It's all good, they do that to expedite processing. Have your e-cas status changed? Do you know if they received your medical results?

Good luck to you! I hope I hear something from them soon too.

True Ans,

Do you know when your medical reached ottawa. mine is 21sep. applied june 14(date of receipt)

Thx

[ans]

My medical results reached Ottawa on Sep.15 so we are in the same boat pretty much.

Hey,
My e-case status is still the same: "In Process"; I assume they have received my medicals because the clinic gave me a fedex tracking number and it reached Ottawa September 17; Will keep you guys updated on my case! Hope I get my visa soon

[ton40]

Florida, you might be the first one with passport request. I think transferring to Detroit is a good sign. At least we all know that since medicals reached Ottawa things are happening faster. Hope ans and digital hear something soon too!
As for our case, went to the bank today, but the check is not cashed yet. Anyways, we are very still patient and calm ))))))))

Hey all!

Looks like you all have a pretty good thread going here so I thought I would join to get in on the action.

Here are my stats:
PEQ applicant (moved to Montreal from US 3 years ago on study and then work permits),
it took 2 weeks to get my CSQ back in April/May;
Federal application submitted 20 May, AOR and check cashed 6 July;
Medicals done and submitted 9 July;
Email received notifying that case was transferred to the Los Angeles office 28 September.

I have read a lot of hearsay about what it means to have a file sent to a consulate but wanted to know if anyone else out there has had their file sent to the LA office? If so, does anyone know what that could mean in terms of processing time? My e-Cas only indicates that my file is both "In Process" and has been sent to the Los Angeles office as of last week.

Always nice to hear from others who are also in a perpetual state of impatience!

I am ready to sent my application to buffalo next week.
The only problem I have is that I have a Green card here in the US.
I am going to stay in US, however i may move to canada in the future.
I already had my CSQ.
What is your imut on that.

[ae03yy]

Appl'd to Buff: Aug 27
Rec"d appl'n:   Sept 07

Welcome everyone! Glad to see more of us hanging on the same branch 

firasj78, If your intention is to stay in the US then stay, If I had same intention I would not spend the extra $$$ on getting the canadian permanent residence.

Mtl_guy, I dont really know what that means, but I have the feeling that they are finalizing the procedure and they are getting ready to issue your visa. A friend of mine applied for a tourist visa for Canada in the LA office and they proceeded it very quick.

ae03yy, Good to see you here and thanks for joining!  What will happen when Ottawa receives your medicals, since you dont have your file number yet?

[ae03yy]

Well, normally they will process the info in the system and wait... So, those who do med by anticipation are to request file # from DMP and tracking no as well so upon receivin AOR they caan call Ottawa and provide # so that Ottawa be able to successfully forward every thing to Buffalo. Many applicants, in Federaal processes and CEC and in QSW did it before and got no issue. Now about the form, you should find a DMP who has blank form

For me it ewas even easier because I may not have AOR but I got work permit and it bares Client ID, so the DMP wrote it on the form where it say s FOSS...  so i dont need to get AOR now as the FOSS system will find the  AOR and match it as soon as results reach Ottawa.

I still wanna contact Ottawa though to double check when ill have my AOR. hope it helps

Hello guys, I tried accessing ECAS earlier today and all my info is gone: There re jjusr showing my name online, but even my address is gone, so i cant modify or see anything.... weird eh? whats going on really. Is it good or bad news... i last accessed it on Sunday, i think.

[ans]

Welcome to everyone.

eCas is known for its bugs, so I wouldn't worry too much.

My medicals were received by the Buffalo office, although I am not sure exactly when. It took Ottawa less than three weeks to forward all the info to Buffalo. Waiting... Again...

[digital]

Hi ans,

Glad to know that information, how did you find out? from e-cas ? or an e-mail inquiry to buffalo office?

Thanks,
