hi lakewood, same is the case with me... cant figure out why
Take a look at
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/copr-category.asp

It is a category "SW1-FED: Skilled Worker – Federal", there is no SW2 in it.

Can you both share your timeline of when did you get passport request and visa?

Thanks

I think you ought to order a GCMS note; it has been a while that you did your medical exams.

Medical forms came in a separate email.
But nothing for our toddler son. His documents I was
Updated 5 weeks ago.
My question is

2.or it's possible
That they did not receive my email with updated documents?
3. Should I ask them ME form for my son?

4 Is antibody any experience with doctor Jimmy Wong in NYC?
5. What is the best way to send application to FBI
6. and should I
Put I paid envelope in it

Any answer would be appreciated.

Talking to your MP to check your application status may be even better than waiting for 30 days to get GCMS notes. MPs normally can check status within 2 days. I know an applicant who talked to MP to check status and got PPR following week !

Lets hope all Buffalo backlog applicants get PPR by the end of this year !!!

It has really been a while. Does your ecas show medical received? I would have said to send a polite email to ensure they have received everything they requested from you and are not waiting on anything else, but they want us to keep emails to a minimum. In our case three weeks after sending all the documents requested we emailed them as a follow-up to find out whether they had received everything. They emailed back that they had not received some of them (though we sent them and received email confirmation). GCMS may take too long.

Medical received line were added to my ecas in second week of September. I sent them an email in August to ensure they have received my documents and got reply that they ave received them. Last week I sent them another email asking any of the additional document but didn't get any reply till now.

Hi Edmontonian204,

Try contacting them by sending a fax message. I heard that It sometimes works better.

U can go to dr Jimmy wong, he will be sending via eform to CIC which will save you time.
For FBI there is no way of sending pre-paid envelope, just do finger printing in the form of FBI format and send it, You have to wait at least 5-6weeks to know the status after they receive ur application.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Lets keep praying and hoping. For some, it is so fast, for others really slow. As they say, each case is different so we can only keep praying and hoping we hear good news soon. We've waited for so long already it can't get worse, it will only get better. The good news will come soon. :)

hey Aspirant,
is your also transferred to Mexico?
My file is in Mexico. Did my Medicals in July and they received Medicals and additional forms on 09 August 2013.
then they asked for RCMP Finger Prints and they received it back on October 24. After that no reply.

Did they asked you anything after that?

Copies vs Certified Copies

Hi All -

When sending documents for PR application - do they have to be certified copies or copies only?

Thanks,
