Hi Guys,

Im 8th May 2014, DD applicant. I got PER on 14th August 2014. Currently, my ECAS status is "In Process". Can anyone tell me what does "In Process" means and what will be the next step? If they will request for Medical then for how long do i have to wait for it now?

Thanks

vinayrao,
I'm just curious if your file got transferred from the CIO to CPC-Ottawa. If no, then how do you expect to get the MR?
O. O.

hi buddy O.O.... That is the reason i have asked for AOR too in the post... as per posts on this forum we have to get AOR / MR after the PER? ...

What is your case ? , which stage you are in?

Thanks,
Vinay

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers.

the whole process is soooooo unpredictable..nobody knows when and whats gonna happen..!!
fingers crossed....no clue how ppl who got PER 2 months after have got their MR before 1 May applicant... Wondering what algebra did initial applicants put in their applications that NDVO is still not able to solve....
sooo confused...!!

25 days...from Aug 5th to Sep 1st....but yea, I understand your dilemma

nharsh2000 took slightly longer though from Aug 1st to Sep 2nd...so over a month

But both are way fast considering others who are still waiting..i agree

Dear krb:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Your application is being processed in Manila. You should contact our office in Manila should you need to provide updates for any of your information.

Your visa(s) for permanent residence to Canada is/are ready to be issued, conditional to a final admissibility review by an immigration officer.

Your visa(s) will be valid for your initial entry to Canada until 08/-/2015 (mm/dd/yy).

In order to complete the process, you must submit the following:

1. The original passports for yourself and every family member who will accompany you to Canada. Passports must be in good condition. Do not include old/expired passports and passport jackets/covers.

The validity of your passport(s) must be at least six (6) months beyond the visa validity date (note that any passport received with a shorter validity than the date shown above will result in a reduced validity for entry to Canada for all members of your family, if any).

2. Completed Appendix A (attached). Please ensure that you have clearly indicated your file number (Exxxxxxxx), your return address and all contact numbers for delivery purposes.

Change in Family Composition
If any of the following conditions apply to you, your spouse/common-law partner or your sponsor,
You must immediately inform our office in Manila, IN WRITING:

• Have you married, separated or divorced after you submitted your application?
• Have you adopted a child after you submitted your application?
• Do you intend to get married, separate or divorce prior to you becoming a permanent resident?
• Do you intend to adopt a child prior to you becoming a permanent resident?
• Has there been a death in the family?
• Has there been a change in health?
• Has there been any criminal charges or conviction for a criminal offence?
• Have you changed your contact information: e-mail address/mailing address/telephone number?

Failure to declare any changes of the above to the CIC could result in the cancellation of your immigrant visas and may render you and your spouse/common-law partner (if applicable) inadmissible to Canada. Failure to declare dependent family members during your application processing will permanently exclude them from later sponsorship in the Family Class, according to paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations 2002. You cannot declare new or previously undeclared dependants when you arrive in Canada and at the time you become a permanent resident; if you do, you and your family members will all be denied entry into Canada.

If none of the above conditions apply to you, your spouse/common-law partner or your sponsor, you may proceed with the instructions below.

3. Two (2) recent photographs each of yourself and every family member who will accompany you to Canada. Detailed instructions for the photographer are enclosed (Appendix B). Take these instructions to the photographer in order to obtain photographs with the required specifications.

The required documents (Appendix A, passports and photos) must be submitted together thru either of the following options:

1. Visa Application Centres (VACs)

For more information, visit http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Philippines/index.html

2. Courier

To: Embassy of Canada, Visa Section / Unit B Level 6, Tower 2, RCBC Plaza 6819 Ayala Avenue Makati City 1226 Philippines

Your passport(s) with immigrant visa(s), Confirmation of Permanent Residence Form(s), and your original documents will be returned to you by VAC or courier (based on the way it was received).


3. Submitting your passport(s) in Canada (CPC-O) – if applicable

If you and all the accompanying dependents on your application are currently in Canada and plan to be in Canada for at least three months, you may submit your passport(s) to the Case Processing Centre – Ottawa (“CPC-O”). You are required to send your passport(s) together along with a copy of this letter by mail or courier to the following address. If sent by regular mail or Canada Post Xpresspost (recommended option)
CPC – Ottawa
PO Box 9780
Ottawa, ON, K1G 4B9
• Purchase two prepaid letter-sized (32 x 24 cm) Canada Post Xpresspost envelopes (Regional if you live in Ontario or Quebec; National for other provinces and territories), at any Canada Post retail outlet.
• Complete the mailing label showing your full mailing address in the “Deliver To” field.
• Make a note of tracking numbers for each envelope.
• Enclose both envelopes along with your passport and a copy of this letter.
• You can purchase a Canada Post shipping label on line: http://www.canadapost.ca/personal/tools/cst/i ntro-e.asp
If sent by private courier (only)
CPC – Ottawa
365 Laurier Avenue West
Ottawa, ON, K1A 1L1
• If you choose to not provide us with a return Xpresspost envelope, we will return your passport(s) via regular mail (Canada Post Lettermail). Passport(s) will not be returned by private courier. Do not provide any pre-paid courier envelopes: These will not be used.


The validity of a visa may not be extended and cannot be replaced with a new validity date. If you do not arrive in Canada before the date of expiry of your visa, it will be forfeited. If you still wish to go to Canada, you will be required to make a new application for a permanent residence visa (including paying a new application processing fee and meeting all selection and statutory requirements, with the appropriate processing times and delays).

We will make our best efforts to have your passport(s) returned to you with your visa(s) within 90 working days from their receipt. You should not make any plans to travel to Canada until you are in possession of your passports and their required visas.

Please respond within thirty (30) days of this letter or risk refusal of your application.

Anyone....guys!!

Yeah they use the services of Loomis express for delivery from Ontario to Sydney, NS. Just call or mail DHL Canada and ask them to provide you the Loomis reference number so you can track from their side.
I believe it should be delivered by today end of day.

I am 5 days behind you. I don't think CPC-Ottawa issues AOR's. I however think the file transfer would get updated in ECAS before you get the MR. Just my opinion though.
O. O.

I know that the CIO takes a ridiculously long time to reply to emails (about 6 weeks). I am curious if the Visa Offices are quicker. Looking for opinions/experiences. Thanks in advance.
