In process was March 17th.

My CSQ(Quebec part) came on March 31th, so it's about two months to since the "In process" and 5 weeks to receive passport request.

E-cas done not change even if I sent and they received my passport. My frined was the same :)

I just wait fo a while again, it should not be soooo long,I HOPE!

I just saw my decision made on e-cas.


We started processing Usagi's application on March 17, 2010.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on Usagi's application. The office will contact Usagi concerning this decision.


Hope things go smooth...!

You can submit and pick up in person,that's good! You can cut a lot of time!

Tokyo office is really fast.I did not expect my decision made that fast.

I hope I will receive my passport soon^^

I had my medical exam in early December in 2009. And it was in Sendai,Miyagi,JAPAN.
I brought all the papers Canada with me.

I made a reservation and had a exam there, took about 2 hours. They sent it to Manila ^^

My wife is being processed by the Hong Kong visa office. ECAS says "processing started on December xx ..." but when I emailed them in March they told me that her file was awaiting processing (i.e. had not been started yet), so "in process" can mean waiting in some file cabinet.

Not trying to put a damper on some applicants; just trying to counsel patience.
