No way!!!!
That is exactly what I said when I read that. They are talking tomorrow and the following days, if no agreement met, they would protest. Canada Posts' protests are NOT so good - I hope they meet with an agreement with the Union.../or whoever... And if all goes as planned, we should have our cards next week - but you know how that works...


Good luck to us. We are travelling on May 24...

7 months is a long time to wait for AOR and file number.
Anyone did medical in advance before it was requested? I heard it can speed things up a bit

Super - I just called CIC at 1-888-242-2100 and the guy told me that our cards are not even produced yet!!! He sent an email to do them ASAP or to inquire why they are not done yet.

My wife's name is little confusing as its different than in her visitor permit and I am thinking this is the issue.

Can you please call CIC and let me know your status. Thanks Super. The guy was helpful and took his time to search our file and see its status.

Hello everyone,

I'm writing cause as you can see in my timeline I applied last may to Buffalo after medicals done in sep didn't got any information on my file until I asked in feb and they said they didn't need anything else from me at the moment and that my application was in process, a month later got transfer to NY and it's been 2 month already and I haven't heard anything, on apr 29 sent an email to see if I was able to get something and no response from them. Now next week it's going to be a full year since I applied and according to the timeline that's what in theory is taking to get the visa 12 month, would it be a good idea to send them an email asking for my status next week when I reach the 12 months of waiting? Or should I wait the 90 days they said we have to wait before contacting the new consulate? Any advice is greatly appreciate it! Thanks

Hey 4mfamily,

Thanks. Not necessarily because like I said we have had issues with my wife's name. She has just got one name in the passport! which is stupid. We will be doing a legal name change soon but thought to wait till we get the cards!! So it might be the fact that the name is causing issues... Yours might be already done and Superboy's too.

The officer did say that tomorrow is the 29th day and it should have been done by now!!!

Thanks and let me know ASAP after you chat with them.

Hey Sept, I just got on to see what's going on and saw your note. I will call them tomorrow for sure and will update everyone... you know my US PR is also approved and now I have to pay the fees, it hurts tho and I was a bit reluctant to do it 'cause of the situation in US. But I think I will do it just in case ( I have to pay 1,212 US$) ouch.. I haven't done so but what do you think....my brothers and sisters live there .... share your thoughts...

Hey Super - I did not know that someone can be a PR of two Countries. I am so ignorant. I know some countries dual-citizenship, but never heard of PR.

If I were you, I would just be a PR of the Country I work and will continue work and where I want to be in future. You can always go to US for a visit once you have your Canadian Passport and if you apply for Visit Visa, they usually give visas for many years? But that is me - For me, I prefer Canada due to Politics and other sensitive situations....You know better and I am sure you will make a good decision - Let me know what happens tomorrow, my friend.
