Hi Yasmine, Congratulations on your PPR! Yours was a long time coming. We did not have any issues whatsoever. Not from the embassy, not at the border. Even the GCMS notes did not mention this as a problem (it wasn't mentioned at all)

Hi everyone, In regards to GCMS here's our situation: 1st set of notes: - Ordered on July 26th - Recieved automatic reply with reciept number - Sent immediate follow-up via email to confirm we ordered copy of electronic files on July 26th - Received reply on August 7th with tracking number and...

Thank you Rob!

Hi Betina, I understand you, I used to think the same whenever I saw someone going "PPR, COPR, VISA!!!" ... you're happy that someone else has progressed, that things are moving along, but you can't stop wondering "When will my turn come?" :'( Well, I trust that yours will come soon. Based...

Hello everyone, I've done quite a bit of searching on the topic and mostly came across topics from the Bristish Expat's forums and a bit here, but did anyone flagpole in Alberta at Carway or Coutts once they've received their COPR and visa from an outland application? We are not from a visa...

Our hopes and wishes go for those who are still waiting. Don't be discouraged, the anxiety will be over soon! We will be flag poling tomorrow at the Coutts-Sweetgrass Canada/US border. Hopefully no one will give us a hard time.

Our ECAS changed to "Decision Made" today and as of yesterday we are tracking our pre-paid envelope from Romania with mysterious contents! :)

Based on our experience this means that the file is in queue to be reviewed, i.e. it has been received by the visa office, but no significant work has commenced on it as of yet.

Hi Betina, Yes, I hate that feeling when, like a child that wants something from their parents, takes the long way around to try to get what they need. I really wish it would be a stated fact that visa offices are not subject to fear from their clients to piss them off with a simple inquiry on...

It's a strange feeling. The joy has been replaced with worry (our passport is only valid for 6.5 months but they've requested a passport with a 12 month validity. However, the visa will expire before the passport does, so I hope this shouldn't be an issue) since even though it's usually the end...

Hello everyone! Great news from us!!! Last week on Thursday our ECAS changed to "In Process" and the following lines appeared: 2. We started processing your application on September 9, 2013. 3. Medical results have been received. And this morning we woke up to find the long-awaited PPR in...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall reading somewhere on this forum or on CIC's website that Ottawa actually handles all cases for the Islamabad VO (either as a temporary measure or permanent).

Any news from anyone? So after two vague emails about our file with no timeline whatsoever, we've ordered another set of GCMS notes. At 5$ a piece, it's way better than checking ECAS everyday. On a side note, we are now waiting for the extension of my wife's status in Canada as a visitor...

Hello everyone, Guest what day this is? That's right, cryptic e-mail Wednesday!!! :D After our last case specific enquiry, where we were told that we were in queue and left us hanging as far as the medical results, I replied to them and asked whether or not it is normal for the results to not...

FYI the PSLRB hearing was on August 21st and they are now awaiting a decision which is said to be released in "due course". Which doesn't really mean anything :) After that, both parties will have 30 days to appeal the decision. So best case scenario strike should be over in x + 30 days, where...
