@ Holygun

Are you the one who update the spreadsheet?
if yes, could you please add mine?
here is my latest update:

- RPRF enchased: 20-May-2013
- E-CAS(In process): 6-June-2013

It's been a while I never checked my status, when suddenly they sent email to me on 28 February 2013. They asked police certificate from my home country, another fbi letter, copy of new passport and RPRF payment. Luckily I could submit everything 2 weeks before the deadline except my wife's FBI letter, but they re fine with it since I told them the reason.

I've been in process since April 11, 2013. I sent an email to my officer and he said that my file is going trough background and security checks and once they're completed I should be getting a ready for visa letter (his exact words) I don't know if its s good sign or another bunch of crap just to keep me quiet.

What do you mean by "my officer" ? Is it a CIC agent ? How did you get his/her email address ?

PAFSO's strike is escalating... I am getting more and more worried.

20 June 2013 - Canada's Foreign Service Officers announce additional pickets in Ottawa and escalated service withdrawals
As part of ongoing job action to bring Treasury Board back to the negotiating table to address wage inequities, Canada's Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) announced ‘information pickets' to be held Thursday, June 20th in downtown Ottawa and further withdrawals of service in key international locations.

“The escalated scope and intensity of service withdrawals this month are a direct consequence of the federal government's refusal to engage meaningfully with its employees on the issue of pay equity,” said Tim Edwards, PAFSO President. “While we're eager to get back to work, these disruptions will continue until the Treasury Board offers a fair deal to our members.”

PAFSO officials estimate that job action by immigration officers has resulted in major delays to application processing and a significant drop in the number of visas being issued. These impacts will be felt directly by Canada's tourism industry, educational institutions, and businesses relying on temporary foreign workers. The Department of Citizenship & Immigration's decision to shift non-striking resources toward visa processing will also result in significant processing delays to applications for permanent residency. In addition, a number of ministerial and parliamentary visits abroad have been shortened or cancelled in recent weeks and negotiations with key trading partners delayed as a result of these rotating strikes. Foreign Service Officers play a central role in organizing and executing high-level visits and negotiating trade agreements on Canada's behalf.

As of today, all eligible members are striking in the following locations: Manila, Beijing, Bangkok, Jakarta, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Chongqing and Astana. Immigration officers are striking in Delhi, Chandigarh, London, Moscow and Mexico City. In Tokyo, economic officers are also on strike. Additional withdrawals of service are impacting dozens of divisions at CIC and DFAIT headquarters in Ottawa.

“Resolving this situation would cost less than 2.5% of the total Foreign Service payroll – a tiny fraction of the economic impact that the Government's inflexibility is creating,” said Tim Edwards, PAFSO president. “We will keep up pressure until the Government recognizes the tremendous value and dedication Foreign Service officers bring to Canadians and to our elected representatives.”

The main issue at hand remains PAFSO's request for equal pay for equal work. Specifically, the union is seeking wage adjustments to keep Foreign Service officer pay in line with comparable employment groups in the federal government, including lawyers, economists, policy analysts, and commerce officers.

PAFSO members in the National Capital Region will be holding an information picket Thursday, June 20th 2013, from 11:00 to 13:30 in front of Treasury Board Secretariat offices at 140 O'Connor St.

How do you contact him ? Do you have his work email address or do you add something like "Attention to: agent 123" in the subject when you send an email to Ottawa ?
