The bill is one of the longest pieces of omnibus legislation brought in by the Tories. The 400-page package touches on dozens of laws, it contains major changes across the spectrum of federal responsibility, including environmental protection, Employment Insurance, border security, immigration, pensions, national parks, foreign aid and other programs.

Hi jnathan ,

Hope you could help

I applied under FSW in March 2011 ,my spouce and I were on a Bridging VISA here is Australia.

In May 2011 my spouce's Permanent Risidency (for Australia) was refused becasue the ex employer gave wrong answers on the phone but there was no misrepresentation.

The reason given by the VO was " Not statisfied by your claim of having worked for XYZ" and we were given a chance to appeal but we didnt because we had already applied for Canada FSW.

After this I applied for Temporary Residency in Australia and it was approved. We are still in Australia.

" Medical Results have been received" line was added to my ECAS some 7 weeks ago.

We are worried because it has been more that 3 months since we took the medicals and there is still no sign of PPR.

I have holidayed in 8 countries in my life though.

What do you think is going on behind the scene ?

Do you think , because my spouse has a "Rejected PR Visa" by Australia, this is going to have a negative effect on our security clearance

Or do they check the all visa rejections before Medicals.

Please shed some light on this.

Thanks in advance.

They do the security checks after Medical.
this could yake 3-6 months.
No prob if none of you were engaged with any violent work.

Canada's economy is slow these days and more time will be needed for your case. enjoy other beautiful things in life.

its an old debate from october 2011....various steps like decrease in FSW cap at 10,000 apps per annum and super visa for parents/grandparents have already been taken...plus they decreased quota of FSW by 10,000/ after mix/levels of immigration for 2012 were announced....

Latest news on limiting immigration applications. Family class likely to suffer. The reason I am posting it is that in the last two days, a forum member was spreading rumours and panic that MI-1 applicants were going to be refunded of their application fee.

No clue yet about this Address appearance and disappearance issue.
Nothing to worry.
But this is sure that they are working on your file at the moment and the database is being accessed.
