I applied for SW class. My medical results were sent by the hospital 3 months ago.
Shouldn't I have heard something by now? it says it may take up to 4 weeks.... 3 months later I haven't received any notice, letter, email, smoke signal, or seen any change on my e-cas. Is this normal or should I start enquiring?
Anyone care to share their experience? I'm kinda starting to worry a bit....
THanks

Good to hear that it's not just me... though I don't know if it's a good thing or not.
Lets see what other people say...

yojimbo,i think you should not judge your case based on other's cases cos each case is perculiar.i had my medicals in feb 2007 and i just got ppr on oct 22.the normal time is 3 months agreed but it does not work that way all the time.just be patient with the embassy,u will surely get ppr soon.soj

Soj,
Whhhaaattt? 8 months wait after medicals? damn, this process is not helping any long term planning... Today is officially 3 months since the hospital sent those results.
I applied by myself through Caracas... so, the waiting game continues, eh?
But shouldn't there be some posting on the e-cas saying that they've received the results, waiting for them, are processing, I don't know, something else than "We start to process your application o on the... "....?

yojimbo,it will surprise you that my status online has not changed eventhough i have been asked to appear in person within the next 60days for my visa.e-cas is not reliable so just cross your fingers and wait patiently,i know it can be very frustrating but there is nothing one can do.soj

frustrating?... tell me about it. My company wants to know if I will continue with them for the next year... I can't keep this whishiwashi answering... if I get my visa in the next 4 months I will go to Canada, but if dont' I will continue here.... so the answer is to my re-contracting is,
tic,
toc,
tic,

Yojimbo,
This could be frustrating honestly. If you check processing time dates keep increasing and they are not doing anything about it. It seems they do not realise that one has made up his mind and his mind already in Canada the day one put in his application. This waiting game is too much men.

Thanks for the support guys. I went ahead and said NO to my re-contracting... cuz you gotta have faith-ah, faith-ah, faith-aaahhh.
On that support note, talk about a humbling read... that "DECISION MADE" post made my anxiousness of seeing some sign of life on my e-cas vanish, dissapear, gone...
Truth be told, my case is going pretty fast. My application started processing August last year and they asked for my medicals in May. I was only able to go to the hospital in July, results sent in August. The contrat of speed is what is throwing me off.
DECISION MADE... talk about making 99% of the people on this forum more nervous... Bob: "Good morning Bill, your application has been processing a while now, they should have MADE a DECISION by now..." Bill: "NNNNNOOOOOooooooo... No disassemble!, NO DISASSEMBLE!" <---(joke from old movie)
By the way, Oloye, is there a way to pronounce your name? O-lo-ye / oo-loo-yi / o-lo-ee.

Take your time. Every single day I keep checking for my mails, hoping to see the Passport request. Today, while checking I see a yellow envelop I thought .... Guess what ?
That envelop had nothing to see with... So still in process till, till, till ... for ever !

Dear Yojimbo,
Good decision by not renewing your contract you are almost there. You can pronounce my name as you like the bottom line is that idea is mostly needed. Keep us posted of further development as you know that we are all learning.
And to you Aroyo your ppr will come shortly i can understand that there is alot of anxiety at this stage. We will all be there.
Oloye

I like the gotta have faith issue you talked about and I know it will work for you. I promise that very soon, sooner than u expect u will share the good news with us all here. I will you all the best. This Immigration thing has to do with plenty of guts and faith in God too. It is one thing to make the points, it's another thing to pass the police check, it's one thing here & there ............u'll know. But however, at the end of the day by God's special grace, it will be worth it. I also think the time it takes for passport requests also has to do with the officer handling one's case. In short each person's case is peculiar. But however,Yojimbo, your goodnews is around the corner. ALL THE BEST! |

you know, this forum thing is great. I now look forward to reading everybody's problems in here instead of worrying about my papers coming... I mean, it's a good distraction while waiting...
I wonder if there's anyone else in the "3+ months after medicals" boat... what do you think aroyo, are we the only ones in this sea of waiting? It just occured to me: sooner or later, it will just be one...

I am now just one week away from the 3 months. It seems that only you and I are in this boat. Now, we should decide who's the captain

captain? I see this situation more like a old raft at open sea, hopefully we'll get to shore... and talking about shore, I will call my embassy today to ask if they have received my documents. Well that will be the excuse to call them and ask about my case. I think it's a fair question - or so I have convinced myself.
... let's see what's the use of calling...

Well, it seems that for the embassy the 1 hour a day that they serve the public by phone means changing pre-recorded message, again with no way to access a human. It was impossible to speak to anybody.
But in the maze of pre-recorded options there was one that said that the rules of CIC do not permit agents to give any information about processing cases over the phone. To inquire you apparently have to do it by mail or fax.
I was expecting something like that...
