Dear All,

As per my understanding BFd of people at BRITISHEXPATS is Oct'12 irrespective of nationality but all applied from UK directly. That might be the reason they are getting documents update + Medical requests together.

Our BFds are of Mar, Apr, May'13 and after. So, as Eemmoo1 got only documents update request, I am not expecting anyone of us will get both together, Ok documents update now (Oct, Nov & Dec) & Medical in Feb'Mar'13, but not together.

Pls. don't ask my source as it's my inner feeling or you can say sixth sense.
Well what I feel, its not like that, those cases where updated docs are needed to issue MR, they will get doc update otherwise updated doc+MR will be sent.... One more thing is, we might get it by normal post in Pakistan as most of us got their irreplaceable docs back, so without originals its highly likely to be sent thru Pakistan Post.... :)

However one interested observation I did is that some people FSW1 got their medical within 30 months of their application and LVO processing time is also 29 months on the site till today... in the light of above Now my hopes are high and June 2010 applicants will get the MR max by Dec 2012 insha Allah...

Those people got the same BF'D's which is one year after their in process dates only one applicant got in Oct 12 and he didn't get the MR yet, also it's possible that you get MR and updated documents at the same time whichever is stated in the CAIPS it's done like that

Subject: RE: Application for Permanent Residence in Canada
Federal Skilled Worker

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your enquiry.

Your documents have been received and placed on file. No further action is required by you at this time.

Unfortunately, it will take longer to process Federal Skilled Worker applications submitted under the first set of instructions (between February 27, 2008 and June 25, 2010 ) than originally projected.

During this time, the department received applications for more than 425,000 people, and 144,000 of these have not yet received a decision.

This number represents more than twice the number of projected admissions under the Federal Skilled Worker program in 2011, so many of these applicants will have to wait two years or more to be processed. Because they reflect Canada 's current labour market needs, applications under the most recent set of ministerial instructions are processed on a priority basis.

Our office sends immigration decisions and information requests by post or by email to the mailing and email addresses provided in the application. Therefore, it is important that our office be notified immediately of any change of address and contact details.

We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Yours sincerely,

I would suggest all expats to start looking for arrangements to apply for PCC of countries where they stayed before and left. It is time taking exercise and I am suffering from it. I may need to request extension as the consulate of the country where I stayed before has advised that it could take 3 to 4 months to get PCC. So try to look for the ways now itself in order to avoid last minute surprises.

Yes Eemmoo .. U r right.

The PCC is valid for 6 months right?

also as per my CAIPS, they will ask me to send bank statement. Shall I order now for the Bank statement for last 1 year transaction? also is it valid for 6 months?


Also in between we can download schedule BG form and the IMM form and fill it up to get ready.


advice pls.
