dont be a helpess victim! start emailing and faxing them right away! demand an answer and they will respond. that is what i did when they would not acknowledge whether my wife's foreign repcc was recieved. i raised hell. i emailed every office where my file had been at. i uploaded the repcc copy and tcs receipt on every cic webform and my wife faxed the same to the islamabad office.

on june 24 - the day that my wife sent the fax- the ppr came. i then received an email from ottawa that they had received my wifes repcc on june 24..talk about coincidence...obviously somebody wasn't doing their job and i had to wake them from their slumber... :mad:

wow i just read your timeline and this is really really sad and it makes me angry ...you are a 2010 applicant and they haven't returned your husbands passport after asking for it 17 months ago! :mad:

u r a canadian citizen right? well fly down there and go to the embassy there and talk to someone face to face...that is what mimac did.

Today it's the end of 4th Week and I have still not received my passports back from Islamabad VO.

I had sent a CSI to which they had replied to wait for 4 weeks , if after 4 weeks the situation is same then I may contact the LVO .

Please guide. Should I forward a CSI again today ?
What;s a CSI and how do you send one. what's the process?
