Hi APayés,

Once you receive your AOR ( Acknowledgement of Receipt) you can log in to track/ See Updates about your Federal application on the following link. Normaly you can access it after some time I am not sure if it is one week or two.

My medical results were received on 5 January. Still waiting. It looks like QSW is not CIC's highest priority these days.
Hi Hobac, its very depressing for the long wait. I waited 3 months after medicals received to get PPt request. That was Rabat Visa office. These guys are very unpredictable. Your turn will be soon.

I am also quite concerned why CIC asked me for a settlement plan? Does it apply to anyone or it is just a random selection among all the QSW applicants? Today is 2 months since I submitted my plan to CIC.

The processing times are just unbearable. It took 4 years to receive CSQ and now this...

Good to know that our dates and process is so close to each other and is almost on the same page. Have you ordered another gcms ? I did let's see what happens next!!! I hope v r gonna get PPR very soon. Do u know what is this Pace location?? I think CPC Ottawa has been quite for a long time for issuing PPR to anyone. Last I heard from some one was in end of June.....!!!

How did you request the GCMS notes? Is there a charge for that?

My due date is December 1st, 2016. I applied in October 2015.

As far as I know, RFV =Ready For Visa. This is quite certain.
However, as for PACE, no person understand it. Some guy told jokingly me that it might probably be Passed All Categories of Eligibilities. This might be a joke.

Anyway, we can ONLY wait. No other choices.
