Have just found out ,that even though they have our passports it will be another month before they look at our file.
WHY DID THEY ASK FOR THEM WHEN THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ANOTHER MONTH Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

What I heard is that there's only 2 officers in Seattle... that's why everything is slow. Not sure if it's true.
But up till now, I haven't received them back. Sent then email but no reply, as always.
sigh.

Did you get an email from them ? Did they say it is due to something to do with your case or they are not sending any passports back for a month?

Got our local MP'S office to contact them for me today to find out when they were going to send back our passports .All he was told is that they are still processing and will not look at our file for a least a month.What gets to me is that they give you a time limit to send things to them,but they never stick to theirs. Plus you always have to pay first.

I don't think that applies to everyone tho... one of my friend got his passport back from Seattle within 20 days using FEDEX.

But on my case, it's been a month already.

Does your ECAS show anything? Mine shows Decision Made from 21 March. I heard usually DM shows after the visa has been stamped.

We have not been able to check our ECAS for well over a month.
Did you try using both the EPxxxxxx number or the Bxxxxxx number? Usually either one of them works, from what I heard.

hi guys, I read your post and it really helped me ease my mind. I'm also waiting for the CIC office to request for my passport.
I dont know what happened with my application, me and my friend did the medical exam at the same time, but his application we're never forwarded to seattles unlike mine. and he got his passport requested already. any idea what happened? :(

MY TIMELINE
MED REQ= 9-11-11
MED DONE= 25-11-11
FILE TRANSFERED TO SEATTLE= 12-1-12
