London Visa Office

dear bro..here is ur answer

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) calculates processing times from the day CIC receives an application to the day it makes a decision on the application.

When estimating how long you will wait to receive a temporary visa, you must also take into account up to 10 days of transit or delivery time on top of CIC's processing time. The time your application will spend travelling to and from CIC will vary depending on where you live.

I think the timelines relate to temporary visa not permanent visa

I have same timelines as yours but no second line on ECAS.

Good luck.

Dears,

I have just seen in my ECAS that 2nd line was updated as the following:

1. We received your application for permanent residence on July 3, 2014.
2. We started processing your application on October 23, 2014.

What is supposed for this to mean? I have got the PER on October 28th, 2014, i.e. days after 2nd line.

Best regards,
msibai

Bro this time is for immigration applications

But 18 months will be calculated from which date? Date of application (to CIO) or when the file is transfered to Visa Office (after PER).

Hey everyone got this line updated today.. what does it mean.. plz help..

It means that CIC is processing your application since November 4, 2014 (right before you received PER).

These updates are flooded on ECAS in past 10-15 days and everyone is expecting that now MR and/or additional docs request is near.

Let's pray and hope for the best. All in all its a positive update.

Everyone here is reporting second line update. Is there anyone from Sep applicant other than me waiting for the Second line update even?

 

[managersonline]

I raised CSE in mid June 2015 and got the reply which most of officers in LVO love to send to applicants and in response to CSEs. I shall not tell that reply because most of you have already received it in respone to their CSEs.

Should I send now another CSE now or it will be again useless !!!! What are your suggestions?

 

[msibai]

Its now a trend that LVO is following. I think they give processing date from the date when the file was picked up at CIC Office for PER approval. Do you know who is your VO?

To my knowledge it is RIH, I am not sure if he still takes care of my file.
