meantime coz it reflects the same info as appearing in the original doc,won't it?? 7 months without my PP has been so frustrating..no bank transactions..thanks coz I havent lost my ATM card!! otherwise I would be in deep trouble.

By the way,I have written them twice.In both occassions,I got a standard reply saying-All documents have been received and that my file has been sent to the visa officer for a final review.In a span of 60days,I got a similar reply,which indicates they are copy and paste replies.

Is it really necessary to get CAIPS at this stage? With that reply at hand,what's the next set of events likely be??...Ideasssss...

I don't get the rationale why they ask for the original passport during the full documents submission. It is supposedly during the passport request where in you need to give the passport for stamping..

I can totally understand how you must be felling. Budy, I am in the same boat. I sent my passport with medical and RPRF in October 2009. So it has been almost 9 months. However, my wife had to go for another follow up medical exam and the report was sent on January 20, 2010. The result was good though. I did get some replies from CHC ND and they said they have not received the medical decision yet. Still no final decision yet. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

How about the Final Review thing?? I got this reply saying "all docs have been received and that my file has been sent to VO for a final review,please be patient". Does this indicate that some checks are complete at this point e.g security checks??

Yes, it means that no more external checks are still pending, they received any results they wanted to get from any other department, and attached them to your file, and put the file on hold until the visa officer take a look at it and make sure that your file is complete.

It depends here on the time needed to the visa officer to make his final review on your file and take the decision.

By the way, how many days have been elapsed since you received that reply from them ?

Hi, Professional 1

Got this reply in early June, 2010. Thats about 30days.I know visa offices have different time frames given to the various files awaiting decision,however, after a month of receiving the"final review" reply,How long is the VO likely going to take to decide my case??

It should not be more than three months because it is just a review of the file (available documents).

Its just unthinkable and a bull shit situation ... how the hell they can do this sorts of activities with a man's life. There should be some way to complain these sorts of acts of the VO's to the ministry of immigration of Canada. Someone should bear the responsibility!!! Its so unfortunate that the applicants is paying the required fees of CIC and they are highly skilled manpower who are going to pay the handsome taxes to the Canadian Govt. but there is no one beside of the applicants who will look after the such reluctant lapses of the VOs.

I wonder.... if this is the fate for a man living in the twenty-first century who just want to immigrate to Canada... another country...

Write mails to the Minister, to the chief of Opposition of the Parliament.
This is not child's play. I understood your pain.
Write the concerned officer about your problem, write in detail, they love people explain stuffs to them.
