Raza,

I actually don't agree on this. I can give you an example of my case. I am not from Pakistan. I have ordered GCMS and they have put my application as Put Away with next review date as 30/06/2015. They have not started any security clearance for my file as per GCMS. So, i feel that it has nothing to do with nationality and country we are from. its just purely random picking and the based on the mood of Visa officer handling the case.
+1 for your reply. Is there any thing else significant in your GCMS notes that you can share.

All, let's be professional for a minute and not let frustrations lead opinions. There have been many examples of applicants that have flown through the process, from all over the country,and the proof is in this forum, just take out the time and go through page by page and you will see answers there. In my opinion there are several variables/factors that determine the speed of an application and there is no definitive answer. My thoughts are bulleted below;

1. Consistency of information in application
2. length of time it take to verify information
3. Response times from other countires
4. Nr of CSE's an individual has made
5. Productivity of the officer.

Applications that are easier for LVO to complete are ones that they home in on as they are quicker and it reduces the remaining number as I'm sure they have measured targets.

In all of this you must remain patient and ensure that in the meantime you are doing whatever you can to wind down.

Hope this helps. There is no point in getting frustrated within and outside this forum, as it changes nothing.

Let's keep talking and by the grace of God and good humans things will happen.
Agree with your points. Factors:

1. File logical composition
2. Travel history
3. Job changes
4. Verifications process
5. Officer workload
6. Certain priorities and policy changes

Dear Fellows,

Alhamdolilah, On Friday 26th June 2015, I collected passports (of self and family) with maple leaf stamps and COPR. This was a process of 2 years and one month to be exact. My time line was as follows

Initial application to CIC, Canada May 2013
PER and File Transfer Oct 2013
Additional Document Request Apr 2014
PPR1 (PCC, RFRF, POF, MR, PP copies) Oct 2014
Medicals Completed (due to request of additional tests of kids) April 2015
PPR2 May 2015
Visa Issued (expiry Dec 2015) June 2015
Landing Somewhere in End Nov

I am of the opinion that the process must have been completed 3 to 4 month earlier, should n't there has arisen the need of further lengthier medical tests of kids, still the process completed with maximum time span of 2 years. I am seeing the posts of the juniors with a lot of frustration. I appeal all to be be persistent, calm and patient and the process will be over soon Insha Allah.


Regards

Hi guys

Some advice from seniors much appreciated.

I have completed my + families medicas last week so I'm hoping to get passport requests within a month.

My current passport expires in March 2016, and our aim is to land in Nov 15. I've been advised to renew my passport but not sure whether there is actually a need or requirement to do so.

Your guidance would be much appreciated.

Thank you

hello guys, need some help with regards to my application. i am a 2013 applicant. Came to know about this forum very late.

my employment verification occured one month ago. it went 50-50 as questions related to my employment went very well but as it was my previous employer so staff has been changed and some people were new like finance officer and administration guys. its been a month since i have heard nothing from LVO. i am from pakistan and the verification call was from islamabad CHC. need help what should be the expected reply afterwards. Why there is a delay from hearing them.

ECAS still showing in process and 2nd line.

Dear,

Better to wait correspondence from LVO. If there was any big issue with verification, they had either made DM in your ECAS or asked you for interview. LVO had its own pace and pattern of work. So be patient and pray from Allah.
