1- Now it has been almost 14 months and I have not received a single message or anything from CIC. I was looking into the ATIP and Privacy Request where we can request info but I don't know which one to request my info under...the ATIP act or the Privacy Act? And what kind of info do they give you?
It is normal for not getting anything for 14 months, ordering GCMS notes is under ATIP not Privacy, it wont really help you at this stage, I would suggest that order GCMS when you receive your first correspondence from Ottawa/CHC-ISB
3- Does anyone here have their files in CPP Ottawa? Do you think they take longer than Islamabad or shorter time?
For any files in Ottawa, the time frame stills applies that of CHC-ISB 28 months, its a moving target, if it jumps to 30 months your time frame will also become 30 months not the one at the time of application. I know it does not make sense but nothing makes sense there anyways
4- If I have a slight address change (municipality decided to add a word before my street name), should I update online or call...do you think calling will get them to pick up my file and be like "oh there is this file too" or they just get angry that they have to change my address slightly on everything?
you can change address online being a Canadian address, no need to call them.
Thanks so much in advance guys!!
