Are you sure?
I'm scared that the mail get lost or something. At least the envelope has the name of the officer who is checking my case. So, I suppose It would get to his hands.

What do you think?
U can call canada post. I guess there is an option to update the address.

I called Canada Post and they told me by law they cannot change or add anything to the address.

I know they are gonna receive the mail but I don't know how long they are gonna take to figure out which floor and section it should go. I just know I have the name or number of the officer who is in charge of my case and inside the envelope is the rest of the information.

I applied for GCMS on January 14th and still haven't heard back from them. Do they normally take more than a month to process GCMS request?
I never received any acknowledgement from their side either. Is this normal. All I did was send two pdf files, one for the application and the other my WP and wrote in the email to find the application as attachment. Did I do something wrong?

Hello Navguy

I asked for GCMS notes twice. I always get an email saying that they received my inquiry. They take around a month to answer you back even less than that.

Hi syed , did you get your passport back from ottawa? My situation exactly like yours. My ECAS Exactly shows like yours one. ( i sent my passport 21st january). Just a minute before i checked ECAS it shows like this. Please let me know you get your passport back or not.

we received your application for permanent residence on April 29, 2011.

We started processing your application on February 18, 2013.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.
No I have not received yet...I guess it takes at least 2 to 3 weeks to get the passports back.
have you not sent prepaid envelope with the package. you can monitor the tracking number if you have done so.

will post my updates if I have some news..

Hi Syed,
look at the email that seulkiro shared. Do you think he needs to send his police certificate? It's very similar to the email that I and others have received it.
Hi McMont
the email that he posted is the first email not the second one. He said they specifically asked for police certificate in his second email.

and we all received is the similar first kind of email...so we do not have to unless they ask specifically..

we can ask seulkiro to post his second email....
