Hi guys,
Today I finally received the golden email!! I´m so happy that the long wait is over!
I´m an FSW-inland applicant (AOR 29th NOV), my application was in Montreal up until March/April ( I´m not sure because my notes haven´t arrived yet), but then it was transferred to Hamilton-On on May. Today, I received an email scheduling the interview for next week at Niagara Falls.
Thank you very much for this forum! Please, for those who are still waiting don´t lose hope!
Congrats

Hi, congratulations on your approval. My timeline seems similar to yours. 2 months in Sydney, 4 months in Montreal, then transferred to Edmonton sometime last month. Received and responded to ADR about 2 weeks ago. Applied inland but now out of Canada due to visa expiry. My status from call last week says Review Required and the agent volunteered to put a note in my file calling for action.
Im just a little past 6 months but i'm still anxious, especially because of the Review required and i have no idea how Edmonton works. I was planning to wait for a few more weeks but do you think there's anything i can do to speed up the process or obtain more clarity?
I applied for GCMS notes nearly a month ago but i'm not sure it will cover the most recent information and another will take a month.
For inland, i feel the best way to speed up the process is to go to the MP.

You might want to still try reaching out to your MP office via email or phone. They are usually quite helpful.

In addition to emailing Ahmed.Hussen@parl.gc.ca about the delay in Montreal, let's also email CBC (torontotips@cbc.ca). Just include some general information about your case (timeline, time of transfer, etc.), although news organizations treat information as confidential anyways.

For other CBC locations:

Hi is this a valid email address to inquire for our application ? Ahmed.Hussen@parl.gc.ca . Also does some case officer reply to such emails.
Thanks in advance. I am thinking to email too. Going to reach 6 month mark soon without any news on my application.

no no no. Ahmed Hussen is the minister of immigration for Canada. This is email of his office. He won't be giving you case specific information. I was suggesting emailing him for complaints about the general unfairness of this entire process and the stress it causes (health impacts!).

Check your application portal, they will give you the option of uploading a document.

Procedural Fairness letters are serious issues and should be taking as such. If you are in Canada, I will suggest you reach out to your MP about this

Have sent passports..yet waiting for COPR letter..our old medicals are valid till 23rd july but during our last call the agent said that medical extension was requested..so lets see how much extension we get.
Do you mean the IRCC call center agent requested for medical extension? or is it your consultant/attorney who requested for an extension? Did you get an update reg. your extension? I want to know under what circumstances can we request for medical extension and the process as I may also end up in such a situation because of Montreal :)

I am confused i called in this morning to get the status and the agent told me that my processing office is Vancouver. My GCMS notes display it as Montreal as the primary office.

Anyone else experienced this?
