Hello Guys,
I need some help to decide. Here is the scenario that I had applied under CEC experience class in January 2013. My company promised to apply through tis immgration lawyer and I had agreed. I got my AOR on 6th March and since then did not hear back anything . We plan to get a kid and now we are scared that we might get the medical in the middle of it so kind of getting impatient to know the status as my status in ECAS is "Application Recieved".
I had requested my company lawyer for information , but got a response that he has not heard back. I asked him if we could go for upfront medicals and did not want us to go through it. Then i asked if we can apply for GCMS notes to know the status and that was also denied.When i applied we did not submit NOA since i did not have it then, but we submitted T4, payslips and reference letter from the company . Now since I have it I asked to forward it to CIC but he said we have already submitted enough proof so we shall send it when they ask for it.
Now i got fed up after so many denials and went to meet my local MP office. They are ready to follow up my case but since I had applied through the company lawyer, they want me to decide and get a go ahead after discussing with my company lawyer as CIC might be confused on who to send the status information back. But am skeptical that my company lawyer might agree to let me go with MP's office .
So what should i do now ? Should i wait in blind or go ahead to decide to got with Mp's office which might annoy my company. Help me out with valuable suggestions please.
Thanks!
Ok. A few things. If i remember correctly, NOA is a mandatory requirement on the checklist. Please correct me if I'm wrong - if it is though, there is no reason why the lawyer should wait for a request before sending it.
I am female and my partner (a Canadian) and i agreed that we'd start trying for a baby once the medical request comes in. Obviously it's personal choice but for me, I'd rather not do x-rays while pregnant. My lawyer advised me not to do them upfront.
If I'm honest, your lawyer sounds a little bit lazy. If I were you I'd tell him straight up (and quite firmly) that you want him to agree that you should go to your mp for an update. That's if you want to - I feel it's a little early to be doing this. I'd try telling him that you'll order your gcms notes yourself and if they come to you, he has to show them.
I applied for GCMS notes - I didn't even tell my lawyer. If she asks me what I've done I'll tell her the truth.
Basically whatever you want to do, the lawyer can advise you but can't order you - company lawyer or not.
You applied literally a couple of weeks after me, it's still early so don't get too worried just yet.
I ordered my gcms notes so will post my outcome - should be here end of this week /beginning of next
