I am sorry that you're experiencing the same situation like us. Our file was transferred from Buffalo to Ottawa on July 7, 2012. Nothing from Ottawa or LA yet. My spouse is from China too. We should have gone through Beijing and it would have been done long time ago. Hope we'll all hear something very soon.cindy-cn said:

I totally understand your frustration. My spouse attempted the visitor's visa last spring but was declined. Then you could just walk in and get an answer the same day. Now you have to apply by mail and might take a couple of months too. But good luck with that if you decide to do it. I just contacted my MP. Hope to get something from them soon.cindy-cn said:Nothing yet. I can not be patient any more! So frustrating! It is not normal time by now.At least they should inform us about something,but nothing! I'm considering about Traveling-Visa now.Everything is a mess with me now.
Someone from Canada should really have to go to China and learn what Efficiency is!
I contacted my MP's office and got only: file is in Ottawa waiting to be reviewed(we already know that!). Can do another inquiry if we don't hear anything in 3 months!cindy-cn said:
I was wondering how did you find out your file was transferred to LA from Ottawa on Sept. 7th?
I wrote E-mails to OttPilot-immigration@cic.gc.ca in Aug,after more than a month i got their reply saying"^^^^I have reviewed your case now, it was transferred to LA on September 7th^^^^LA will contact you^^^^" .AW2011 said:I contacted my MP's office and got only: file is in Ottawa waiting to be reviewed(we already know that!).

But I haven't heard anything from LA ,though I also wrote them E-mails.I don't have MP,all the information I have to get by myself.I kind of regret about applying here too, If I did this in Guangzhou,China, today everything would be all right. It's no use thinking about that.At least you have your MP who can help you check about your case all the time.However, I'm thinking the only thing they can do is send inquiry e-mail as I did? Or call CIC? I tried but couldn't get through.I guess your MP may do that.Somebody with good luck talked with a nice lady and got practical information.
Good luck to you!
How do you not have an MP? Where will you live when you come to Canada? Your MP will be from there. Contact them, it will help!!cindy-cn said:I wrote E-mails to OttPilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca in Aug,after more than a month i got their reply saying"^^^^I have reviewed your case now, it was transferred to LA on September 7th^^^^LA will contact you^^^^" .

Oh my god! I just found out about MP.AT first I thought "Mp" related to your layer's office. I don't have any agency for my case, that's why I said "I don't have a MP".parker24 said:How do you not have an MP? Where will you live when you come to Canada? Your MP will be from there.

I read some information on the internet, but I'm still a little confused. I applied my case to Mississauga first, after they approving the sponsor, my case was transferred to Buffalo and then to Ottawa, now in LA.
Who shall I contact, and what's the steps? Is this really going to help me with the case? Thank you very much.
In our case, it doesn't help. At least not yet. I wrote up a nice letter explaining how overdue our file is. They came back with the information we already know(just file is in Ottawa waiting to be reviewed) and told us to make contact again if we don't hear anything in another 3 months. MP can only inquire the status of your case but he or she can not speedy up CIC's process. You can have your husband contact his MP in Canada but don't put too much hope on it.cindy-cn said:
Thanks for your quick reply.My husband is living with me in USA right now.He doesn't know about the "MP" stuff eitherAW2011 said:
Maybe they know more details? On the CIC's website, nothing updated.Anyway,since no good news come up, I may try it tomorrow.Pretty late, good night. Thanks again.At least they told you that they transferred your file to LA. When I emailed them, I received a generic reply that due to large volume of files they themselves would contact me if there is a need. I'm now passed 13 months and I envy those who get done quickly. This process is wearing me down to be honest. Also since they're processing it for so long my meds and clearances would be expired and then they would make me pay again to get new ones, as if I was not jobless for long enough and not very financially well to pay for new ones again.cindy-cn said:
I‘m sorry about your situation.Would you mind telling me your scheduled interview date? It's tough enough for us. I totally understand your feeling since my plan is such a mess.My meds was made in last Oct, it would be expired soon.Quince777 said:At least they told you that they transferred your file to LA.

Hi Everyone, I am in the same boat except I have not even had an interview or anything. I just ordered CAIPS notes for my file but it's going to be a full year on 10/27/2012. Based on the application timeline, does anyone have any idea when the case might be transferred to LA or be approved ? I know it would only be a guess but I'm frustrated like everyone else and getting very impatient as I thought CIC was better than USCIS but it seems like they are worse.
