Alright Lads,
Pretty tired of this PR process. I've been reading the forum for quite some time now. Did all the suggestions made on the forum. MP didnt help except tell me my file was transferred to buffalo on 2012/7/7 and the processing time is 12 month from date when the file was transferred.
GCMS:
Medical: passed
Criminality : In progress
Eligibility: Not Started, Due date 2013/03/21
Security: Not Started, Due date 2013/03/21
All above @ status date of 2012/03/21

Latest date for any updated was 2012/08/07 under client details

Timeline:
Application sent to NSNP: 20-Sep-11
NP Approved: 14-Oct-11
App to Buffalo: 3-Jan-12
Ecas App received: 25-Feb-12
Medical request: End of March 2012
Ecas Medical received: 04-may-2012

Situation:
My provincial govt had sent my nominee certificate to Buffalo.as you can see my date of PR application was in Jan, CIC made everyone send their application to Sydney NS as of Dec 1, I contacted my provincial govt to ask if i should send it to sydney or buffalo. They said even though CIC has provided a CIO they(buffalo) still do accept application(for certain grace period) and since my nomination letter was sent there then i should sending my application to buffalo. Well it took time to apply to buffalo since i got my nomination because me and my spouse have lived in different countries for a while and we had to get police certificate from 5 different countries. Anyway after applying to buffalo, as you can see from my timeline the process was quick in asking for meds, We were quite happy. Suddenly news of buffalo office closing down shattered all our hopes in getting PR in time.
I was on a 3 year open work permit which expired on july 2012, My employer renewed it under their name. I'm Locked to work only for them now. My spouse's renewed WP was open. Suddenly another sad news, The company i work for got SOLD and the company that bought us was one of our competitors. They have all the staff they need and they dont need to add a soul to their workforce after the acquisition and so there is no hopes of rentention, i will be laid off by the end of the year once the deal is finalised legally. The field i work in is very specialised and there are no Jobs for my field in my province thus i cannot find work here no matter what, I have to move provinces or countries.

Does anybody have any advice on what to do? if I move provinces will it invalidate my PR application ?

Please let me know if you find the answer and my timeline is also almost same as yours.

Contact your Provincial Nominee Office to get a ssupport letter for an open WP. You can explain your current situation. If you give them all supporting documents, they should be able to help you.

They applied in January 2012. MPNP, Under employer's direct stream.

hi

is it different from normal pnp...becuase pnp is always employer driven

I think Manitoba has 4 streams.
-Employer
-Student
-Family
-General

You can ask the pnp but it might not work in your favour. The work permit support letter is employer based and shall be a close WP. When you are not working for the same employer it negates the PNP Certificate so getting a WP based on the fact that you arent working for the employer that sponsored you, doesnt look promising!

If you work in another province it makes your current PNP certificate void!

How often do you guys request your GCMS notes?
Last time i requested mine were in Sept

Going by your timeline and what I have seen for 2012 applicants, there still is a possibility that you might get ppr before year end.

 

[sharuu]

i APPLIED for GCMS on 11 OCT and got on monday 22.....in 10 days---ask them again...now a days they r sending within 20 days---my friend also got in 20 days

Any progress? My file hasnt been reviewed yet since it got transferred in July!

 

[sharuu]

Hi all, does anyone able to contact with CIC recently? I haven't received my GCMS notes which was due last week. I have sent an e-mail to ATIP asking when can I expect it, its been also a week I haven't heard anything from them. Any advice on this?

Re apply with the new form and it seems they are sending within 10 days now!
