Idima is right, dear Balkanada..we all are feeling this anxiety..it is very disturbing..i actually wake up at 2 or 3 in the night to read something new from here..relax man..the good things are coming..:)

Thanks idima and others... I hope I already moved to 2nd stage - I'm not checking the CIC at all anymore, just this forum, but only at ~hourly basis (I have to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep up :P)
 
The way I see all this waiting game now, is like playing a lottery.

I bought a lottery ticket. Quite an expensive ticket though. :P
Nothing depends on me now, I made my bet and only have to wait the lottery results.

If I win it will be great, if not it was still worth to try my chances.

But I don't want to bet all my life and future on this wager.
As somebody said here before when one door closed, 100 others are still opened.

I called my credit card company just now and they say that if the security system asks for a password, they would not be able to disable it. I requested them to allow international transactions till end of July but they refused to do so. I am in a spot here. What to do ?

Don't do anything it will go through believe me.... In CIC transaction no password/no 3d secure blah blah... Required .... They have different gateway..... Don't worry and concentrate on waiting and cap update...:-)
 
I's just walking through some website (NOT CIC OFFICIAL WEBSITE, but seems reasonably trustworthy), got the following information:

Once the file gets to the visa office (which usually takes 2 to 4 weeks) your ECAS status will read “Received by visa office”.

5) 2nd AOR from visa office

Once your application arrives at the visa office, they will sit on it for a while. When they are in a position to process it most visa offices will send you a 2nd AOR. Please see the link at the top for an example of this, from Manila office and the wordings vary from visa office to visa office. Also some offices send by email, and others send by snail mail. There is still no need to do anything at this stage. A few visa offices, most notably London, will not send a 2nd AOR at all but will skip this and go straight to medicals, or ask for further documentation.

Good post. I believe your ecas status is still not updated? I am thinking that they are waiting for certain # of London Applications before sending them over or maybe the Strike is effecting.

Hello Everyone..Just got an SMS that my CC is charged for 1100 CAD by immigration Canada.Thanks to almighty.

Just few things to clear some dust on few questions:

1). I have sent the class 10 th Mark-sheet as proof for Birth certificate (For Indian applicants).
2). I have informed my bank well in advance for approval of this transaction and told them no need to confirm if ttransaction happens from CIC etc.I am taking full responsibility if something goes wrong.

Hope this helps :)

congrats...

Yeah, ECAS is showing "In Process" and "We received your application for permanent residence on May 08, 2013". I envisage to have the file transferred to London VO by mid Aug.....let see.
 
Please update, i got my cc charged too. Monday July 15 at 1:21 pm Nova Scotia Time

Kudos to all the admins for their outstanding job on maintaining the spreadsheet.
 
This page is really making it easy to count days, being happy for all who got CC/DD charged, per and AOE
and hope for the best for myself. Very good job admins on spread sheet, will you mind to freeze till working days?
