You can come back until May 3rd. If you are confident you can make it before 12 midnight across the border then no issues.

Be safe than sorry, considering possibility of flight delays due to weather etc, if possible try to come few days early and avoid the last minute hassles. Dont take any chances.

Hi all,

Thank you all very much for your suggestions and advice, they were really helpful. I have requested the entry/exit records from the U.S from the Dept of homeland security website. As i understand it is going to take at least 1 month before I receive anything back, so as suggested by some of you I am going to send CIC a registered letter that show the request has been made and that I probably won't be able to meet the 30 day deadline. I am going to contact my MP as I believe this particular officer has already sent me 3 letters since January each requesting different things when he could have asked for all of these at once. Is this a deliberate action on his part to delay my application even further? I don't know.

Unfortunately it seems to me like you are deliberately targeted .... Making you run back and forth like are rabbit for getting documents and giving you impossible timeline seems like a method to wear you down and eventually cause you to withdraw your application. This is a common methods use by bosses to fire employees they don't like : they given them huge workloads and impossible deadlines expecting them fail which will make them look bad infornt upper management which will eventually give the boss the pretext they need for dismissal.

HI. Djoili..

Hope you have already requested the information from USA, we hope you will get

much earlier than requested but in meantime you have some sort of proof that you have

already requested, attached that proof and send the letter by courier service ask for

signature spend few dollars and get the signature for your record and than once they

receive also call CIC and get the confirmation that they have received your letter

once they receive you may request ATIP report which explain to you your current status

on the file.. do not give up... and hope that you will be

achieve what you have dream for 42 months.....

Help please..
I received my atip report yesterday. My file was transferred for review back in june 2014. In this atip it says the name of the reviewer and that she sent it to a mentor for a review and that was back in january.

I have been waiting for 42 months.

Can someone help me and explain what does that mean.
Ps/ hearing section is still not required
Decisions are still pending
All checks are up to date

Thank you in advance and i really appreciate your help and support.

Hi Nyork. I am not sure what this mean, but the last note from my ATIP says "RQ case-preliminary review completed; referred to level 2 decision maker for final decision." The note is from February. I have seen a couple of people on various forums having similar notes.

Applicaiton: April 2012
Text: Feb 2013 (RQ given on the test)
RQ and documents sent back in March
