this is a totally different kind of application. I applied for a work permit under the live-in caregiver program the first time on March 8th but my application was denied cuz i didnt prove i had enough experience (which i totally do, btw) so i reapplied adding recommendation letters from my former employers on April 16th... when i called the Visa Application Centre in Mexico city they said it took an average of 30-40 working days so, eight weeks... but its been 10 weeks already and i already sent a specific case enquiry, AND called the VAC again... their answer was just "please be patient, your application is still in process" but how long will i wait??? the family im supposed to work for, are getting desperate and i dont have an answer for them because the embassy is not giving me anything yet!
has someone applied and gotten their TRV/WP after the strike begun??

So my husband and I are still waiting to see if they have the extra documents requested :'( I feel so desperate, I was hoping he would be able to jump on the plane with us in wig but that was wishful thinking.... Now I can only hope for October .... But as we will need a ARC .... Who knows... Anyways we have verbal confirmation from USPS that it was delivered on the 22 of may at 17:46 .... I meani had his file number in there along with a little hand-written letter and so they should've known where its at but we still haven't heard. I sent them a case inquiry last Wednesday and usually they respond in week but nothing as of tonight :( anyone know what I can do? I have contacted my MP but I haven't given them our info because I'm not sure if its beneficial? What can the MP do? Or is it government pressure??
**we are currently in El Salvador .... Since 2009 we have been seeing each other for Canadian summers (April -August) bcuz of this it's unlikely they will question out relationship right?
And after document requests what happens? Will it be the ARC next?

Hi there again!
Just wondering because I thnk we all get desperate with the wait. Has anyone recently sent the PGR letter to the Embassy (having completed everything else) and how long did it take you to get the PPR. It has been around a month that my wife sent that letter and no updates yet. I know that there is a strike but does anyone have an idea of the average time for a response? and to ask for the passport?
Thank you, this is a great forum!

Hi,
That's good you know they have received it, how long ago was your application transferred to mexico city?

The MP can contact CIC Ottawa and find out the last thing that was done on your file and inputted into the system. Everytime they do anything to your file they need to put it into the computer system so cic Ottawa has access to this and that's what the MP can get. If you have a really good MP sometimes they can contact Mexico City directly if its urgent.

The ARC will be requested after everything else is approved, relationship evidence, criminality, medical interview waived or completed etc. than the ARC will be requested and following that you will get the Passport request.
I know a lady that just did an ARC and hers took only 1 month and 3 days to approve, instead of the average 2 months. so that's a good sign!!

A girl I know that is going through Mexico just got her PPR. after only 1 month wait from sending in the ARC.

Usually the arc takes 2 months to process, so that's a good sign applications aren't being delayed because of the strike :)
Aaaahhh, it´s such a relief to read your post! Yes, I read on the web this strike affects mostly tourist and work visa applications... I took my PGR certificate to the Embassy three weeks ago now and haven´t heard from them yet but something tells me this is just normal. My husband´s coming to Mexico in a week so that has helped a lot too to keep my mind off this whole thing. ;D

lol good!
Yeah I have a few friends who aren't on this forum and going through the process that I know for sure are getting correspondence, and some that are hearing things but its taking longer than expected. So at least we know they are still working!!

yeah 3 weeks is still a normal wait time after sending in the PGR.

Oh nice! that's great! its good that hes coming to visit, you can take an immigration vacation! :) those are much needed throughout the process 8)

We got the AOR on May 1st. We know they received it but they are saying they didn't receive it and still haven't responded to the message we sent giving them the tracking number.... The criminality part is where they request fingerprints? Or is that with the ARC?
Thanks for your response :)

Hmm that's a pain, They probably lost it and are trying to find it and make it seem like your fault, I have yet to see the embassy admit when they lose someones documents


yes the criminality is when they request the police checks
but they will do another criminality and security check when reviewing the arc as well.

the embassy will send you a letter with instructions by mail, not by email, if you don't give the embassy letter to the PGR office you can't get the PGR letter
