Did you ever ask for your GCMS notes or talk to an MP about the delay?

Thanks a lot everyone

I ordered GCMS three times. Once in June, then in oct and then dec. Same notes every time. No one touched my file since buffalo transfer. I also contacted my MP three times. Same reply every time that it is in queue in ottawa.

They didn't ask me to redo medical. In fact today is the first time after medical request that I heard from CIC.

CICs server just cannot find my records in its database. It does not give me an error that I entered something wrong.

This came as a pdf attachment in an email.

Date: February 4, 2013 UCI: ********
Application: EP000*****
Email:
xxxxx@gmail.com
xxxx xxxxx
XXX - XXX Rue XXXX W Montreal, QC , XXX XXX
Canada
Dear XXXX XXXXX,
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete.
PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING. YOUR APPLICATION WILL BE FINALIZED AT THE CASE PROCESSING PILOT-OTTAWA (“CPP-O”).
Has your family composition changed since our last correspondence?
 Have you married or divorced?
 Have you given birth or adopted a child?
 Do you intend to get married or divorced prior to becoming a permanent resident?
 Do you intend to give birth or adopt a child prior to becoming a permanent resident?
If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPP-O immediately: OttPilot-Immigration@cic.gc.ca
You will be asked to submit evidence such as a copy of the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption certificate or a letter advising when and where the marriage, divorce, birth or adoption is expected to take place. Any new spouse and/or children must be added to your application and be found admissible to Canada before your case is finalized. Failure to declare additional dependants such as a spouse or children before you become a permanent resident could result in the cancellation of your permanent resident visa. Once your

file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new application would be assessed under the Act and Regulations in force at the time of its submission.
Passport(s)
We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.

Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport.
Height and Eye Colour
We require confirmation of this information for yourself and each accompanying family member. Please complete the attached form “Biodata” and return it to us.
Photographs
You must submit two (2) recent photographs of yourself and of each accompanying family member
that meet the requirements stated on this webpage.
How to Send your Documents to the Case Processing Pilot – Ottawa (CPP-O)
Please submit all documents by MAIL in a single package. Please quote your application number on
your correspondence and send the package to one of the following addresses:
Canada Post:
CPP – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa ON K1G 4B9
Courier:
CPP – Ottawa
365 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa ON K1A 1L1
If you have a mailing address in Canada: To allow you to track your passports through the mail, we strongly recommend that you purchase two (2) PREPAID Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (National), letter-sized (318 x 241 mm), at any Canada Post retail outlet.
- Complete the mailing label on one envelope showing your mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
- Keep a tracking number sticker from each envelope.
- Fold and enclose the self-addressed envelope in the other envelope along with your passport(s) and a copy of this request letter.
We will not use registered mail or postage coupons. If you do not submit a return prepaid Xpresspost envelope or if you provide an envelope from any other courier, we will return your passport by regular mail.
CPP-Ottawa accepts no responsibility for any passport lost in the mail.
The requested information/documents must be received in our office within 60 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application.

Final Note
The issuance of your visa(s) cannot be delayed so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) as soon as possible. An expiration date (dd/mm/yy) will be indicated on your visa and/or on your Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR – IMM 5688), and you must obtain permanent residence on or before that date. The visas and CoPR cannot be extended. If you are not prepared to live permanently in Canada immediately after your permanent residence is granted, please consult the CIC website regarding your obligations to retain your status in Canada.
Sincerely,
Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa | Centre de Traitement Pilote - Ottawa - # SC00231 Citizenship and Immigration Canada | Citoyenneté et Immigration Canada
