OTTAWA Case Pilot Office - for 2007 London Applicants only

[edupolo]

Ok, got the second reply from Ottawa about their initial response that my medicals had been furthered and I will be contacted in due course.

My email reply was simply to ask for more information due to my concern about my medicals expriring already in July this year. Their answer was:

"The medical branch will contact you if or when more tests are required. Your case stays open until your application is completed"

and believe it or not... that is all they wrote... so no indication of time, no idea of how they will contact me if they ever do, and now they include 'if I need further tests', which I would think that would show on my case if it is yes or no.

Is there any email to contact the medical branch? I guess there is no point in contacting them, since I do not think that any of us have got a true reply.

I think i am even more frustrated now than before when I was just waiting with no information.

I juste can't understand why they gave us a personnalised reply ("file ready for visa" and indication of time) when obviously your situation and deadlines are much more preoccupying... Can't imagine why they would only reply with a generic one sentence... Best of luck edupolo. Keep in mind their emails (see my earlier posts) that the "February 2011" date we had been given was indeed refering to "visa granted or refusal"

This reply is still vague, i don't know what they are upto? They sometime send very personalised and sometimes very general reply ??? Like in M+JMs case one reply was file is ready for visa and second was still in process, wait for couple of months.

If haven't come across any direct email address of medical division but i would say to be bit pstient and wait for a week or so, if you don't receive anything by end of Jan, send them a burning email to demand valid information and not confusing info.

 

[edupolo]

Never mind. As you said, I will wait until mid feb or so and then I will decide what to do if I have not heard from them.
Going away for two weeks, so hopefully that will keep my mind off this subject.
Should anything change I will keep you posted.
I hope that you guys hear from them soon too.

Hello there,
There was an update in the processing time page of CIC. Nothing remarkable except that those who applied after Feb 2008 are luckier than us I now know why it's taking too long for them to make decisions about us, it's because they are processing those new guys...

Hi all,
I have a question:
My wife's passport is expiring in less than 6 months. So, we have to renew it before we receive the PPR hopefully in a couple of months. Now, for the whole process, we have been using the old passport number and photocopies. If I send them the new passport for getting the visa, is it fine? Or should I send them both the old and new passports?

Thanks for the help!

Ya, you can get it renewed and when you get PPR, send both passports with cover letter with explanation.

IMHO, no effect at all, but you will need to fulfill the minimum requirements of "permanent residency stay" in each of the two countries to keep both countries PR, else you may have to give up one for the other.

To become Canadian citizens, adults must have lived in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before applying. Children under the age of 18 do not need to meet this requirement.

You may be able to count time you spent in Canada before you became a permanent resident if that time falls within the four-year period.
