Oh yes, you have a very good point on that. My bad, i should have said its the visa not the mr

You're never SAFE until you have the visa in the passport. Even after MR you can still fail on medical grounds, or security checks. I have even heard of people failing because CHC after interview did not believe they were married (and they had already had medicals by this point). Of course these cases are very rare but it seems it does happen. I am astonished but now finally will concede the visa office indeed do seem to do a 2nd eligibility review. However, I think is a quick check to confirm that CIO haven't made any mistakes - as opposed to CHC simply disagreeing with CIO out of pure opinion.

Do those people failing their eligibility review at visa office get a full refund? If they don't get a refund then this IMO is extortion on the part of CIC - "Yes, you're eligible -> Keep all the money -> Oh actually we've decided you're not eligible after all but we're keeping all the money anyway". NO WAY should they be allowed to get away with that.

Pretty sure a refund will happen since an application is not considered in processing until it has passed its eligibility review.

For anyone who fails at the visa office I would be very tempted to mail them - saying that why did CIO say it was a "final" eligibility review if visa office can still fail you. Why were CIO lying?

Hi lizz,

Just wanna share this to you and all of you here, according to my consultant we can be sure that vo or cio wont give as a refusal or denial letter until we are requested to have medicals. So MR is the most impt thing we should receive to say that our app were approved by canada


Lizzy

That makes no sense whatsoever. Applications can be refused...
1) At initial completeness check at CIO
2) At eligibility review at CIO
3) It seems at a 2nd eligibility review at visa office
4) After background/documents checks at visa office

All that happens BEFORE medicals so there are plenty of places an application can fail before medical requests.

An application can still fail after medical requests on medical or security grounds.

Very very very occasionally applications can still fail after PPR. I heard of one case where visa office requested passports. Then requested the husband+spouse to attend an interview, but failed the application because the visa office believed they were trained by a consultancy and not married.

So really the only time you are definitely going to get the visa is when you actually have it. Although after each stage your chances increase greatly.

Oh, by the way - address is gone again from ECAS!

I guess most visa offices are hoping to go "live" with GCMS on 1st April (tomorrow) which might explain it.

My address also gone.
But in process & details still alive with same lines.
Anybody can share, if..........

Update for London VO applicants:

A colleague who applied in August 2010 (not a forum member), just called me now that he just got his Medical and RPRF request this afternoon. So It looks like London is still moving.

Goodluck to all.

Dear 9jcanada,

Could you tell if your friend/colleague got a 2AOR from the London office or did he directly get the Medical and RPRF request just like the other 2 London applicants on this forum. Thanks...

This is quite unexpected. What's the point of the CIO eligibility review then if the VO can't trust the CIO to get it right? I thought the whole point of the fast-tracked process is to reduce duplication. We are certainly the guinea pig cohort. What's more is that the rejections are coming after the 2nd AOR. One would have expected that any eligibility review at the VO would be done before sending out 2nd AOR. Looks like the whole process is jumbled up. About time CIC publish a process flowchart to help clarify all this confusions.


@ Wayne: Based on Mrin007's post, it looks like they refunded his money, though his rejection was at CIO stage.

My husband did it on a two week visit (which Wayne knows and which is probably why he knew he could say it with confidence!). There's the proof.
Lots of research, lots of late-night calls and basically a lot of effort. No, the web pages are a rubbish way for people to find work in Canada. There is no point relying on web links like Job Bank as if you are not legally entitled to work in Canada at the point you apply because they will just bin your application. Canadians are not good with e-mail. They prefer personal contact and I for one can see why - it is the resort of people who do not make an effort. My advice to anyone really wanting or needing to find their job first is do your research on companies that might be interested in what you have to offer and call them personally. Then prove to them that you are serious by making the expensive journey and it can be done.
I am very surprised that anyone should expect any country to be interested in people who think that they can just fire off an e-mail CV and voila! a job will be offered to them.
Many people told us to give up as we weren't on the list but we refused to listen when they said it was impossible and kept on trying anyway.
Canada is a well-of country with a lot to offer to immigrants. Surely it is worth the effort? Cat 1 is actually a very easy route if you qualify for it. It costs some money and time, yes, but other than that it is just waiting.


Those of us without the benefit of being on the list have had to put way more effort into just getting to this stage than Cat 1s, for instance in our case my OH giving up his secure job here, over 7 months of separation from our partner, paying two lots of living expenses and hundreds of pounds we could ill afford for flights to see one another just twice in that time. Cat 1s who are moaning should ask themselves exactly what they have personally risked or sacrificed so far in this process and in most cases the answer will be nothing.
They say getting a job offer and LMO is next to impossible now. Only the very strong, committed and resourceful manage it and those qualities are what Canada wants. We are prepared to prove to Canada that we deserve a place there through our efforts.
People should remember that Canada is protecting its people with these regulations and requirements.
Immigration is not run for the good of the potential immigrant but for the good of the country.
Be glad you are currently meeting their criteria and have this chance.
BTW, I am in no way trivialising the fickle attitude of some government departments in other countries to issuing Visas but there are people who manage it. Effort and Luck are required to win the day.

agreed

No he didn't receive any 2nd AOR to the best of my knowledge. I know he got his PER around xmas time and this is almost certainly the next communication he's getting after the PER email.

Hello Raj,

I would suggest all of the passports to have minimum 1 year validity while sending it for stamping to be on the safer side . You never know if CIC will ask to renew them before stamping. Even if they do not request for that, and stamp AS - IS, they will have to land before the passport expires, which is NOV 2011. Supposing it takes until July to stamp their passports(worst cases), they will be left with less than 4 months to land.

It's always safe to renew the passports before sending to CHC for stamping. We have heard a case where CHC said the applicant's photo is too different from the current one, and he had to renew it before stamping.

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

Hi Raj & Indira,

IMO when you intend to land in Canada or any other country for that matter, the passport should be valid for the next six months atleast. My friend's son was not allowed even for the surgical operation. SO in any case the passport's validity should be more than 6 months when you plan to move.

Hope it helps

Thanks

Kittu
