 @ manpap
did u email your MP or went to the office in person? did you sign the consent form?
By law VO has to respond to MP inquiries within 48 hours. so i suggest you call your MP office again if you have signed the consent form already.

also sounds like you got a computer generated letter. these letter's are auto generated based on what officer checks off. eg when you move from stage 1 to 2, if in the document checklist officer forgets to check off all the documents received, the system will generate a letter for missing document and it will be printed at the mail services to be mailed out. this is what happened to you.
does ur letter look something like this?

Thank you Siva, balibali, singhson for your valuable suggestions.

So far we sent 3 CSE's, 2 emails, 1 original copy of the DHL receipt, DHL-Proof of Delivery- which has the Visa officer signature and date, previously received CIC letters  and a cover letter neatly explaining our timeline and also did a MP inquiry. What's frustrating and annoying is that we did not get any reply from CIC nor we heard anything from MP office. I'm trying every day to fax these documents and all I get is a - "number busy message". 

Third request for passport- letter that we received on January 30 2012 did not have a Visa office signature - nor it stated "Its a valid computer generated letter and does not need a signature" but had a deadline to submit passport by March 15.  They only asked for passport in the letter.

Everything is so messed up in the CIC NewDelhi office and there is no one we can talk to nor complain. Thankyou for you wonderful suggestions and help, I will keep you posted as and when i hear something about my case.

Best Wishes.

congrats
$10000 limit is cash
you can take your jewelry and other personal stuff custom free, just let the officer know. you have one year to bring your personal items custom free but you have to tell customs of what they are when you arrive the first time.

I received my passport yesterday with visa. It was issued on 31st jan, not feb 4. FINALLY done. We are preparaing to leave..I read that they might ask for marriage certificate and other stuff.I have the original in canada, I hope photocopy would work too. And also the amount u can carry is 10,000..is that just the cash u can carry or it includes other things u r taking, e.g jewelleries??

Congrats to you all who received visa..and good luck to rest of you!

When you'll say $10,000 in cash, does that include travellers cheques etc?

I got my Saudi visa

Congrats!
How is your pox now?

My opinion, "Cash and Such" = also includes travellers cheque. It is just as good as cash.
What about bankers draft made in "self"?

i think the principle is to classify money into "traceable" (through accounts) and "non traceable" (cash and such)

 @ Singhson / Cival / Rozine

The CBSA says that there is no limit to bring in cash (please read further)
however,

Is there a limit on the amount of money I can bring in or take out of Canada?

No. The requirements simply state that you must file a report if the amount meets or exceeds the value of CAN$10,000.

Ultimately "traceability" matters

Thank you very much SinghSon. The letter i received was similar to the one you have posted and as you said i hope it is an auto generated letter printed out at Mailing services. Regarding MP inquiry, I personally spoke with the MP assistant and signed the "Form of Consent". I was told usually CIC take upto a week to respond and MP office would communicate the message to me as soon as they hear from CIC New Delhi.

I spoke with the MP's assistant this morning and she told me "At this point of time, she knows as much as i know and I have to be patient until further communication from the CIC/MP's office".

After reading your post, I can relax a little bit and hope everything is fine.

Thankyou once again for your prompt reply and have a great day.
 
Best Wishes

hey siva thanks for catching my error for not being clear, i didn;t mean to imply there is a limit, meant to say $10000 is a limit before it needs to be declared...its part of the anti-money laundering legislation that every country around the world has.

From what I see so far, all ppl who got DM in Feb, got the visa directly without any updates in E-CAS.

So ND stopped updating E-CAS anymore ?!
