Good morning everyone,

I called the VO in Ankara, and I asked some questions, and here are the answers: ( The lady was very nice and she said she fully understands the I might be going crazy about the transfer)

Q- did you start working on applications that you received from Damascus yet?
A- they have started working on them just last week but it will take until at least mid-march to give out the first batch of PPR

Q- If my application was sent to Damascus 8 months ago do I have to wait another 5 months ( Turkey Timeline) Does the timeline for me start for the start all over again.
A- No, but you might have to wait 2-3 months.

Q- New application's will it be the time line you have posted on CIC?
A- we will try to make it in 5 months but because there will be very big batch coming to us in the next 2-3 weeks ( Files that are still in Mississauga) you should give it a few more months maybe 6-7 months.

She told me that not to worry, because they are going with the files as fast as possible.

so people who have 10+ months INSHALLA you will be getting your PPR in the next 1-2 months.
BUT the first batch of PPR should be in MID-MARCH.

Hope the information helped you guys, Because it helped me A LOT!!!

And I didn't ask her the question that direct..lol
I asked questions kinda random and I got answers like that.

But I posted it like this so it will be VERY easy to understand it.
tnx a lot u helped a lot.

thank you again
and Good luck for all this forum members who waited for LoOoOoNg time and their patience almost finished

My papers are still in Mississauga. The guy told me they won't send my papers to Beirut until Mid-March? How long do you think until my husband gets his Visa from Beirut. I hope in 4-5 months. Inshallah

Hi SBM, realy no one knows but I think the waiting time will be less than Damascus in all offices.... also because lebanon is a small office and works just on Lebanese and residents in Lebanon, that is a good point for you and all the new files that will transfer on March :).

I hope so. I haven't seen my husband in over a year. I'm praying that he will get his visa sooner rather than later.

Need help!
According to my e-cas, they received my file in May 2011 but since e-cas is not that reliable I'm not sure if my file has ever been received physically by Damascus. (there r people who applied in september and their e-cas was quoting the same statement but later they came to know that their files were kept in mississauga).
Those who have a file number like Arezou (who applied in feb) can be sure that their files were there in damascus but there is no way at the moment that I can learn about my file number.
My question is that do we have anybody in this forum who applied in April/May and received a file number from Damascus? (from Arezou case I can say that those who applied in feb 2011 can be sure that their files were in Damascus, but when it was that cic stopped sending files to Syria? Any clue?)

Thanks!

Hi,

for that you have to call CIC to make sure where your file is!

Amazing! U received ur approval in 11 days while the average time line at that time was 34 days.
I filed my application on 1st of April and I received my approval on May 5th.
