Dear friends,
I am new to this forum but have been on a continuous quest to learn more about Canadian immigration and the processing time. My application for permanent residence was received on 8 April 2010 and status currently shows "Your application was reviewed and we started processing on March 15, 2012"- "In process".
I have one major concern, all my original documents (including educational, work, bank docs and supporting docs of my husband and aunt residing in Canada) were returned without any letter notifications. My police certificate, passport copies and Ielts are still with them.Later when i inquired they said that "All irreplaceable original documents, which were not obtained for the purpose of submitting an application for immigration, are being returned to you" the email also stated that "It has been reviewed by an officer and found to be eligible for further processing. We anticipate being able to advise you of the next processing steps in 6 to 12 months’ time. Please note that your application is still subject to admissibility checks and verifications that are deemed necessary. You should not take any irrevocable action such as selling your property, quitting your job, or buying plane tickets until we have advised you of the final decision on your application".
Anyone experienced this kind of situation??
