Salam guys, inshallah within few days my application will be filed in Mississauga,
I was going thru last few pages of this thread and im a bit confused about couple of things..
1st is people are saying their file is in Ottawa, is it because they live in Ottawa or is there any change in process?
2nd is people are saying that Ottawa are processing files quickly? true?
and I want to know as my in laws live in Mississauga they will apply for immigration their does my file also comes to Ottawa or it will be processed in ISL?
also I want to know what's the expiry time of medial and police file. Today I got my police verification and medical was done on 10th august.
1st is people are saying their file is in Ottawa, is it because they live in Ottawa or is there any change in process

no they dont live in ottawa files where transfer to ottawa instead of islamabad because of heavy load in islamabad

2nd is people are saying that Ottawa are processing files quickly? true?

where also listening this from long time but still not sure is it true or not

and I want to know as my in laws live in Mississauga they will apply for immigration their does my file also comes to Ottawa or it will be processed in ISL?

it depends on CIC they r sending randomly few files to ottawa and few to islamabad..

also I want to know what's the expiry time of medial and police file

medical is valid for 1 year ..police certificates is different for different cities few have 3 month limit few has 6 month and some of them have 1 year validty

What do you mean? So if the sponsor person - the Canadian wife or husband is in Pakistan then the file is in Islamabad
and if the that person is in Canada then file is in Ottawa?

I think you are talking about how it works for Canadians and people from visa exempt country ..come here and live with their spouses while PR is in process .. I think almost everybody here has their spouse back in Pakistan. because visit visa is hard to get.

If your file is transfered to ISB than it should take a max of 26 months.

If gone to ottawa it should take 12 months + ppr stamping from ISB (don't know how long that will take).

However, ottawa doesn't seem to live up to its expectations so far.

This is clearly not normal. Something is up. It doesn't take over 4 months for approval. Get an Mp involved to ask the rationale behind this wait.
