yes, i did. They told me my file isn't in Islamabad (believe it or not). Another member had a similar issue. (my file was transfered about 4 months ago). Called cic they told me they will contact Islamabad "urgently", recieved no reply from anyone as of yet been 10 days. The other member stated CIC told him his file is in Ottawa processing center?? His file was transfered earlier than mine (maybe around dec 2011)??. So Im very confused..... ???sha123456 said:Has any one of you, whose file transferred in early 2012, emailed CHC-Islamabad asking for status on their files? Whats their response?

Don't worry about it, this will appear for the next 6-9months until they touch it. Even my status is the same "app received". I submitted 1 year before you. So... sit back relax enjoy the ride.yasirsaeed1 said:Does anyone know how long does it take to transfer the file to visa processing office after receiving AOR on average? I received my AOR last week and the status on E-CAS is currently showing "Application received"
The application was submitted on 17th July 2012
The AOR was received on 23rd August 2012.
There is something real "fishy" going on with Ottawa pilot. There is some truth to it, though it is still a mystery to the general public. They tell you that file is transferred to ISB and ISB tells you otherwise. That leaves me to believe my file is not in CIC or CHC but this Ottawa pilot??.rites.of.spring said:so maybe ottawa is processing them???

Yes, I read about that. It remains a big mystery, it could be reality. Whatever it is, hopefully it decreases the time to recieve your visa....Astro2 said:Quote from: HandM on August 28, 2012, 11:43:12 am
Does anyone know about the recent Ottawa pilot project?? Because I've heard that some people are having their files being transferred there for sponsorship instead of Islamabad?
www(dot)cic(dot)gc(dot)ca/english/resources/manuals/bulletins/2011/ob305(dot)asp
to recap:
The implementation of this pilot project will take place in two phases, as detailed below. The procedures will remain in place for at least two years. An assessment of the pilot will be conducted at the end of the first year.
Phase 1 – File Creation
Period: April 2011 to September 2011
Step Action
1 CBSA forwards the paper file to CPP-O.
2 CPP-O creates the GCMS file, initiates mandatory checks (security checks only) and forwards the file to the visa office for processing. CPP-O will not communicate with the client or the sponsor during this phase to avoid confusion for the client.
During Phase 1, CPP-O will develop quality assurance tools for this pilot and create guidelines to help triage files into different risk categories, with the assistance of Operational Management and Coordination (OMC) Branch and International Region.
Phase 2 – Full Processing of Cases
Period: September 2011 – April 2012
Step Action
1 CBSA forwards the paper file to CPP-O.
2 CPP-O creates the GCMS file and initiates mandatory checks (security checks only).
3.a For files with relatively low admissibility risks, CPP-O will process cases to final decision. Permanent Resident Visas and Confirmations of Permanent Residence will be printed at the visa office. CPP-O will retain the file.
3.b For files with complex admissibility risks, the files will be sent to the visa office for processing. CPP-O will not communicate with the client or the sponsor to avoid confusion for the client.
CPP-O will send a copy of the IAD decision to the relevant visa office for those cases which CPP-O will process to final decision.
THIS post of another member in 2011 thread seems very interesting to me.
so now Ottawa office is processing our files?
i am sure most have us have received the approval email from the Ottawa's office email address.
is there any way or any email address to contact them?
