Ever since e-cas started working again, my status of the first-stage changed from Decision Made to In Progress. And the address changed back to the old address. So basically, I was worried enough that our case wasn't moving forward, but its now going it seems to be going in reverse.

passport gone since 6 months 10 days and counting...

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

I think you guys interpreted the 28 month different in a wrong manner, it is not how it works.

First think the 28 months is the Worst case scenario and it is only 10% cases explained below.

Let me explain you guys in a clear way.

CIC didn't yet provided the detailed figures since they updated the 80% figure to 28 months. The last complete data we got is till October 2012 so my explanation will be based on that data.

In the last 12 months the cases they precessed (gave visa PR) took in 80% of the cases 25 months or LESS the word less is very important. Because if you look at the excel file here is what in the titile :

X % of the cases were completed with in X month or LESS

So from September 2011 to October 2012 for Spouse and Partner cases processed by Islambad Office

80% or less of cases were completed in 25 months
70% or less of cases were completed in 22 months (which mean the only 10% took from 22 to 25 months)
50% or less of cases were completed in 19 months ( Which means only 20% took from 19 to 22 months)
30% or less of cases were completed in 16 months (Which means only 20% of cases took from 16 to 19months)
20% or less of cases were completed in 15 months (Which means only 10% of cases took from 15 to 16months and 20% took less then 15 months so it can be 1 month up to 15 months)

So please guys when you talk about time or when you contact the MPs don't get yourself fool by this 28 month figure only 10% of person are concerned by this time. And it is the worst case scenario and you should remind this to the MP.

I also analyzed the data of Application received and processed by Islamabad and I have very good news and feeling that in coming months the timlien will decrease by 30 to 40%

Here is my explanation :

Files received by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 3,012
2010 : 2,562
2011: 2,332
2012 (jan to sept) : 68 Low figure because file started to go to Ottawa

Files processed by Islamabad office from 2009 to 2012

2009 : 2,224
2010: 1,227 That is the root of our problem look below for explanation
2011: 1,760 : getting a little better
2010 (last 12 months till October 2012) : 2,232 This is a Good NEWS, it look that Islaman Office is back in it's old time figures


That is why there is backlog, because only 1220 PR given in 2010 which created a big backlog, I don't what really happened in 2010, coincident it was in 2010 that Pakistan was touched by it's biggest flood in his history which paralyzed the whole country in 2010 and in continued in beginning 2011.

As you can see in last 12 months Islamabad office treated almost same amount of files (even more) then in 2009. So it indicate that the backlog is been dealt and we will soon see the timeline go down :) I also think the cases from Ottawa will be transferred to Islamabad as they only received 68 cases and soon Islambad office will have no more file to work on.

I am not taking out these figure from thin air, these are official figures that CIC provide to data here is the link to all data (look for Permanent resident and also look for file received) http://www.data.gc.ca/default.asp?lang=En&n=6E81B685-1&parent=51383040-F4F9-4B96-9E6B-2D70AAFB522A

I can provide you direct links if needed.

So Guys and gals good time is coming for us :) in less then 6 months I am sure the timeline will go very low like 40% less then today.

very informative! +1 from me too

its sad to see that no one is intrested in responding to my question. However I am re-posting it may be this time someone will reply.

Everyone please give your important input in regards to my case as I am really stress.

File Transfer: Aug 2011

Proof of Contact and proof marriage been consumed : June 2012 (at this point I informed them that ruksati is already planned for Nov 5th and submit them proof of contacts alontg with proof hall receipt for advance booking).

July 2012: CHC called my wife in Pakistan and reconfirmed with her that if we having our ruksati on Nov 5th and once she confirmed it they informed her that they are sending her remedial now and will finalize process once they received ruksati pics. They also told her that now they wont call her.

July 2012: my wife received her remedical along with a letter to re-submit IMM forms within 45 days "AFTER RUKSATI".

Nov 2012: We did our mehndi, ruksati and walima and stayed in Pak for one month and had lots of pics.

Dec 17th: my lawyer sent all 200 pics and forms to CHC they received it on Dec 20th.

now its been two months since they got the ruksati proof too my wife did her medical in Aug 2012. Now what you guys think when should I expect any response and also what response I should expect. I would greatly appreciate any input.

you should get PPR In sha Allah ... its just the matter of couple of day.. they got proofs in december so they will take some time to review it and since remeidcal is already done so once review is done they will send ppr letter..
some of June/July remedical's are still waiting for PPR so just keep praying and In sha Allah your case will be done soon

Yes, that's how it usually is.. they courier guy collects it on delivery.

By announcing/encouraging people to pay in advance is going to confuse a lot of the new ones, since TCS does NOT accept advance payment. Atleast not the ones I've been to.

That's true ... i got confused when on the forums people had said to pay first, but my wife was telling me that TCS in pakistan doesn't do that. She sent a pre-addressed TCS envelope i believe, but the courrier picked up the cost of returning the envelope from her when the embassy delivered it COD (charge on delivery).
 
sabii said:
yes, if your visa office is outside Pakistan then you get PPR1 and PPR2.. in PPR1 you have to send only copy of the passport to the visa office and then PPR2 you will have to send original passposrt to ISlamabad...
the processing time between ppr1 and ppr2 is not fixed you can get ppr2 just after a month or could be couple of months..


THANK YOU:)

They return everything sent with the application except application forms, police clearance and Re-medical receipts when did you submit passport and has your status changed to decision made?

Thanks a lot for the info!

To be honest, I hadn't really been checking ecas at all until about Jan 2013..around this time I noticed that the status had changed to in process and date of processing is Dec 20th, 2012. Until now it's still the same, although medicals have now been received.

These are the people who are waiting ANXIOUSLY for PP return.
Please update it if any
 
Just learned about this GCMS notes through this forum. I'm definitely interested in learning the details of my case! Can anyone explain how to order these?
 
Just curious, when did you guys submit your applications? After nikah only? If so, how much time after your nikah? Or how much time after Rukhsati/Valima together?
