Wsalam.

I didn't take the email route, rather i just called him directly. Verbally it was alot easier to get my points through. I would recommend you find the contact number of your local mp and call him/her.
what do you mean by local MP ?

Do you feel it helped speaking to the MP? I know it varies from MP to MP, but in my case all they did was an inquiry and sympathized with the timeline.

Asslamualikum afghan0123,

I think it depends on the enquiry. Mine was pertaining to address change and received an email hours later stating We confirm receipt of your e-mail in Islamabad.

It's a form that has to be filled out and documents can be attached to it. It's very customer friendly unlike past forms that have been a nightmare to fill in.

ASyed :)
Asslamualikum,

Yeah! my home address and mailing address have been updated on ECAS at least their doing something right ;D

Maybe now they can resend me my AOR letter to the correct address.

I have something positive to finally say about our so called governments...

ASyed :-\

Hi,
i read your on line message, it is good sign, that your file has been transfer to London for further process because now a days Islamabad office has lot of rush so he changed the system of cases, so because of Isb rush they send the cases now a days to another Canadian High commission or other countries. it is fact, so don't worry.I think your case will maybe completed within 6 to 8 months .ok.
best of luck.

This London file transfers from CHC-Islamabad doesn't necessarily mean it automatically falls on the London timeline. I mean many senior members will know what i'm talking about. We can all recall Cpp-Ottawa. When they added Ottawa into the mix, all the members thought "wow" this will reduce the backlog and it will help us process of files faster (Ottawa timeline was 8 months then). Slowly, each applicant realized, Ottawa wasn't there to help reduce the backlog, yet it was there as a "holding" ground. Hence, why many members will see when they order notes that, their files are being forwarded to
e-storage Islamabad after 8-12 months. It's just a method to eliminate the overflow of files into Islamabad and to reduce the risk of files being lost/misplaced. That is why Islamabad is currently the slowest visa processor in the world. Ottawa is used as the holding ground and now so is London. I was very optimistic with Ottawa, slowly i realized. Now they trying to trick you with London. Same story different name.....

London is also processing Pakistani Skilled Worker Class cases, they have a special section dealing with Pakistan-based applicants.
I think it may be different than CPP-Ott.....hopefully
