Medicals were done on May 13, I did an MP inquiry 3 weeks ago and found out that NDVO has not touched my file yet, and it was still waiting for "initial review", but interestingly my MP said that the medicals expire June 13 so it appears that they extended the medicals ::) ::)

I heard one can do MP enquiry by sending email to MP. Is it true ?

The worst problem is different time zones, my husband starts his job when I get free and I start my job when he gets free, always waiting for weekends, its a completely inhuman insane process, either they should deny taking people from outside or they should do this fairly, why there is no check on them, y Canadian citizens don't raise their voice against the system, it seems like people aren't aware of their rights, everybody seems to be afraid of immigration, I haven't seen any body here who is not afraid, the only confident people are who get in process in time. I guess after that status they themselves realize they are in a genuine relationship. What a crapy system.
we chose Canada for a better life and now we are in a situation to prove our relationship genuineness on their presumed terms.
What if we give them on legal papers if we divorce in next 100 years, kick both of us out of your country, relation comes first, relation is important, not visas or pr's.

Its an very crap system I agree, I have read few cases where wife is pregnant in India and can't be with husband in Canada during pregnancy, what more genuine it can be then having child in relation ?? What kind of urgency they don't understand ? Its against human rights to keep partners away for this long period.

Yes it is true, but the first time you have to actually make an appointment and go to the office to do it, then the second time you can just e-mail your MP. This is my personal experience :D

yeah, it will be different for each MP, some will do it by e-mail, some will require you to actually come in. This was just my own personal experience that I had to go to his office the first time.

I am new in Canada, so need to find out first who is the MP of my area. ;D

Gagi007 - I am sure you must be very much frustrated the way NDVO is picking up files.I hope and pray you will get some good news this coming Saturday. :)

It all depends you who the MP is, mine made me come in to his office because there is a form that needs to be signed, some might not get this form signed by you and just do the inquiry with your e-mail request. I was just telling my personal experience and what my MP told me. He said that the first time I need to sign a form, so I need to physically come into the office, but each additional time after that I can just e-mail him. It will vary from MP to MP. The best way to find out is to give them a call.

Thanks my friend, we are all frustrated, I can see you are too. It's extremely hard living apart for a whole year after marriage, NDVO just doesn't understand. To find you MP go to this site and enter your postal code: http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseofCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC :)

...or in my case... wife is a born-and-raised Canadian citizen who is pregnant- and still waiting for her husband and had to suffer the stress of a long-distance relationship for so many months after marriage AND going through this pregnancy alone; doctors appointments, ultrasounds, prenatal classes (im the only one in the class whose partner isnt with her...) its SO hard.

We are September applicants, and now they seem to be working on August.

Baby is due in 5 weeks- its like a race to see who gets here first: my husband (in time for baby's delivery) or the baby (without it's fathers presence)! ......................*praying for the first option! ???

The Applicant date as referred by all on this forum, and for CIC is the date that the file was received by CPC - Mississauga.
However, for NDVO (or any other Visa Office) specifically, the applicant date is the date when the file was transferred to them by CPC-M.

The MP inquiry refers to August date because according to the official processing times (as mentioned here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp), NDVO takes about 13 months starting from the date when NDVO receives the application. Hence according to this, officially you are within the standard official times until September (13 months starting from August). :( :(
