Base on my experience they email the principal applicant or the representative during ppr.. :) but wait for the others reply. May I know your timeline?

I believe most PPR emails go through the principal applicant, sometimes, sponsor gets CCed as well. If you have a representative, it goes to him/her.

Has anyone here tried to have a personal appearance without an appointment in CEM and was accommodated? I'm actually inquiring for a friend. He has to make a follow up but they haven't responded to his email. Thanks

hi, tried this but only the receptionist from the lobby will talk to you who will provide you a flyer with general info about CIC. they'll let you in their offices if you were given appointment letter by CEM. you need to present a copy of the letter. not sure if they accommodate citizens though.

Hi ...patulong nmn po Kung anu kelangan sa remedical ...thanks po...,
of course bring the money. just kidding.
just bring the form or whatever you received from the CEM and just tell them you are for re-medical.
in the case of my children re-medical, they sent me the completed form thru my email here in Canada (fully completed form about information of my children) to be signed by the medical practitioner but "one/some" of the staff told my children it doesn't matter because they will personally send the report. at the end of the day, the staff of the CEM asking me when was their re-medical (that was after a month of re-medical when i followed up because the application of my children are over due on their time frame see page 2206). YOU SHOULD INSIST THAT THE FORM SENT BY THE CEM if you had received one from the CEM be signed by the AUTHORIZE MEDICAL PRACTIONER AND SEND THIS COPY TO THE CEM.

Update about the PAFSO strike:

Please check this news released on June 30, 2013.

http://www.ottawacitizen.com/travel/Diplomats+strike+causing+visa+backlog+that+hurting+tourism/8595300/story.html


Quoting from the news:

Tim Edwards, president of PAFSO, said the backlog has increased and will continue to mount if the strike drags over the summer. He said there has been a nearly 25-per-cent decrease in the issuance of visas in June and the backlog at the 53 processing centres has grown about five per cent."

In an email, Citizenship and Immigration said the department is monitoring the situation and all visa offices are open with services still provided by management, locally engaged staff and foreign service officers who can’t strike.

To speed up processing, the department urged students, visitors or workers seeking temporary visas to apply online or at a visa application centre.

These centres are run by private operators who will review the paperwork to save time but must send applications to a visa office for any decisions. There are now 70 of these application centres in 49 countries with plans for 130 in 95 countries by next year.

Pagkagising ko po kasi kanina nakatanggap ako ng email from CIC containing my old UCI and an application number about our sponsorship. Alo po ung sponsor. Husband ko nasa Bacolod.

But wala naman pong nakalagay kun approved ako as sponsor. ??? Thank u po sa sasagot..

sana naman, they are considering of informing visa applicants of proper expectation regarding the issue. it's not a joke from gathering documents, submitting papers, following all their rules and waiting. i think they should set proper expectation, this is also for their own credibility as an institution.
