INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[computergeek]

Found this in a quote from an online article:

"The strike is meant to back up the demands of employees making an average of $86,000 a year who say they want "equal pay" with colleagues who they believe do similar diplomatic work but make up to $14,000 more."

OK, so let me get this straight, they are having a strike and screwing around with peoples lives when they AVERAGE $86,000 a year. That is unbelievable. The fact that they can walk away from their jobs when they are 3x above the poverty line disgusts me to new levels.

On a positive note, today is the day the update the processing times...errrrrr well they're supposed to update them, but we all know how that goes =).

Try living in London or Paris or Rome on $86k per year. Frankly, I wouldn't work in Islamabad for $86k - the Canadian mission there is an armed fortress and diplomatic staff and their families are required to live in the compound. When you leave the compound, you must do so in armored vehicles. A friend of mine stationed in Pakistan was describing all of this to me recently... no thanks. Not for $86k per year.

That may be far above the poverty line, but someone with the necessary skills to take a diplomatic posting abroad AND the willingness to do so deserves to be treated well.

Yes! Sponsor receives an email with an acknowledgment of receipt so check your email.

Yes, I can. I do however have problems after I log in since I'm using an iPad, so all the info don't snow, but I'm still able to log in. Are you having trouble with it?

Looks like they updated their page to show better on iPads (but didn't do a good job), when I log in on the iPad it doesn't show as well (actually it load it, but because of the way it's formatted, it doesn't display).

You'll be able to view it from PC.

Not necessarily, because I hold a post graduate work permit and a visa, which allows me to stay in canada for the entire validity period of my permit. I can go in and out of canada as much as I like during this period of time bcs of my permit and multiple entry visa.

@ortom

Hi ortom,

I have a post graduate work permit too expiring Nov 2013. On the bottom of my permit, it says "This does not authorize re-entry."
Is yours like this too? I've been travelling in and out of Canada with this visa, and they never questioned me on this (before sending Inland PR Application).

I've submitted my application Nov 2012 and received AOR December 2012. Do you think it is risky if I want to go to Vegas for 4 days considering my current work permit expires Nov 2013??

I think this is my first post in this thread so here my/our timeline

Application sent : May 1st,2013
Application received: May 6th,2013
AOR : May 15th,2013
Started processing : May 15th,2013

I also applied for a visitor extension in March(since my visa was going to expire May 1st, and thats when we sent out the appli. but they received it days later so I wasnt sure about the implied status.anyways) I havent heard anything back from CiC even though the website is saying that theyre working on appl received April 14th.So I gave them a call and found out they sent my extension to the wrong adress. But they gave me 1 year I only asked for a couple months but I got 12 since I was already talking to an agent(a nice one ,for the first time) I figured I might as well ask about the family sponsorship proc. time. She said its true what the website is sayinh,that they have a backlog and are still working on some october applications. She said they cant change the date on the website until a decision is made on ALL applications received october 8th or earlier. So lets say one VO is really slow or having a hard time because of missing documents etc then thats the reason while its still stating october 8th,it doesnot mean that all the other VO arent working on applications received after october 8th.

^ That is very encouraging that it could only be one slow poke holding the date back. But, no one (on here anyways) is gettin AIP's so I don't know if they are working past October 8th at all.

Lucky you I extended my stay as a visitor but was only given 3 months!

October the 12th yaay...... so much better than the 8th, slowly we are moving.

 

[CANUSA31]

aaahhhhhhahahaha. wtf are u actually serious. I think I'd rather the date go backwards 4 days than move ahead 4 days. That is so small it's not even funny.
