Dear all,
These guys are playing ping pong with us. Last month I inquire CHC Islamabd about my case status and they said that your application is in queue to be reviewed,so wait patiently. My CAIPS notes reveals that my application is in final stage and it is mentioned on CIC website as well in the following email that all the applications which are in final stages will be dealt by Islamabad embassy.
I resend my case status inquiry in the last week of november and yesterday they send me the following reply:
As of April 1, 2010, applications for permanent residence under the Economic categories for citizens or residents of Pakistan will be processed by our office in London, UK. The economic categories are comprised of Federal skilled Workers, Federal Investors, Self-Employed, Entrepreneurs, Provincial Nominees and Quebec-selected Permanent Workers and Business People. Although Islamabad will continue processing a few applications that are close to completion, the majority are being transferred to London. The file transfer of existing permanent residence applications under the Economic categories is currently underway.
We, the Islamabad Office, are not updating your file or adding any information to your file in response to your email.
If you are enquiring if your application has been transferred and will be processed in London, please be advised that the London Office will contact you when they are in a position to begin processing your application. We regret that neither our office nor London office is able to provide status updates at this time. You may wish to resend your enquiry after November 2010 to the London Office.
At this point, it is too early to tell what the new processing times will be for these cases in London.
We thank you for your patience during this transition period and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Now they are saying that I should inquire London embassy about my case status and may send an inquiry after November 2010 and they are replying me in december whereas November already passed, which shows its again a generic reply and they did'nt bothered to check my file status.
This is not a good gesture from their side and unexpectedly a non-professional attitude specially from an embassy of a country which has a repute of fairness and protectors of human rights in this world, a country which has a very good image in the world's eye.
We professionals of Pakistan were attracted towards Canadian Immigration because we have a very good perception of this country, Our country is blessed with everything, our people are hardworking and intelligent, we have all the resources to become a successful nation, but what we lack is sincere and true leadership, our systems have collapsed, we are frustrated because nobody hear our voice in this country and protect our rights until we have some good relations in the ministry or government organization, our systems are not transparent, these are the main factors which forced us to migrate to a country like Canada, where are future is saved and our rights are protected.
But it is regretted to state that we are being treated in the same manner, where is the transparnt and fair immigration policy, they clearly mentioned that those applications which are on fast track will be finalized in an year's time, but its almost 2.5 years since I filed my application and its not finalized yet.
I suggest all of you whose applications are in final stages and whose medicals are going to expire in near future to write a single email from all those affected applicants due to this transition phase to Minister Kenny requesting him to instruct the embassy to finalize our cases on urgent basis as the delay due to this transition is not due to our fault, and the embassy must provide a clear status of our cases
I request all of you to provide your comments on my post.
Regards,
