Hi Yukon, my BDEC is blank

Hi Yukon, my BDEC is blank

This is something I have never understood.... I have seen few CAIPS notes & it is blank for even applicants who have received their Visas & for even those waiting after medicals. But BDEC goes blank only after issue of medicals. If you see CAIPS before medicals BDEC is either 0 or 1, but once medicals are issued it is blank !!!

This mystery is probably the key to these delays after medicals that we face.... :

Hi yukon ,thnx for the info.

Any idea about my previous post of "mysterious reply" of "file waiting for a review" since January 2011,keeping in mind that I had no BFD during this period.

Sunny, what does it say in BDEC?

Hi yukon

Unfortunately BDEC is 0

Hi sunny, if you or anyone idea is there a difference between "File waiting for a review" and"currently BG checks are in progress/waiting for BG checks results".

As my case is specific in the sense that CHC London never mentioned me in any of their replies that my BG checks are either in progress or commenced or concluded so I am really in a fix about my BG checks as the reply which I am getting from the past many months ,usually people get just before issuance of PPR.There are examples of many applicants in this regards.But in my case due to a long delay I am not sure what is happening with my file.

Hi newcomer

What i think is that these are just standard replies if the application is just been put in the storage area. I believe CIC have a quota of visa to be issued every quater. So what i think is that we were put in the third quater as we will still be within our processing times of 42-48 months. So i imagine the immigration officer who replies to the emails actually just have a brief look at your application and if they notice everything is normal and the file is in the storage area for its turn to come then just gives this standard reply that its wating for a review by an immigration officer. If the file shows some red flags and they are awaiting some results from other agencies then they reply that your background checks are in progress. This is my assumption. I can be wrong.

hi sunny uk, I think you wrong here, let me tell you one thing, after medicals they request passport immediately in some CIC Office and other offices request passport one they ready for visas, in my case they request passport right after medicals, only reason is delay that they waiting for security clearance once they received security clearance ok then they issu visa, if they have already passports if not then they request for passport and issue visa in two weeks. but security clearance report take sometime year like I am waiting for my passports return almost 8 months now and my total process is more then three years. God bless everyone.

Hi yukon

Then the reason for the delay with your file is the pending background checks. It should be 1 if you have cleared them. (Or blank as we see for some cases that were finalized!)

Hi sunny,

I think you are right .Another interesting fact I would like to share with you .A common debate is going on at different forums regarding finding a connection between one's file processing and disappearance of E-cas status.I never paid any attention to it but after reading many posts regarding this issue I randomly checked my e-cas status yesterday and surprisingly it was missing.One common notion is that whenever your file is "pulled out" (obviously not physically) from the storage area for processing your address disappears,which shows that atleast some activity is being done on your file.This could be true as I also had a BFD last week.So do keep checking youe e-cas.

Here is a post copied from another DF,which will give you a better idea.

Back to the Topic of the E-CAS Address Disappearance (Missing), I have read a lot of forum posts about this subject.

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/contact-address-disappeared-from-ecas-t66852.0.html



Reasons could be:

1) Some claim they are making some changes i,e caips to gcms transfer and it happens when your data is being transferred from one system to another

2) There is a chance that your data gets vanished on your bfd (bring forward date)

3) It is nothing and just a temp glitch (not good / not bad)

4) Others say that this is an indication that your file is under review and to expect updates soon after (such as Meds or PPR)

definitely for us, we would all love to go with Item#4.

Hi newcomer

Thx for this information. I normally don't check ecas but after reading what you have written i went to check my ecas and realised my address is missing too. Now i don't know since when it is missing but it used to be there before. My ecas has never changed since Aug 2007. When i click in process all its says is we started processing your application in aug 2007. Nothing else. My medicals are recieved by CIC but ecas doesn't show this at all. So i never bothered checking ecas at all. But as you have mentioned it can be a good sign as some people got PPR after address dissappearence hopefully it happens to us too. Good luck mate. Fingers crossed

Hi sunny,

Greaaaaaaat to know about your e-cas as well.Dont know whether its a sign of PPR or not but atleast one thing is for sure that atleast some activity is going on with our files.Well as far as e-cas is concerned I also dont have any information except"we started processing your file..........".I think as your last known BFD was in January,same is the case with me,so you should have a BFD in July may be in the current week .Lets hope for the best ,if its a PPR call then anything might arrive in 1st week of August or so.Lets keep our fingers crossed

Hi,

This forum is really great!

Address disappearance should have positive 'co-relation' with 'Outcome' or any activity.

We will update each other about any change or news next week or so.

hi,

I got following reply from CIC New Delhi.

"Your file is currently with an immigration officer for final review. As your family's background checks are still pending, I am unable to provide you with a final decision at this time."

I have send passports 10 monts ago and mdecial is expiting in next month.

Not sure what it mean as they mentioned BC is still pending....

thanks,
