Hello!
I was wondering if anyone could share their experience with going through with the QSW category.
After graduating from a Quebec university and getting the CSQ, my application was received in January of 2014. I indicated Manila as my office - I'm South Korean - even though I reside in Canada because the processing time was supposedly significantly faster.
I got a request for the medical pretty soon after along with acknowledgment that my application was "considered complete" and, on ECAS, it said that my medical was received in April. Then late-May, I got a checklist reminder email, saying that RPR fee should be paid and any outstanding documents should be mailed to the CIO. I unintentionally delayed paying the RPR fee (after looking through the topics here, I realised that it should've been paid as soon as I got the email - I thought it could wait til the last minute) and paid it late-July. I have not heard anything back since then and when I emailed the Manila office asking the progress of my application, they replied that they do not have my application there! Again, I haven't heard anything back from the CIO or the Manila office following my panicked reply asking where my application could possibly be. I've been under the impression that all that was left was the passport request!
So... I've spent the past couple of weeks in fear that, maybe, I've been waiting in vain. If there's anybody who could shed some light on my situation - if my application apparently isn't at the visa office I've indicated, where could it be? How long should it take between paying the RPR fee and hearing from CIC i.e. passport request? WHAT IS GOING ON?! - it would be greatly and genuinely appreciated!
Thank you!
Chloe
