Well, I did a case specific equerry "Has my file been transferred to my local VO, South Africa, Pretoria yet?".
Yesterday I received a e-mail from my local VO stating:
Good day,
We wish to confirm receipt of your application. Your file number at our office is EP............... Your file is currently awaiting review by an officer. You will be contacted as soon as a review has taken place.
Regards,
Immigration Section/md
Canadian High Commission, Pretoria
I also did a GCMS Notes request last week and will keep you guys up to speed on what it states as soon as I receive it.
Now it is the wait for Police Clearance Certificate and Medical Request ;D
