In my case, i received an email confirming that they received my June application and then minutes later I recceived another email stating that they received my November (urgent) application. I got worried it might cause a problem so I contacted cic, the agent I spoke to told me that they withdrew my first application and are now working on my urgent application. My flight is also on December and they didn't mention anything about not processing urgently those applications with december travel dates. Have you tried contacting cic again regarding the email you received? Pls keep us posted. TiaStuntmonkey said:I called today, they told me during the time I sent my urgent application, they started processing my application from June. I was sent an email by the agent saying resubmit your travel docs online. So I did that this afternoon. Immediately after his email I got an email saying they had received my NOVEMBER application (the urgent one).
Just received another email stating that there is no urgent processing for travel dates in November or December of 2015.
WTF?!
Yeah he never mentioned it on the phone, it was only in the email I got from submitting the docs. I'm unsure which application they are processing. Will call in today.Ysstal said:
I called again today. Good news, my application was approved and was already sent to production. Will update when I receive my pr card in the mail.Stuntmonkey said:
When did they receive your application? You will need to call them to find out if your application reached them before they decided not to process urgent applications for december travel datesYYZINR said:Can you tell me when you sent your application for urgent processing ? I just sent mine last week and i am worried they might not process mine. My travel date is before xmas and i spent a lot of money to get a ticket too, i'll loose all of it
What date did they receive it? Mine was received on the 12th of November, and I believe the following week they decided to cut off urgent applications with travel dates in November/December.YYZINR said:Can you tell me when you sent your application for urgent processing ?

Good news! I called last week, and am just going to leave it until next week to call again, hopefully something turns up by then. The application showed up in ECAS finally, and says "in process".Ysstal said:
I filed on the 18th Nov. I called CIC this morning and they told me they are not going to process any urgent applications for Dec travel. He told me to go ahead with travel and apply for Permanent resident travel document in that country visa office. I am not convinced about that approach as the outside embassies make their own decisions and what if they refuse ? I'll be putting my job and rent costs at risk. Any suggestions ?Stuntmonkey said:
Are you on a visa exempt passport? I'm only gone for 4 days, not enough time for the embassy to get me a travel doc. I was just going to take my notice of assessments with me and come back in on my passport.YYZINR said:
