Member of Parliament, there special assistant or secretary are always being the one handling such requests. Have you applied for your GCMS ?

Hi I'm new to the forum and I have quite a similar timeline to yours. What is GCMS?
 
hi there everyone... :) it's been a while since i last posted... ;D

i just want to update everyone on my application....

January 9, 2013, I have received an email requesting for an International Police Clearance (NBI Clearance here in the Philippines)
and also additional fee (Right for Permanent Residence Fee) to be submitted via courier to VO Manila..

I have submitted it January 11, 2013 and VO Manila received it January 14, 2013...

Right now I'm still waiting for updates... hopefully it will come soon... ;)

All the best to everyone... God Bless... :D

Ojeola i wanna ask you when cic start processing on your file. My ecas shown they start processing on my file on 8 Dec.

Hi, good to see you guys doing progress!
I'm still stuck at stage one.
My application is different from most here because I am not in Canada and its being processed by the VO in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
After the AOR on October 18th, nothing else has happened, they haven't asked me yet for the medicals or anything else.
I submitted an inquiry to the visa office to learn about my current status but the only reply I got was an automated one saying that if my application was within the normal processing time (12 months) I would not get any answers.
Does anyone else have experience with timing on PNP from abroad?

Cant really say much about the situation since it an oversee Visa Office. When you got your AOR was it from your VO or CIO ?

Thank you. I will also keep you updated on any progress with my application..the wait is hard.
 
Hello Everyone,

Just want to keep the forum updated with the latest information i got, just check the CIC website today and i saw this


"Effective January 29, 2013, the Visa and Immigration Sections at the Canadian Embassy in Caracas and the Canadian Consulates General in Detroit and Seattle are closed. In addition, the Visa and Immigration Section at the Embassy in Washington, D.C. will have some services transferred to other offices.

Which automatically means that all Passport will be sent directly to Ottawa.

All the best to us ALL
 
Hi All:
Today I finally received the medicals request from the Buenos Aires VO. Looks like they are just slower or do things in a different order. Anyways, good to see some progress after months of silence.

It also means there will be more delay and backlog for in-canada applicants as currently experienced .. Best of luck

Thanks, the weird thing is also today, but later I got an email from my VO asking for 2 photos for each family member and requesting the payment of the Right of Permanent Residence fees. Looks like they actually started working on my case.
