INLAND APPLICATIONS 2015

[june1990]

This is probably better in a PM, but I have a few questions here:
- You didn't submit a medical with your application, right? When did you do that medical?
- Does myCIC state that Background Checks are needed and in progress?
- Do you see anywhere that the medical results have passed?

If it makes you feel any better:
March 2 they received my wife's application. They didn't acknowledge it until May 13. They didn't start working on it until May 23.

No, i only submitted the medical this August, im a December 2015 applicant.
And thats the thing, i couldnt view my application because i used a lawyer, i had been trying to link my application to my cic account but its not letting me, i have asked her 3 x since August (after i submitted her those last documents) whats the update, and all she keeps on telling me is to just wait, she didnt even update me if cic already got my medical result or if it was okay.

Anyone with experience rescheduling a landing interview?

If you need to reschedule, contact them right away. Use the email address on the letter or call. They are always good about rescheduling if there is time.

So.. ok...
We submitted without a lawyer, upfront medical (it expired 3 days ago, but was accepted as passed (we knew it passed 2 days after it was done -- the doctor emailed us to let us know that) September 29. They requested a PCC from Russia August 10 and had it via CSE August 20th or something. They received the original copy September 6.

In ECAS we only have the sponsorship application in progress, and the PR application is application received. In myCIC the PR application is open, and the BG checks have been in progress since June or July. Nothing else appears to be in progress. That said, I did get an update from my MP the other day, because I was angry at the ATIP clerks (they were very, very late with my GCMS notes....). That update was they are just waiting on Security and Criminality checks to finish.

We have not heard from CIC at all other than AOR and the rogue PCC request that no one could tell me where it came from.. Yet, it sounds like we are almost done. Am I worried? nah. If CIC wants something, they will ask. Otherwise, we will get there. We will land when we land. We too will have a landing party, just like everyone here should. Not at all worth worrying about.

In your case, I disagree with using a lawyer that won't work with you. That means meaningful updates, not just dismissing the request for an update.

EDIT: I am also surprised that your lawyer would not make you aware of how important the speed at which you replied to their document request is. They are using that to prioritise your application..... Taking nearly the full 60 days was a bad idea. We responded in less than 30.

how long does it take to get AIP after SA?

Lately it's been with in a few days. Some never get it...and go straight to landing. It's been all over the place lately. Be watching your emails.

Thanks for your response. I am anticipating that I might need a reschedule hence was checking. Do they give the rescheduled date right on the phone or do you need to wait? Hope it is not a flag of sorts?

I don't understand why you are stressed so much being Dec 2015 applicant. Some people here applied in June 2015 and still waiting.

I think I'm allowed to feel whatever i wanted to feel.
Everyone is in different situation, and i have my reasons why..
Having to said that, i know people who even applied January of 2015 and still no DM and im very much aware of that, Thank you.

Cic requested for my police clearance on June, but my lawyer gave it to me first week of july, i have to wait 6 weeks for the whole processing of that document. The only thing i dont like about her is that i didnt hear anything specific about my application, she's just always telling me to wait, like i said i dont even know if cic already got my medical results or if it was okay

Well, You should divorce your lawyer. I don't normally make that assertion -- but here it's advisable. Understood that it took 6 weeks to get it, but under SIR guidelines, they are prioritising cases based on how fast clients respond with documents after requested. So, you may have been moved down the queue as a result. Your lawyer stands to lose nothing by this happening to you.

As for medical results being ok -- it really won't matter as long as there is no public safety problem. In spousal sponsorships they do waive the excessive demand rules. Not that I believe there is a problem WRT your case here, but as long as there is no public safety concern (which the physician would have already advised you and given you a treatment path to follow), your medical results will be fine.

@kapilhere, @june1990: As I have said numerous times. Cases are not being processed in chronological order. That would be a virtual impossibility. If they were, CIC would admit maybe 100 cases a year. There is no temporal connection to the cases being processed. They are connected by groupings that CIC has assigned them.

A typical queue, like one you would find at a government office or a bank is known as a first-in-first-out queue -- a FIFO. If you went to the bank, and the person in front of you was told to go to the corner for 30 minutes, would the bank stop processing customers from the queue? The reality is no. The bank would go out of business. Consider that 30 minutes to be something like a civil document request, or a medical. Now, would you want to have to wait for that person to finish that time? When the event is completed, they end up back in the queue after a number of other cases have been addressed. Meaning there is entropy applied to the timing. The only reason it may appear that cases are processed in order is because of the groupings CIC was using in the past. They would rarely be processed in order.

That said, every case has it's own unique challenges. That means that every case will also have a unique timeline. So, although I understand that people want to complete the process as fast as possible, and they feel jealousy or upset when others after them complete the process, it's all relating to the challenges contained within the case.

So, celebrate with the people and posters whom you have commiserated with. It's not their desire or fault that their case had challenges that could be overcome quickly.

I am complaining on this forum too and hopefully I will get a landing interview next week

Congrats! When did you apply?

I totally understand that, i saw people who applied early this year and got their DM..
Maybe its a matter of luck, or they pray so hard, whatever it is im not sure.
But im happy for the people who got their dm, and i feel just as much frustration to those who still havent and been waiting for it..
My daughter havent seen her grandparents yet, and as much as we wanted to go back for a vacation, we are advised not to leave the country, which is why im really upset, but i understand why.

It depends on your country of origin. You can leave -- Canada isn't a prison. It's the CBSA that you might have trouble with, not CIC. Some have brought their PR applications with them just in case. Not that I am suggesting you do any of these things, but if you feel the need to, you can by all means do it.

One thing my wife and I did here when she was missing home was, we got her mom a Multiple Entry Visitor Visa (we plan to commute this to a parent Supervisa once the PR is done). We booked her on a plane, and we hosted her while she was here. It's not the same as being back home, but it was enough comfort that my wife could carry on. I am not sure if this would be an option, but something to at least consider.
