To Q1: It's possible. Different office has different practice. For me, mine was processed in Ottawa, my passport request came 1 YEAR AFTER my medical exam request. To Q2: I think to be safe, retain a lawyer. But if I were you, I may not mention at this point, because you ARE GOING TO GET...

Thank you. I totally see what you mean. I was bugging my local MP a lot before to get my status updates too. Life is pretty much the same as before PR, since I came here on work permit and settled here ever since 2008. However, the biggest advantage of having PR for now is I can go get...

I won't say that they would do that intentionally, but imagine, if you request the status, they would need to wait till some one is available to look at your request, then give you an update, so that would probabely take some time. That way, you entire processing might be slowed down. However...

Hi guys, After almost 3.5 years wait, I finally got it (refer to my earlier post for timeline). On Apr 24, 2013 I received passport request in an email. On 26 I sent out to Canadian NY consulate (seems this is the office putting visa sticker for FSW). May 1 they received it and posted the...

Hey guys, After applying for PR in March 2010, submitting medical in May 2012, yesterday I finally got an email from Ottawa instructing me to send my passport to NYC Consulate for PR visa issuance within 15 days. Whole family was happy yet my husband and I got into a fight. The arguement was...

Whoa....Hold your fire right there.... I sent out my request for the police certificate before I posted.

Received an email from Ottawa asking for a Police Certificate from a state I ever resided in the US. I did submitted my police certificate from FBI and also my home country, so this request came as a surprise. Anyhow, just wanted to update you guys. Anyone lived/living in the States ever had...

Thank you so much for sharing this. It is very helpful. One thing a little confusing here is your quote of what CIC gave you on the definitions (or maybe you just had a little typo). For Processed, you quoted as ".....it's sitting on a shelf until it gets assessed (I guess you might mean...

Thanks for sharing this link. I see many of us here are having the impression that actually applications received between June 26, 2010 and June 30,2012 will be dealt first. Then applications before June 2010 will be dealt afterwards. I assume this impression was due to the wording of this...

That's not bad, at least it's showing your Meds is received. My status is showing my application is still with Buffalo which is absolutly not ture. Here is mine situation, FYI: My application was approved by CIO in April 2010 and they instructed me to forward my application to Buffalo in May...

Congrats on your landing, glowingheart. Seeing your update is definitely encouraging. Many posts here are saying that applications before June 2010 will be the very last priority, but you got yours done already so that's great. PPR comes as an email? Not a regular mail? Thanks.

Hi guys, My application was approved by CIO in April 2010 and they instructed me to forward my application to Buffalo in May 2010. I received my medical request in April 2012, togeter with additional documents. I gathered everything and finished up the medical exam and sent them out in May...

Hi, Mine is as follows: Category........: FSW3 Visa Office......: Buffalo Job Offer........: Yes App. Filed with CIO.......: March 8, 2010 File Transferred to VO...: May 4, 2010 AOR from VO...:Nov 2, 2010 Med's Request: April 17, 2012 Med's Sent with add'l Docs....: May 24, 2012...

Timeline for which one? PR or WP?

Thanks a lot my friend. My work permit already expired and I got a new LMO and a new WP too. The new one is expiring in 1.5 years. I called the local MP office and they suggest wait for eCAS to update, so that I will know where my application went. Then they can help me. Seems there is no...
