Congratulations and Happy dragon New Year!! :)

Hi! seems like a standard practice :) we had the same experience in Ontario, however without the long wait - we were done in about 40 mins including Canadians and the US side :)

hi! have you contacted CSIS and border agency? I think you should do that first, before contacting MP - in your case, reply from those agencies can be both status check-up and proof of urgency for MP, ofc if you will still need MP's help after you get info regarding b/checks.

what newdelhi2011 saying is true - it depends on situation, but 48 hrs timeline - according to the law, I guess. It happened to us when we didn't get reply within this timeline, so MP had to contact them again after this timeline in order to receive information. You don't have to worry if the...

Hi! usually they say they get feedback/reply from CIC within 48 hours, for sure not 4-5 biz days! it also depends on how fast your MP sends a request for information.

Hi! have you tried to contact the agencies who're conducting the checks? Hope you guys can sort it out very soon.

yeah, indeed! :) the wait was a nightmare. after it was all over, we had no emotions left, we're both just filled with silent happiness it's over..if the decision is positive, it means you've done everything right. :) it looks like our case time-line is abnormal, so others who choose this visa...

Hi! sure it's good if you ask - the forum's main idea is to share - right? :) we have no idea why it took so long. the office never asked us about anything regarding documentation or any info. since they received our application in London, they never contacted us in order to request any...

Hi Can4Vincy, it took them 7 weeks after 2nd medicals were received to make a decision and request passport. I guess they would take longer if not us contacting MP again. maybe it's time for you to contact them or your MP as well? think about it. hope this helps :)

Hi Pinklady! hope you're still here monitoring and observing :) (sorry for my English, not native) I'd like to be added to the spreadsheet as well, please. Canadian Visa Office: London, UK Application Filed: 20 Sep 2010 First Med-s done: 10 Apr 2010 Sponsorship Approved: 20 Oct 2010 File...

Re: London Office hi Hi, Imran! yes, correct - she can mail her passport in and have it stamped without making a trip to the UK. at least in our case this wasn't a problem at all. and then ur wife can land anytime before her visa expires.

Looks like our nightmare-like process coming to an end - passport request finally received. thanks everyone for all the valuable info :) September applications who're still in the process - wish you luck and hope you'll get it very soon!

congratulations, guys!! :)

ubernemo,this reply from cic is very sad.. but at least you got an answer - btw, we're been waiting from Sept. 2010, simple case, all the docs provided (incl. all PCs, labor book, degrees and certificates), both professionals without children, first marriage etc. I guess our relationship was...

lala2010, congratulations!!! and thanks for sharing - those of us who're still waiting can have a boost of hope :))

we've ordered 3 sets of CAIPS before, as well as emailed VO London few times. in the notes and emails BOTH they say they're awaiting background inquiries back to VO?!?! CSIS completed and sent back their conclusion 7 months ago, CBSA never received the request. It means that literally VO L just...

Hi! you can gather some ideas of what to provide for proof of relationship here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/best-guidelines-advice-proof-of-relationship-t61283.0.html

humpakwatan, thank you so much and respect to you! :)) have you contacted them yourself? we've sent them an e-mail and they responded to us back on the next day telling that they haven't received any request for b/checks - even referred us to order CAIPS notes. I'm confused - looks like CIC...

guys, did anyone contact CBSA? how to contact them? got a reply from CSIS - they've finished their part of checks and provided them to CIC in the beginning of February (it took less than a month). CIC is still telling us that there are b/checks ongoing. does this mean they have CBSA involved...
