Dear Sir/Madam,



Regarding: F000000600



Your application is part of an inventory of files where the transfer of files from Islamabad has affected the local processing times. At the time of the transfer, the processing time for Family Class applications in Islamabad exceeded 32 months. Since the transfer, we have been devoting resources to process this inventory and bring the processing time within the departmental standard of 12 months. The processing time has already improved significantly. However, we have not reached the departmental standard yet. In order to give you a sense of the current processing time on the inventory of files transferred from Islamabad or other files in that inventory, please note that we are currently reviewing applications submitted in May- June 2013.



Rest assured that as soon as your file is reviewed, we will contact you about the next steps. Please wait to hear from us and refrain from sending repeat status requests as this takes us away from processing files. We urge you not to send additional documentation or undergo renewed medicals until we have requested these from you.



We hope this is of assistance.



Regards,

Has anyone recently landed !! need information on what documents should my wife have while travelling. Is there a form she is supposed to fill and carry ? They asked for original Marriage Certificate and Birth Cirtificate but we send them to CIC when and never got them back. Also does anyone know when we get all our original documents back and on which address. ?
She just needs to have her COPR and passport with valid visa.... as long as she's travelling with less than $10000 she should b fine.... in my wife's case when she landed in March 2014 the customs officer didn't ask to see anything.... he just asked her a couple of questions to fill out her PR application...

The original documents seems to b an issue for most ppl who are recently getting their PPR's.... in my case I received mine back a year after I submitted my application.... I received them back from CPP-Ottawa at my home address in Toronto.... the process was different back then I guess.... not sure if ppl recently have had any luck getting their original documents back

This reply is generic and has been received by few other members here on the forums.

It does answer that London has not permanently taken over processing of files from Islamabad (only a temporary measure till the 33 month processing standard drops down to ... a lot less).

They are reviewing May-June 2013, yes, but never confirmed they are still applying the first-in first-out policy so that's out the doors ... we saw it coming when our files were mass transferred to Ottawa.

If thats the case, then i am just going to go back and get it done! It will give me an excuse to go see him again! :)

How long does it typically take after that, do you know? ..

Just wondering so if i go and get rukhsuti, i will stay there until he receives his visa, otherwise will come back and go closer to the arrival date.
I have no idea how long it could take. They are quite unpredictable. I think you should wait for the letter and see what the content is all about and then decide accordingly.
