first of all thanks for sharing the news links, however one thing that is positive that I noticed; the strike started on 2 April but I received updated docs(18M) on 26 April, means they are still working even though they are on strike, that's a good news :)
I have also received 18m UDR on 26 April
I request to all to apply CAIPS / GCMS who has completed 60 days from UDR and share their next due date
So we can see when we can expect MR. I will also apply GCMS next week sometime

I think you should also apply for GCMS notes. No matter to wait for 60 days. They normally put BF'D upon sending any corresponding to the applicant.

Akbar Sab, I consider it positive response and specially you got reply by visa officer. The word is in-progress not outstanding.

I've very strong feeling that all applicants who sent UD in October/November will have medical in July. I already gave my words on forum and now again telling you. Be ready for medical Insha'Allah
Thanks for encouraging words and lets hope it comes true. We are used to this wait now but lets hope for successful completion of this process.

Boss, i have been receiving the same responses from my Programme Assistant (SJM) for past many months. Does not have to do anything with visa quota. BG checks are BG checks & no body knows what is their completion criteria or timeline.

Also, Just now once again received same reply in response to my query sent almost a month ago. CAIPS are expected to reach by 2nd week of July, let's c what "stork" brings this time.........:).

P.S: For Jimmy, please don't get confused with.........What Stork Normally Brings.....:)

I think we all are in the same boat and waiting for an island :) I have received the same response from SJM in April and again in May, as per my CAIPS my BFD is 1 Sep 2013 with some NSB.

I sent my updated documents in Oct / Nov and they asked again in March for POF which was sent and accepted as per my caips.

Dear #WAY

Did you notice that "mubasshirali" visa officer will be changed as per his CAIPS? The same visa officer is assgied to another applicant of your time band. More than 250 immigration officers are walk out from their offices and are on strike since April.

Source: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2000/06/19/ott_fsdemo000619.html


May be these officers are also the part of strike and It might be possible as well that the CSE is being replied by their signatures. And to move further they might transfer files to the new officer.

This is all my personal understanding on available data sets. And might be differ from others point of thinking

Hi Farhan.

In addition to passing medical results, the prospective immigrant needs to
pass the criminal and security clearance, have a valid passport and
sufficient funds.

Different visa offices don't do all the steps in the same order. They are
not required to.

Also, even if a prospective immigrant has satisfied all the requirements it
does not mean they will get a visa. Each visa office has a target for the
number of permanent resident visas they issue each year. They are not
allowed to exceed it.

Canada is moving away from the first-come, first-served permanent resident
visa system. To a considerable extent this will be replaced by employer and
provincial and territorial demand. Because Canada only admits a certain
number of immigrants each year this makes it even more likely that some
applicants who qualify for a permanent residence visas will not get one.

Response against CSI, following three units from CIC are being observe on forum:

1- Client service unit
2- Camdian high commission (due to strike)
3- Visa officer - Program assistant

And we all know the response which we get from number 3 are very much positive. The responses from 1 & 2 are from 1st line command who's responsibility to answer all kind of CSIs those are not associated/alloted to any visa officer.

This is why I'm saying the OCT/NOV guys be ready for next positive step.
