    Hi all, Finally I've received my passport on Aug 16th and did the landing on the same day. It's a very smooth process that the officer just asked questions that stated on CoPR and had me to put my initial on it. Without any other questions like available funds in bank. After five minutes, we...

    congrats!! I'm just wondering did you put your application number on your envelopes (including the return one)? my passport arrived ottawa by July 26th and my tracker is still not activated yet. Hope that I will get my passport return soon.

    Thanks Asbereth, this forum really helps me a lot. And I have visited this website at least 10-20 times per day (paranoid me) so that I was able to know how to update my reference letter with the "magical word". For RFRF, Yes, I send it to them on the same day, July 17th. But I guess they...

    Thanks kaziahmmed! I think proactively send in the updated ref letter does help. The common thing that I share with Mohazy and HTC2013 is we do proactively send in updated documents.

    Thanks NeverGiveUp for the quick response. I've paid the fees through the link but my question is what's next and how to get Ottawa office attach my receipt to my application. Anyway, I've found the answer. :) I'll send the scanned copy of my receipt to CPPO-Cost-Recovery@cic.gc.ca

    No. I din't change the new section 3. I don't think I have to cause what was missing in my first letter is the magic word "assist". Although I have further evaluated my job description with more details but the core ideas are the same.

    Thanks. Hope you hear from Ottawa soon. I have to send two PCCs in total which are Malaysia and HK. I have send PCC from M'sia together with my application but don't have the one from HK. In March, Ottawa requested POF and PCC from HK which I have send them in right away.

    My ecas is still showing "we received your application on Nov...." Yes, maybe that's the case. Also my husband had applied through CEC before and he waited for more than a year and half to get the rejection letter. I applied through phd stream right after he got the rejection letter. So maybe...

    Yes, I have send them email after sending the doc, but no reply at all. Anyway, I applied caips back in April and I found that they have actually attached my new letter to my file.

    Hi all, I've just received medical request today!! Hopefully this indicates that I've passed all the eligibility test? You might notice that I've applied in Nov 2012, it's a quick process for me. Maybe because I proactively send in a new employment letter when they request for 6 months bank...

    Actually this is normal. I've send a new letter on March 2nd and made an inquiry on March 10th. But until now I still haven't got any reply from them, it has been more than two months. So I sent the letter by mail again in mid April. Later when I checked on my CAIPS, they actually got my email...
