The strike is affecting everybody. All processing is delayed and you will just have to be patient, like the rest of us. Assume it's going to add at least two months to the application process time. Then you will not be disappointed.

Each person's GCMS notes can be different (sponsor and applicant) and generally it is best for you to both sign a release of information and send that along so you get information for both of you at the same time.

Any time someone's file is forwarded to a local office I recommend they send in an ATIP inquiry so they know why the application was forwarded to a local office. So you should definitely request this information. You only want the electronic case notes, you don't need the physical file.

If they say it is in queue it means it's still in the pile awaiting review.

Get your notes. You'll know within a month because you will either hear from the local office OR you will get your notes and learn from them why it was referred to a local office.
Thank you so much for the reply. I will request my gcm notes. Also do you think it's still advisable to extend my husband visitors' visa? Do you think it will still take long before I will receive any response from cic etobicoke?

Different applications take differing periods of time depending on circumstances of applicants, Visa Office processing the application, etc.

Hey I have a question, if the visa office we have specified for processing our application is not the visa office responsible for our
country of nationality, what is the time period (if any) that has to be minimal for us to be in that country for which the specified visa office could be held responsible? In other words, how long do we have to be in a country before we could select its visa office? or is there such time limit?

I thought it was a year.. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/apply-where.asp confirms that.

I can not speculate any more

What could be wrong with our application..... I have re-submitted medical and pcc as per their instruction. So far they have not asked for interview or any other proof........
CAIPS results awaited and they are not responding to my lawyer.... We did MP inquiry twice but results were fruitless... nothing concrete.....

App send April 2012
First step - July 2012 - passport to delhi - July - 2012
Re medical - PCC - April - 2013
Inprocess - March - 2013

No news since than


Any thoughts..........

Thank you so much, so does that mean that if i have been given visa this April until April 2014 i can apply this year in September. Even though i have not been in this country for one year but i now have a one year visa so that makes me eligible? right?

You don't ask him/her for a favour. You ask them about the status of your application. You tell them that waiting any longer then 6 months for a visa is ridiculous. You tell them that the job action is not your problem. That you elect officials to government to avert labour unrest not encourage it.

Something like that.

What exactly they can do other then status check if file and passport is with them without any results from past 13 months. I even dont know what problem do that have with my file... They have not asked for interview or supplementary documents. Yes they did ask for new medical pcc that was also four months back.....

No, you must have been there for at least one year. It says "have been" not "will be". I read that as historical not permissive.
