    New CEC - Jan 2013 Applications

    Landed yesterday in Prescott, by land. Extremely rude CBSA officer did his best to make me feel very unwelcomed. The -32C Weather today too. I have a quick question. Do I have to wait for the PR card before travelling? My guess is that I am on their files now, so I should be free to travel...

    Hey Zara, thanks for your reply. Apparently this happens to many, so it's worth putting this info out there. Anyways, yes, I sent them the scan of the sheet the doc gave me + my UMI + the name of the Doc + all the receipts for the exam, including Xray and Blood test. Still waiting for any...

    Hello all. Long time no hear. I thought I would give you some juicy news regarding my application. Last I hear from CIC was back on November 29th, as I received my MR. I did my medicals on December 3rd, 2013. The Clinic sent them to CIC on December 17th, 2013. Today, I received from CIC a...

    Picking randomly?! A more logical thought

    I thought about that too, as I travel a LOT. However, I know of other frequent fliers that appied for CEC that got processed way faster than me. Maybe it's just because I am ugly... ;D

    Picking randomly?! A more logical thought

    I am skill A, with a PhD and a permanent and life-lasting job. Yet, my application has started being processed way after people who applied after me. Fact: Processing appears to be completely random and solely depends on which VO is working on your app. Morale: I thinks that patience is key...

    Same here: We started processing your application on December 5, 2013 That's two days after I did my medicals. Not sure if these are both related - i.e. Whether they updated after receiving medicals...of if it's random.

    Folks, a quick question. Once you are done with the medicals, do you have to inform CIC that the medical process is complete, or we don't have to do anything and wait for news from CIC? In other words, how can we ensure that the results have indeed been sent by the doctor, and received by CIC...

    Man. Thanks for taking the time to update the spreadsheet. I think every forum reader owes you a drink of two, for sure. Did you get some news, by the way? Today, I have received Biodata and RPRF fee. All filed, paid, and submitted back by email. I have one question. One of the first...

    Suvan. more than half of January applicants are still waiting on any kind of news... That's FAR from what I would call "being nearly done " ;)

    It's all good man. I have been crying for the past 4 months :D This being said, the latest MRs/RPRFs etc...seem to follow the date at which AORs have been received, which suggest they are actually (at least for the January section) working on a "first come - first served" basis... At least...

    Good. Timeline please - i.e. date your application was received and ate you received your AOR - this would help us "try" to understand what CIC (also known as the Huge Black Void) is up to these days... Thanks.

    I have never bothered doing it, simply because I know that would frustrate me even more.
