Anyone from March still waiting? We're waiting on Dakar office...losing hope. It's been a long journey.

We just received PPR but medical will expire in 2 weeks. We are applying through Dakar, Senegal and they provided us with 30 days to submit all documents, I am worried that this is not feasible in our situation so I have requested an extension. Has anyone successfully received an extension to...

Finally got the email requesting passport today...we will have to redo medical as I don't see them completing the visa process in under 3 weeks and his current medical expires then. I am wondering - did anyone have luck when requesting an extension to the 30 day window to provide passport and...

On December 5th, 2016 we submitted our permanent landing fee (arrived in Mississauga December 8th) as well as our removal costs and ARC processing fee which we promptly submitted to Dakar. This week we received the following email from Dakar: "Dear applicant, We have well received the...

Anyone else from March still awaiting a DM? It's been a long wait…(Dakar visa office).

My timeline: App received by CIC: March 10th, 2016 Started Processing: May 19th, 2016 SA: June 15th, 2016 Medical results sent in on July 18th, 2016 but they weren't actually updated on file until November 11th, 2016 after we were in touch with our MP. December 1st, 2016 they requested final...

Hi Chou88, I'm really sorry to hear about your situation… We also have an application with Dakar right now. They have not yet asked for my SO's passport but every time we try to contact the Dakar office they are either extremely late getting back to us, or don't get back to us at all. For...

*URGENT QUESTION* Can someone please confirm how to contact Dakar? I have been using the webform for the Dakar office on the CIC website, however, I got an email today that said it is not going directly to the Dakar Office and to contact them directly - well how on earth do I do that??? The...

Thank-you. The applicant has never been fingerprinted before so it is not possible that there has been a match. It has been more than a month and I contacted the RCMP who was unable to provide me with a reason why it's taking so long. Do visa offices provide extensions to their 60day...

I am wondering if anyone has experience dealing with this company for RCMP clearance? Long story short, Dakar Visa office contacted us to have applicant submit RCMP fingerprinting clearance on December 1st, 2016. They gave us a 60 day deadline, applicant was in the USA and he had ink-rolled...

RCMP Fingerprinting question… Fingerprints were requested from my husband on December 1st (from RCMP). December 4th his ink-rolled fingerprints were received by the 3rd party company The Fingerprint Room to be digitized and sent to the RCMP. We have still had no word from the RCMP, we have...

Thank-you for your help Timosky. I am wondering if anyone knows if Dakar only accepts cheque/money order payment for ARC and the "Frais de renvoi"? In their email to us they only mentioned those two methods of payment, however, on the CIC website it has the option to pay both via CC. I...

Can someone please tell me what this means and what we have to do in order to get it? "Ø Vous devez présenter une demande d’autorisation de retour au Canada, étant donné que vous avez fait l’objet d’une mesure d’exclusion. Vous devez indiquer pourquoi des éléments particuliers doivent être...

Hi everyone! It's so exciting to seem some progress coming out of the Dakar office…We are still waiting to hear any update on our file. I received SA May 19th and we sent medical results in at the beginning of July and there has been no update in regards to them. Contacted our MP once again...

I have "decision made" now on the sponsor side…what exactly does this mean? Also may i ask how do you order the notes or the gcms that people are referring to here? Thanks in advance…
