Hi,

I'm making this thread for those of us who got DM in ecas and are waiting for their portal email. I got my DM on August 20th, 2021 and still waiting for the first portal email.

Let's compare timelines and connect here!

Thanks for doing this Klein. I got my DM on ecas a month ago ~ August 12th and have been waiting for portal email since. Would be nice to know if there are others in a similar situation waiting so long for portal email after DM.

(other info: My AR Sept 2020 2 nd week. ADR and Medical passed June and early July. )
 
I just ordered GCMS notes from CBSA the other day... Gonna be interesting what they say, I'll share when I find out :)

Do you have any updates on your case?

Sorry just saw your timeline...

why was there such a "problem" with your biometric?

Also if someone gives biometric once for the work permit does he need to do it again?

Kind regards

Hi!

I never gave my biometrics before for my work permit as it wasn't a requirement until recently. If you've previously given them (within the last 10 years) for other Canadian visa applications (or work permit in your case) you will NOT need to do them again.

The delay in my application was caused by COVID, as all Service Canada centres were closed for over half a year. If it weren't for Covid, I would have been able to do them much sooner, but ended up not being able to do them until October 2020 as I had to wait for Service Canada to call me with an appointment date.
