Well, let's call it graduating on to the Buffalo thread full time. Not much left in common with this motley crue ;) I joke, I joke :D

GCMS notes are the new name for the CAIPS notes.

Yeah, Dair had to resend her undertaking and whatever else made up sponsorship approval docs because she left something blank. BB didn't get it back and didn't get a sponsorship approval or denial, she just got no real explanation as to why it was still in process. This might have changed, for all I know.

Medical results haven't appeared in my e-cas yet, and although they might later, I just want to take the bull by the horns because I don't think I trust those clinic people (did you know my clinic is called the clinic of industrial medicine in French?) and these government people to shepherd my papers home.
Lol, Motley Crue is one of my husband's favorite.

Thanks for telling me about GCMS. I thought it is still called CAIPS.

Oh, BBs case is weird, I hope this time she is already getting a response. But you know, it could be that the post mail got lost on its way to UK.

Hmmm, hope Medical results will soon appear in your e-cas. Updates in Manila is usually on a Thursday. I am not sure for Buffalo though.

I am lucky with my DMP, they all (assistants and doctor) dealt with me professionally from the very start. They all seem to know and sure on what they were doing. On my second day, I met the doctor and had my physical exam, interviewed me and then explained my lab results. And lastly, he gave me instructions, to sign the form and send it together with my application and blah blah blah. A few months after medical, I called them and told me that they sent my result 3 days after the medical check-up. Well, just sharing my experience with my DMP because it was a very pleasant one. :)

Good luck to all of us with this Immigration thing. This too, will soon end, my friend ;)

Nope, I was referring to when they got our passports :)

Saskatoon bound, so is it like 5 hours drive to Calgary? You are in Calgary, right? I think I saw your profile in our FB forum :) I am so sure it is yours based on your alias. lols ...

Do not get crazy yet , too early :p :p :p Feel blessed that ours is on its way :) Maybe they are still busy stamping our visas. They do it by batch, as so I have noticed based on the trend of previous batches :)

Good luck .... I called DHL, nothing from Canadian Embassy yet . . . .

Hahaha, yeap and there are actually 5 of us. And three of us have exactly the same date. The other one is almost the same as yours. Only one did not get DM yet but that is because she is in BC right now and her PPR got lost along the way. Anyways, all is good for her now. Her PP is already with CEM Manila :)

Thanks Arian. Actually, there are four of us out of 7. And the other two received their pprs late (one is in Canada and the other one changed address). And you are the third one who is not DM yet.

Maybe it has something to do with your police clearance. But if they are not insisting on it, maybe they are just doing a little bit reviewing and hopefully you will get your DM soon.
Yay, I'm 1 of the 3 who did not get DM. I hope they are not sitting and waiting for my husband's Libya police clearance :( in which we already sent letter saying there is no way we can get one and some proof that we did tried :( Eventhough Gadhafi had left Libya, they still have a lot to deal with instead of issuing police clearance to a former foreign worker:) Any way to know if what the VO's take on this? My husband also sent email hoping they will tell us if that is sufficient enough or we still have to pursue on getting one. Besides the acknowledgment that they received the email, there is really no response regarding this matter. I don't want VO to sit on my application waiting for nothing. Thanks.

Nope, not yet. I'd be freaking out once someone got the visa already. I sure hope, we will get it soon :) Tickets prices sucks for one way :)
I wish they will have another promo. :)
