Hey All

I am back! So, I have been waiting 16 months with NEWS today from Kingston finally! They requested updates from hubby with police certificate, birth certificate, marriage, medical and payment for PR fee... does this mean... it may be soon! Any insight?
Congrats Chnkymnky!! KGN asking for docs is a good thing bc it means that they picked up your file and are actually working on it. Now just get it all in to them pronto!! Do you care to share your time line with us? When did you apply and when did you get sponsorship approval?

Hi Jamfam!

Just wondering if anyone else has had to wait on getting notes...Mine were supposed to be here on Sept 19th...1 week late so far...what's the longest anyone has had to wait past the 30 day mark? and what if they don't come...even though they are paid for?

I'm wondering if the request might have gotten lost in the POS shuffle...I hope not :(

I ordered mine on August 19th and I got them last week on the 18th...so not sure if you happened to fall into the group where there was a delay. Some people have been waiting a couple weeks longer. You can always email them to see what the hold up is

Hi Mrs. P. I would send an e-mail like sammy suggested, they will usually respond fairly quickly to advise you of the delay. I only ordered our notes once and on day 31 ;) I sent an e-mail and got the notes 2 days later. Your request would not be "lost" per se, in the POS shuffle, but perhaps delayed a bit.......just speculating. If I recall correctly the ATIP folks do have a disclaimer saying that sometimes they are delayed in receiving the info. due to circumstances outside of their control or something along those lines. I have not read of anyone's notes being late more than a week or so.......not to say it could not happen, I just do not recall anyone waiting that long. For e-mail copies anyways, not sure about snail mail. Blessings.

There has actually been a huge delay for notes as many people have been ordering them. There is a thread on here about it. Some have been waiting almost 4 weeks after they have requested them.

MrsP - my last notes were late about 2 days. My next ones are due on or about Oct 5th so cannot help you out. Ugh frustrating when you are waiting even for notes!! You will get them when you are in JA visiting :)

I ordered notes August 8 and received it September 10 via email...and I paid with a cheque to know how much times they will take to cash it...they cash it on August 22.

28-11-2014 coming home with me!
Just thought I would give you guys an update.

Things with my son have escalated to a very dangerous point since we returned from Jamaica. Unfortunately what I thought would be good for him has turned into the worse. He misses my husband, his "teddybear" more than ever.

So I went to my MP's office this morning and explained the situation and she was very sympathetic and told me she would do everything in her power to find out what was happening with our file. I just got off the phone with her and she told me that our file had been marked for "expedited processing" but as of yet the file is still pending initial review. That is why ECAS hasn't been updated and we haven't heard anything up to this point. I was told that she was making an urgent request but didn't think anything would be done with that. I was also told that my Sponsorship approval date was actually October 15, 2013. My notes that I ordered back in May said due date of October 23. So I am assuming that they probably won't even look at the file before that date.

Anyway, my husbands medicals expired in May of this year so I guess we should just go ahead and have him redo them next week because they will upload the report the sameday to immigration. That way, the docs will all be up to date.

Sorry, its not really good news I have to share, but at least I know where I stand....kind of.

Oh Lexi...I am so sorry to hear this. I know that this was one of your fears about going down there...if I remember.

I am glad that your MP is going to try and do whatever they can to help you and I really hope that they do something

Yes....get those meds redone so they have them and you don't need to waste time later getting them.

From what I have been on here and also from my notes...i don't thnk they follow the bring forward date at all. So I am praying that they do something on your file before that.

Damn....why can't CIC see that kids need ther parents - both sets...even if they are Step parents. Families need to be together!!!

i just have a question...does anybody know how long after going to in process before the end arrives...where passport is requested and returned?
i am having another one of those days where i have been told yet again another friend in our parish has been shot and killed. that would make 6 friends murdered in the last 6 months. i worry about my husband, not that he runs with the wrong crowd, but they pree him, his house, his life...i want him out of there ASAP!!!!

i would just like to know what the others experienced...was it 3 months 1 month...
