Dear Friends,
I would like to inform you that my journey came to an end. With all your prays and help, my friend (in USA) got my passports with visa last Thursday and i am supposed to receive them myself in the coming week.
Here is my timeline, maybe it can be useful for some people and dear admins, please update the spreadsheet according to the following timeline:
- Application received by CIO: 10/5/2013
- PER: 9/7/2013
- MRR & Documents Request: 3/10/2013
- Medical tests done: 5/10/2013
- Medical Received on ECAS: 17/10/2013 (Around this date, don't remember it exactly)
- Complete Documents Received by CPP-O: 10/1/2014
- PPR: 8/2/2014
- Decision Made on ECAS: 9/2/2014
- Passports Received by Visa Office: 12/2/2014
- Passports (with visa) & COPR shipped from Ottawa: 17/2/2014
- Passports Arrived to my Friend's Address in USA: 20/2/2014.
My visa is valid till 12/10/214, which is 1 year almost from my medical tests. Also, in their email they requested all the family passports and my wife's passport returned with no visa, as she's European, so visa is not required for her to enter Canada, but they sent her COPR.
Also, as i noticed (with some friends), that the PPR email i got was according to a new system different than the emails requesting of applicants passports received before. one of the differences that they didn't ask for our photos to be sent with the passports.
What i want to say also, that the guys at CIC are so understanding people. It's not only procedures and regulations, they are still human beings who are studying our cases and they understand if something wrong is going with our documents and it's out of our hands. This happened to me as i sent some documents after 2 given dead lines but they understood this was out of my hands.
Wish all the best for all our friends here who are waiting for their next step and i will try to keep you updated with my landing procedures (which actually i didn't decided it when i will do it).
my last words for you, guys ..... [size=14pt]Be patient and always, always keep the faith
