May 2014 CEC-PR Applications

[ashek1520]

Hi nitingh,
Thanks for your detailed reply.
I have not submitted my PCC as yet. I have heard from other co-worker, who had applied and got PR that they have never gotten request for PCC. So I thought I might not need it.
Do u suggest I should get it done and send it.
In GCMS, I dont see any place for second review. Do all application go through 2nd review, or it happens only when application did not pass through the first review.
I want to be a little more careful, because I am expecting baby in Sept 1st week and my visa/permit is expiring on 11th Sept. Don't want to go through any unnecessary problem.
I think from the day one get RPRF to the day one land, it takes close to 3 months. what happens when my work permit expires in between those days. Will I be allowed to work, will my health card etc. be valid during that duration?

Thanks,
Abhishek

I don't understand what is stopping you from renewing your work permit?
Is that little extension fee the problem?
This is the most important thing. It is a 3 month process and you should apply for it 4 months before expiry, unless you enjoy suffering from unnecessary pressure.
There are lots of rules like implied status,
but man are you looking for trouble,
while you could do it in an easy way. So apply for it now

Any May applicant still waiting for MR? I'm May 29th and still hear nothing back :'(

Hey Zoey! I'm in the same situation. May 28th applicant. Haven't heard anything from CIC since then. I did my medicals for Express Entry application. So I'm just waiting. I called the call centre. The agent confirmed that timeframe of 13 month on the web-site is not accurate. It's updated quarterly, and next update should push it higher. They see 14-15 months as average processing time. So we just need to have more patience. I know it can be nerve-wrecking. Hugs.

Dont take any risks, and apply for new BWP. Specially since it takes them 3 months now to process applications.
My work permit experies on August 11th, and I got my medical and RPRF June17th. But I still applied for extension of work permit beggining of June because you never know what can happen.
So my advise is to go online today, and apply for new work permit. Spec because you're pregnant!

Thanks for your suggestions ljiljka007 and Nick666.
I am submitting application for BOWP.

While going through the process I realized that I need to submit one IMM5257E for me and one for my wife.
In some earlier post I saw that I need to submit IMM5257 form. Little confused if there is any change.
Also in the form IMM5257E,
it asks for "purpose of visit" with option such as returning work, how long u want to stay etc., what should I fill there?

I am applying for BOWP for me and my spouse (who is here on spousal open work permit). Based on the questionare I think my spouse too needs to fill IMM5257E form and in one application all the documents needs to be submitted.

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong, I just dont need to make any mistake and suffer, based on the wait time, I feel anyway I shall be on implied status for some time.

Even I am on the same boat. I am may 14th applicant .. Losing Hope

My 2nd review due date is July 10. Whens yours? I know I'm losing hope in this whole thing too. I called the agent and she said she has sent the VO a note to see why its taking so long and told me to wait for their reply. I doubt i'll get anything. Arwy and Amrinder123 - we should keep in touch to see when they get MR.

I'm starting to get my PNP application in just in case.

They didn't ask me for PCC. I submitted it from the beginning of my application.

Hi guys, need your help. I did my medicals on June 19th, and my Dr showed a receipt showing submitted to CIC on June25th. However, I called CIC today to check status and the agent said that the Medicals hasn't been updated in the system When I explained the dates, the agent said it can take up to 3 months (!!!) for the medicals to be updated in CIC system, even if the Doctor has sent it. No clue what that means ! By saying that she made sure I dont call again till Sept19th.
Has this happened to anyone else? If eMedical receipt shows Jun25th upload date, why does CIC say they don't have it yet?

Below is my timeline:

1. AOR received on Jun 2014
2. Ecas:
2.1. We received your application on May 2, 2014.
2.2. We started processing your application on June 06, 2015
3. Medical Requested - June6, 2015
4 RPRF request on Jun12th and paid on Jun 17th
5. I did my Medical 19-June-2015.
6. Dr sent to CIC on 25th June-2015

7. Waiting for PPR for 18 days since medicals uploaded. Called CIC and they said medicals yet to be received.

When we receive MR is when ecas status changes to We start processing your application (date)?

It is normal.
Call center just tells you general info that everyone knows, not what is really happening.
Based on the CIC web site, it can take up to 3 months after medical, to go to the next stage of processing.
But based on our experience, for us as delayed applications, it will take a lot less, usually days or weeks to appear on your online status.
You will see "medical received" once a CIC officer opens your file and approves medical.

If you need more accurate answer, you should send an email to your processing center.
We have been waiting for months for small steps, you need to be patient

Thanks, I don't mind waiting. Just wanted to know why the agent would say that, and whether I need to verify again with the Panel Doctor that he uploaded correctly.
And in my case, I am diabetic and hence am wondering if CIC has an additional step for the medicals to be reviewed by their doctors before sending to the case officer.
I will try sending an email to CPC after a few days.
