I am totally surprised, i thought my file is taking too long because of BG checks and my MP told me this is the last check remaining on my file.. but according to Sharu and march11pr, they already passed BG checks in May and July respectively than why these guys were kept on hold!!!! any particular reason??

@Sarruu,

Do you know any officer is assigned to your file in Ottawa that you know of?

Nobody has looked at my file at Ottawa yet. I think once they look and extend medicals it shouldnt be long. I am not sure the reason for your checks, 2 years is a fair bit of time..

Hello,
I have a question and I would be grateful if you help me with it. As you mentioned in your post, you have contacted the MP regarding your case. I was wondering how I should contact MP, and what would be the format of the letter or email to him. Are they quick in responding to these kinds of inquiries?

Best regards,
Nega

Give a call to your local MP and explain your concerns, his/her assitant will let you know if the require formal enquiry from you. In most cases they do contact CIC and you will get your answers for sure through this chanel.

You can find you local MP at the following:

http://www.parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC

When you found his/her name, you should send a letter to their email describing your situation.
You can also give a call, but email if better for follow ups.

Case by case is different. some like me get response in 3 days, and some might have to wait for 2 weeks.
thats the norm. (1-2 week)

your letter can be either formal, or friendly.
they usually have a secretary taking care of the issue.

I am always around bud :) .. Snow - tell me about it, its been snowing all month here. I cant even remember the real colour of the ground, its always white haha..
Its been a late winter here, and i really hope it also go very soon;
I really need some good and hot news to keep myself ready for the winter.

I like it when it snows like now. not too much,
nut this is just the begining. life gets tougher soon.

A month of snow already, oh boy that is something.
I dont think I can afford moving any nothern. I would prefer to go to tropicals ... I miss my life on the Equator...

If you are PNP than don't worry about Eigibility - its already passed but they usually don't update the value.
Criminality - Shouldn't take too long probably two weeks, during that time they will aslo figure out if additional checks are required.
Security - If additional checks are required, this check will be conducted else it will be ignored.

Summary - you are almost there, just pray they don't require Additional BG checks - and you are just a month from today.
hope your words turn out to be true...

they asked me to send my passport to Detroit.
the thing is that they gave me only 30 days to send my passport, and I have a flight booked in 3 weeks to spend christmas with my family (3 weeks is not enough for Detroit to send back my passport + landing visa)
so I was thinking of doing a same day landing visa, enter back Canada with my work permit+regular visa (TRV) that I already have, then do my landing when i come back from my christmas vacation in January. do you think this is possible?
