Speednab,

I am not sure if I made it clear. I sent my document to QSW office in Nov 2011 and got Acknowledgement of Receipt in Jan 2012. I have not yet got the CSQ. So that is why I did not get any medicals requested yet. I guess so. Am I still required to worry?

axsultana
From Lonreed answer, I see that you are still in the provincial part not the federal one. In this case you are in the wrong forum and you should learn about the process. It takes about 1 year to get the CSQ

Hello,

I just want to share this with you as I have been reading this forum for sometime now. I applied in July 2011 and my case is still in the "application received" phase. I got this information from CPP Ottawa yesterday.

Application Received Review Date* By what date will you expect to receive next update from CPP

before 1 Sept 2011 On or Before 28 Feb 2013 By 28 Feb 2013
1 Sept - 30 Nov 2011 On or Before 31 March 2013 By 31 March 2013
1 Dec 2011 - 28 Feb 2012 On or Before 31 May 2013 By 31 May 2013
1 March - 31 May 2012 On or Before 31 August 2013 By 31 August 2013
after 1 June 2012 After 31 August 2013 After August 2013

*Review Date: Please note that the Review Date means the date by which your file will be reviewed by

an officer. It does not mean that your file will necessarily be finalized by that date.


I mentioned in the email that my medicals have expired and the reply was that they will only ask a very small number of people to redo their medicals and that I shouldn't worry about that.

My timeline is:

Application sent: July 2011
Meds done: Nov 2011
Status on Ecas: Application Received ( They have also received my meds in Nov 2011)

I hope this information helps

Do you think it is easy to enroll in a PHD program there?
You can send me a PM if you want..
Thanks,
1. Hi speednab. I am glad to hear that 80% will be done by end of Feb. That's a great news. Would you like to share the details of the email please?

2. It may be different for different department, but for my mcgill experience, if you are eligible for scholarships such as NSERC, prof will be after to hire you as a Ph.D (at least it was like that in engineering department, given that you have reasonable academic/research background).

Keep in touch!

Hi,
1. ..."We cannot say with certainty that your file will be finalized by the end of February 2013, but our standard is to have 80% of cases in your category finalized by that date"...

2. Thank you for the valuable info

Dear friends, (Already posted in another thread, so this is for those who might miss it)

The famous facebook group "Les oubliés de buffalo en action" met with the directors of CIC ottawa centre, and here is the interview. It gives us hope. (english translation by BING is below the french version) You can visit their facebook page to see the actual post.




1 - AUCUN dossier n'est perdu. Même les dossiers inactifs (qui sont restés sans réponse aux demandes de documents complémentaires) et qui ont été archivés peuvent être ressortis. Si votre député vous dit que vous n'apparaissez pas dans le système, il faut lui demander de faire vérifier dans les deux systèmes informatiques (nouveau et ancien), la date de naissance, le nom, le pays d'origine et l'ID client suffisent pour vous retrouver.

2 - L'échéancier publié est réalisable. La majorité des dossiers seront traités dans les délais annoncés.

3 - Pour la plupart des dossiers qui sont faciles à traiter, l'attribution à un agent d'Ottawa déclenche la finalisation du dossier (e-brune ou CRP : le fameux courriel vous invitant à envoyer soit le passeport, soit les photocopies). On aura dons les premières réponses en Févier 2013. Pour les dossiers qui demandent des informations complémentaires, un agent vous contactera dans les mêmes délais.

4 - Les e-cas ne sont pas mis à jour par les agents, c'est un système automatisé qui va être remplacé alors on ne se fie pas trop à ça.
Proceedings of the forgotten/CIC meeting the meeting lasted more than an hour. We met with the directors of the Ottawa pilot centre. They listened with attention to the sum of financial, psychological, galleys, etc...They brought many answers to our questions.

English version

1 - No folder is lost. Even the inactive folders (which are unanswered requests for additional documents) and which have been archived can be identified. If your MP tells you that you are not on the system, ask him to check in two computer systems (old and new), date of birth, the name and the country of origin and client ID are enough to get.

2 - The published timetable is feasible. The majority of the files will be processed in the advertised processing time.

3 - For most files that are easy to treat, the attribution to an Ottawa agent raises the finalisation of the folder (e-Brown or CRP: the famous email inviting you to send either passport or photocopies). It will be gifts the first responses in February 2013. For folders that require additional information, an agent will contact you within the same timeframe.

4 - E-cas are not updated by the agents, it is an automated system that will be replaced so it does not rely too much on it.

I hope this gives us lot of good news in the coming month.......

Hi, I thought it's important to share it here (info from our Facebook page). You should write ASAP to Nadine (you can find her email here facebook.com/LesOubliesDeBuffaloEnAction/posts/149382511883856) if you fall under one of the following situations:

1. You received your CSQ in 2010;
2. You are pregnant, you are in Canada and do not have government medical insurance.

You should include the following information in the message:
1) Name
2) Date of birth
3) Client id number
4) Date of CSQ
5) Country of origin

My application has disappeared from ECAS. :eek: ::) ??? I have 2 applications, one filed under FSW, many insane years ago and one under QSW, and both were visible until last week. But now, my QSW application cannot be seen. Last status message under QSW was "Medicals Received". Now i can only see the FSW application. Anyone in this forum has had similar experience? This thing is making me jittery... :'(

I have the feeling that Ottawa neglects QSW applicants... :'(
a lot of other PNP applicants already got their ppr or passport request
