Do you guys think I have to send them an email notifying that I have applied for an extension of my study permit?

Or would it be better to not disturb them within 90 days as the email says?

Thanks. I'm in Canada right now.
And far far far away from LA.

In Canada , mailing by commercial courier is faster (i mailed by UPS). You'll celebrate in 2-3 weeks!

Ps. you don't have to drive to the border to get your visa active. Just phone and book an appointment to the local immigration office.

I don't think they need to know about you're renewing study/work permit. What you have to do is do whatever allow you stay in Canada till you get PR.

You have to notify Consulate when you change address, marriage status ..etc.

Sorry, im not sure if this help

Nevertheless email says not to ask about the status within 90 days, many people still sent emails regarding the status.
I am not sure whether to sent them something or not. Do you think it really affects the speed of the process?

No one knows the real answer. But lots of people can not wait for 90 days including me.

I have 2 questions, read it please

1) smilewhisper wrote

"My file was transfered : June 14,2011
LA confirmation receiving my file: July 5,2011"

How did you get a LA confirmation receiving your file? By email?
As I said my file was transfered on September 8th an I haven't got any confirmation yet?

2) I am thinking whether to send them an email saying something like this:" My file was transfered on Sept. 8th. Study permit is valid till November 30th. I would appreciate if there could be some way to finish my case till my Study Permit's expiration date to avoid sending it to Ukraine.?

Hello to anyone... I have a question...Iknow most ofthe files of us here were transfered to LA, my question is:
Regarding the FBI and Ploice clearance, do you think we need a new one or updated one? had anyone here submitted theirclearances both fbi and ploice topgether with their initial application? if so, do we need to get an updated one? the reason hy am asking is, because for fbi clearance it is taking so long so do you think we need to get updated ones?Thanks a lot

LA email the confirmation of receiving the application.


2) I am thinking whether to send them an email saying something like this:" My file was transfered on Sept. 8th. Study permit is valid till November 30th. I would appreciate if there could be some way to finish my case till my Study Permit's expiration date to avoid sending it to Ukraine.?


You can try emailing them. But i dont think they can do anything about it. It's your job to get a way to stay until your application approved.

LA email the confirmation of receiving the application.
Are here members who got a passport request without LA's confirmation regarding receiving the file?

I mean was there cases when LA skipped emailing a confirmation?

Re: Transferred to Los Angeles

My file was also transferred to LA on Sept 8th 2011. When I look at eCas it is still showing 'application received'. Did medicals on April 28th. No notification that medicals have been received. Still showing old address although I emailed change of address to Buffalo (and now also to LA). Seems like online info is not up to date. Anyone else have that experience?

MY QUESTION IS: WHEN THEY ASK FOR YOUR PASSPORTS HOW MUCH TIME DO THEY GIVE FOR YOU TO SEND THEM TO THE CONSULATE OFFICE. I AM DUE TO TRAVEL QUITE A BIT OVERSEAS FOR WORK SOON AND WOULD BE GRATEFUL TO KNOW FROM PEOPLE EXACTLY WHAT THE LETTERS SAID AND HOW MUCH TIME WAS ALLOWED.

Thanks so much in anticipation.

Hi,
My file was transfered to LA on September 8th. I applied through Manitoba PNP while I was under study permit. The study permit is valid till November 30th. I am afraid to get PR before my study permit will expire, otherwise I have go to Ukraine and have no ideas what would happen to my file. (I applied renewing it but it is the third time!!! They could refuse my request).

Do you guys think I have enough time to get PR until November 30?
