September 2011 - Here we go!

[Scott Ashmore]

Hey Everyone,

I've posted something on here awhile ago, I wanted to get a little update on people who applied from the US (outland) My fiance got accepted as a sponsor on December 5th, our application moved on Janaury 19th from Buffalo to Seattle and we started our in process on February 16th. It said to give it 90 days after the 19th of january to ask any questions to the people in Seattle we have written four times and there were two generic messages stating us to confirm date of birth...since a few weeks ago there has been nothing else. From what I see on the forum most people who applied around thew same time have had their passport request. Im just feeling worried and upset because we haven't heard anything...any suggestions on what to do or just keep on playing the waiting games checking our email every half hour haha...

Anyhoo we're jsut stressed and want to know something....

thanks!

Hi Scott Ashmore, you can try ordering GCMS to see what are outstanding in your file and if there is any concern as noted by the immigration officer.

www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/ (official site)
immipedia.ca/Ordering_FOSS_and_CAIPS_notes (some details)

There are a few September people applied through Buffalo still waiting. You can also check out the Buffalo thread:

Hey Everyone!!

I received a call yesterday from the visa office in Abu Dhabi asking me if I wanted to redo my husband's medical or leave it as it is (it ends on June 25 2012), so I asked them is it expected to get the visa before the 25th so the officer said yes (which I consider fast according to the timeline of Abu Dhabi), so I asked her if I should give a call again because I need to discuss the matter with my husband, so she said an email will be sent to the applicant (my husband).

I still did not get an email yesterday, not expected until Sunday as it is the weekend here (Fri & Sat)

Hope an email will come very soon to know what my husband and I should do....

One more thing I wanted to add, when I asked the officer if we redo the medical how long will it take to reach the visa office, so she said 2 months

The following is a quote from Operational Bulletin 423 from CIC: "Effective June 1st, 2012, officers can request that an applicant’s medical file be reassessed by a Medical Officer (MOF) or a Health Branch (HB) delegated staff for the issuance of a new medical certificate. The process applies to cases where a final decision of an officer is pending only due to the expiration of a medical certificate or when the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the applicant is unable to land before it expires. This process is limited to applicants who had a routine immigration medical examination (IME) done by a panel physician within the last 15 months in or outside Canada. The new medical certificate issued will be valid for 12 months."

Hi,

Thanks for your reply, but I wanted to ask isn't it the same procedure done previously? If no, what changes have been made?

Hi Lasiar,
Thanks for your kind words! I've been thinking about you, as well, and hoping everything goes well with the landing! And I'm sure it will!

I FINALLY received an email response last week after not hearing anything since December stating that they did acknowledge payment of ROPR fee and receipt. But, no word of acknowledgement of my PCC. Now, with the latest going on with the Buffalo VO closure, I'm not feeling very hopeful that we will hear anything any time soon. So, just trying to stay positive and hoping for the best!

Thank you for asking and I will keep you posted! Please let me (and us) know how landing goes! All the best to you

I surely will Muffy, its rather hectic getting things in place but its a good feeling too.. I will keep my fingers crossed for you and hope your time comes soon.... Hang in there

 

[GOGOGO]

I'm keeping my finger crossed for you too! Have you got GCMS after you've submitted your PCC? I submitted my GCMS request after I resent my medical receipt to them and I saw it referenced in the GCMS notes.

Hello to everyone here!! Im s happy to see that many of you already got your PPR'S and have actually landed in Canada. My dad is sponsoring me "dependant child". We actually sent our application to Missisauga on Sept 16! for 8 months nothing! Finally after my dad sent a lleter in April they responded to us by mail telling us that "we are sorry for the inconvinience but we are unable to lacte your application at this time" they lost it!!!!!

Needless to say we were crushed as Ive been back in Costa Rica for about a year and a half now because my university expenses were too high as an international student. And my dad misses me, and i miss him and my little baby brother.

Anyways, my dad sent everything again to a different address they gave us, along with Canada Post receipt of sept. *according to canada post they received it on May 25)

By June 1 they sent us i think is the AOR, it was email stating that CIC had received our application sept 16 2011 and nothing else.

Then a week later info shows on ecas as Application received Medical received

Im wondering does this mean Gutaemala VO has received our application? My medicals expire on August 15 , ive been reading that many people get approved or called before exams expire so that they can land in canada faster instead of redoing them or getting an extension,

Anyone has some light on this,

thanks sorry for so much writing im just hoping july comes to an end soon and then maybe i can go back to university by sept!!

I'm sorry for the late response! I did not notice your posting! I have not ordered GCMS notes, yet. I think I will go ahead and do that tonight. I believe I am able to proceed with that via email, correct? Would it take about 4 weeks or so to receive?

I'm keeping my finger crossed for you too! Have you got GCMS after you've submitted your PCC? I submitted my GCMS request after I resent my medical receipt to them and I saw it referenced in the GCMS notes.
