I feel your pain!! I actually emailed them about my application today just to see if I would get any response and they replied within a few hours which is very surprising! Hope this gives you a little hope to show there are people in the office working.Bestwifey said:
did they give you good news? i emailed them on Monday and got a reply yesterday saying The file is still in queue for initial screening. Once this is complete, we will advise of the next step.misscoco16 said:
Well I applied for a another police certificate since the one I had initially sent in is close to expiry. So basically I i emailed them for instructions on where to send it (even though I know exactly where it's supposed to go) I was really fishing for information to see if they would tell me wait until they request it or send right away to process.MonzB said:
ok, my husband medical will expire in May of this year. we were suppose to send the application earlier but then just waiting for documents we didn't send the application until October.misscoco16 said:
Yea and since they are willing to accept documents before they are requested you may want to send in anything you think they may need if you haven't already.MonzB said:
You are 100% right...I don't think they understand the stress and the anxiety and they money that have to be spent for all those back and forth trips.misscoco16 said:
Yes I think you should! I myself will be doing the same thing when our medical gets closer to expiry. I know people might disagree with my advice because you're supposed to sit around and wait until the VO decides to contact you but like I said before nothing wrong with being proactive. The worst that can happen is they don't respond to the email and you have to wait.MonzB said:
LOL, OK I totally agree with you!... yup I am in the same boat, in my e-mail to them following up, I am sure they can tell...because I have been doing this long distance for 8 years but now we are married so it kinda make me more impatient going back and forth from Toronto to Guyana is not inexpensive , I cant tell you that much...Now I will be going again in March...misscoco16 said:
Nope!MonzB said:
I really wish we could get an update at least every 2 weeks even if it's to say still in process .... just something....Anything... hate to be left in the dark lol
I know...last week they reply saying it's in the queue, still at initial processing stage...but people who applied in October and VO office is in Ottawa and other parts of the world are getting update and are able to link their Ecas to their GCKey...and i cant even do that because it is saying applicant not found...I feel like this will drag out until December...Make me sooo sore inside.misscoco16 said:Nope!
Yea I know..I used to check ecas like twice a day and now it's turning into once a week. I have this small hope that they will get fed up and just approve all the apps that came in before December 7 2016 so they don't get confused with the new paper work. Just continue to have faith just now we will look back at this and laughMonzB said:

I know it's a little strange we are the only 3 guess the others haven't found the group. Plus it's February which means it's carnival down there which takes a whole month to celebrate so expect to hear nothing for awhileMonzB said:True!
