I got the same thing last year, they asked me to provide a cover letter explaining the situation how the immigration is still under process and she is currently not a canadian resident but my dependent. I asked them if they needed a copy of my Nikah nama, but they said it wasn't needed. SO I just sent the cover letter explaining everything and this year I got my tax refund and they didn't ask for anything else...

Previously file numbers were with B.., now they have moved on a new system and all file numbers are starting from F. I am justing interpreting, please dont consider as a final analysis. However, it seems that all files that have not had their initial reviews yet and AOR perhaps after some cutoff date like October 2010, are experiencing this upgrade. I am sure this will not affect any thing on individual cases and hopefully improve the processing times in days to come Inshallah. All the best

Important information on CIC website that is useful for members on this forum:

"New form for permanent resident applications
As of July 18, 2011, applicants for Permanent Residence are asked to complete the new Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). This new form creates one universal application for all permanent residence categories
Older versions of the permanent resident application form will still be accepted, but only until March 31, 2012"

There are changes in sponsorship application also so any one applying now, please take a look at new forms

Folks ,

I have received following reply from CHC-I

"Your application is currently in process and is in queue for review by an immigration officer."

What does it mean? Can I expect something soon ?
It depends upon your timeline. I got the same reply every time we emailed them (in process/ in queue for review blah blah) and it wasn't until one year had passed that I received any kind of correspondence from the CHC.

In my humble opinion, this is a very STANDARD reply which they send out to anyone they don't feel like answering questions to ie: in our case, I emailed the CHC thrice over a period of 8 months, with different issues every time, but I always got this standard reply minus the new file number in your case.

Secondly, the cut-off after which file numbers started changing was all those applicants who applied after Sept 30, 2010. Last quarter of the year 2010 onwards got messy application-wise.

I need a little guidance and anyone who has faced a similar situation/ or has any suggestions is most welcome to add their comments.

We got our first letter (dated july 9' 2011) asking for re-filled supplement and other forms, along with my husband's passport copy. That makes my Brought Forward date approx 23rd aug. I am planning to travel to the US in Aug/ around eid time but I'm hesitant because my re-med might come during that time frame. Secondly, I've also heard and read of cases where they request the re-med within 20 or so days of submission of documents, which would be great for us, but I'm thinking of the worst-case scenario right now.

Now, my main concern is that assuming I go to the US in aug; and my re-med request comes in the mean time, will I be able to get my re-med done from anywhere (ie: US) as long as I take the re-med form with me (which my father-in-law will send me via courier to the US) or will I have to come back to pakistan, get my med done and THEN wait (in Pak) for god knows how long before they ask me for my passport/ visa issuance?

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

It feels like they are still not very excited about the proof you have sent to them so far because it takes them about 4-6 weeks to open your mail (unless it is the situation where they have not reviewed your sent proof so far), as stated in their email, keep loading them with as much proof as possible I would say on Monthly basis and they may end up waiving off interview as it has happened to few members.
