From all the posts I have read in this topic, I am probably only one who has a "Decision Made" for 2 months on ecas status and still no passports returned. Pretty depressing scenario this. Worst part is ND office don't reply to any queries. Have ordered GCMS last week, hope to get some direction. I would have been more at ease with "In progress" status actually and waiting.

For all those desperately waiting after Inprocess..like me


All about BF'D :

BF'D is an acronym for "Bring Forward Date" in the Canadian PR processing system. Usually our file moves from BF'D to BF'D, as it is the day/date next earmarked by our VO to check our file. This actually serves to eliminate unnecessary clogging of the system... that if there is nothing further to add in a particular file, the VO moves to another case file to work on, rather than holding onto the same one.

What happens on a BF'D
In simple terms it is the date that the file will be looked at [again], assessed, reviewed by your case handling officer at the CHC. S/he will check if anything is lacking, any further queries to be made [to you], any documents to be asked or if any decisive action is to be made/taken. Basically it serves as a 'Reminder Tool' to the case processing officer & that your file is not 'forgotten'.

Now, if the VO observes that something is lacking [that which was asked for], s/he will probably attempt to contact you on this BF'D day and mark another BF'D on your file. This depends on the subject of check [the all time phrase 'Case-to-Case' basis]. Sometimes, if the check report warrants, the VO might not give you another opportunity and take a decisive action. Note: The situation is fluid & no one can really provide a sanguine comment on it.

Will the file be 'only' looked at a BF'D
No. If something like reports, results, documents etc. [eg. background/security checks] comes to the CHC in between, your file gets opened and assessed. However, if nothing is received in between, you get another BF'D. Note once again: If they are waiting for something and it comes as expected then the file continues to be processed further, if not then the file will be next reviewed on the BFD 'only'.

An Example
Every time we get a letter/email from the CHC -it carries a 'time limit' to submit something, right? Say 45 days, 60 days or 90 days... the ending day of that time limit is our next BF'D. As an example, if the CHC sent you a medical request [alongwith the forms] on 02 Jan 2010; and it carries a 60 day's deadline -it means your file has been marked with the next BF'D of 01 Mar 2010.

However, if your medical results are received before the BF'D [01 Mar 2010], say on 05 Feb 2010 -your file will be further processed on that day itself [05 Feb 2010]. If the med results didn't come by earlier, then it will be opened on 01 Mar 2010 -the BF'D day.

How many BF'Ds we get
Some BF'Ds are 'routine', as exampled above. Then there are some which is either case generated or because of us. By 'case generated' I mean, [eg.] if one's Security Report is pending from an external agency -the VO gives a BF'D & waits. If the report comes in time, action is taken. If it doesn't, one gets another BF'D. And the situation continues...

By 'because of us'* I mean if the VO had asked us for a document [or a couple of them]. It is wise that we proceed to submit the document/s asap. Reason? The case moves faster [read: it'll open before the BF'D]. If we don't, s/he may try to contact us on the BF'D day & log another BF'D on our file [result: Delay/s].

Delays due to BF'Ds
As stated above, except the 'routine' ones, other BF'Ds do delay our process. At the least [best scenario] each BF'D would be a month apart. Some might be more. The ideal action on our part is to submit anything that has been asked for asap. That would negate a BF'D. However, there can be times that something we just might not be able to send asap. In that case we 'must' send it by the 'deadline' -that'd avoid another BF'D, won't it?

*Many Consultants [so called agents] erroneously advise us otherwise. Stating, "Oh you got the meds, don't worry you have time till 60 days to do it". That's a 'bull'. I'd advise -do it asap, if the speed of your case process matters to you.

This post I chose to write 'coz many members are either clueless about the BF'D issue or take it lightly. Which, albeit causes delays [without our actual intention]. Moreover, there are repeated queries on the subject in various threads. I hope this helped...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I applied for my parents sponsership in july 2008 and medicals were done Dec,02012 , passports were sent in Dec,2012 too. My ecase status still says "In progress". I ordered GCMS notes 2 weeks ago and received the reply today.

We moved to a new address sept,2012 and did update on the cic website. In the GCMS notes, I noticed that they still have my old address even though my address was updated on CIC website long ago. Should i contact CIC? if yes, how? any number?

Also, I initially had my brother as an dependant with my parents and he was younger than 21 when I first applied but later when additional documents were requested last November, we didn't send his information because one of the agent we consulted told us not to send his info as he is not qualified.

I received a rufund of $75 somtimes in june or july of 2012 and i thought it was for my brother probably. I initially had my brother as an dependant with my parents and he was younger than 21. In the GCMS notes, they have mentioned that
"refund of overpayment of $75, processing fees were not submitted for the acc dep. unable to contact sponser for clarification.tried various times. dep included in sa's but not as an acc dep only as non-acc dep." i don't understand this part, what do they mean here?

Also, when additional documents were requested last November, we didn't send his information because one of the agent we consulted told us not to send his info as he is not qualified.
I'm really confused, what should i do?

please help!

CIC ND is pretty good in messing it up when it comes to addresses - been a victim of it, ever have time, read my old posts
You basically need to bombard ND with emails and URGENT subject line with address change ( signed principal app ) + details of dependent issues. Its very hard to get in touch with them and only way is email

Also >> what is this part?

we didn't send his information because one of the agent we consulted told us not to send his info as he is not qualified.

What agent? and what reason that he is not qualified, looks like with no info, ND might have removed him but WHY?

please help!

what was ur agent's reason? y he said tht ur brother is no longer dependent on ur parents? did u fill out 'non-accompanying dependent' form when u submitted the updated forms in nov 2012? for how long is ur status "in process"? is there anything else mentioned in GCMS notes apart frm tht statement tht they want clarification?
u can try calling cic call centre at 1-888-242-2100 (M-F, 8am to 4 pm). u will need ur UCI to contact them. since ur file is LVO now, they might not give u exact answer related to non-accom dep but u can ask them adress related ques as y they were not able to contact u? for contacting ND, u will have to email them.

All about BF'D :

thanks for the information user828!! but, where do we find this BF'D? i coudnt find even a single BF'D in my GCMS notes. shd i b worried abt tht??

 

[Richadw]

The agent told us that because he is no longer a student and is over 21 at the time CIC requested for additonal papers, he is no longer qualified. I know that was a stupid mistake. shouldn't have listened to him. Is there something i can do now or is it too late since my parents medicals are done already and passports were also sent witht he medicals?

 

[Richadw]

Also my status has been "in progress" for forever,even before the medicals were send(dec 2012).

Now thats scary - don't think thats the rule else lotta ppl might disqualify here

You have any communication proof that agent told you this? as you might wanna explain to Delhi as I assume the rules is he/she needs to be below 22 at time of sponsorship, not when additional papers are requested

Only thing that seems justified is that if the dependent stopped studying after he/she turned 22. Then it might make sense. It seems a relatively simple rule for an immigration consultant to mess up on, unless of course he is extremely unqualified to be in that job.

Haven't been here for quite a while.
Hope everyone's doing well + things are going smoothly.

I just wanted to give you guys an update that my parents have landed in Canada on Feb 26, and everything went very smoothly at the Vancouver airport. The only thing that bothers me little is that Personal Goods Form (don't know the exact name now, but it's the tax redemption on your personal goods) was not requested at the border, so my parents just landed.
CBSA told me that they can just show the forms next time when they actually move as this time they're staying for about 2 months, just for the landing purpose.
