    Hello all, We landed Saturday morning in peace arch park, Vancouver. If any of you plans to land there, you should take Highway 99 SB and turn right at beach road before the border. Pay attention that beach road is the last exit. Don't miss it! There are two parking lots there, the first one is...

    Thank you Hamed,Beh, and Aidina! I don't know about my last due date because I did not order GCMS anymore. In my last GCMS which was issued in August 28, my due date was October 28. Based on what I see on my second GCMS (it was hidden in the third one), under 'Application', my security must...

    It seems the officers were working until midnight tonight. We finally received passport request 237 days after sending the medicals. I wish all of you hear good news about your applications soon :)

    We also don't have any 'decision made' 8 months after sending the medicals. Nevertheless, your news was encouraging beh467 ;-) Thanks!

    Thanks beh! They are not consistent. Their behavior is not even close to linear ;-) Therefore I hope you guys hear from them one of these days :-)

    It's very probable that soon they update your due date to March 6, 2014. They are very strict on updating the due dates (not meeting them) ;-) One of my due dates was July 28, 2013, then they updated it to October 28, 2013. Today it's October 30 and still no news.

    It seems there is not much activity here these days. So let's listen to this ;-) http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2013/10/11/canadian-border-guard-bullies-cbc-radio-host/

    Interesting! Did they tell you how long the security check is supposed to take?

    Since we had observed absolutely no activity from them recently, I was starting to worry about their health. Now, I'm happy that they are alive and they are issuing these GCMS notes that insist security checks have not started.

    Considering the backlog in Ottawa because of the strike, I think you might get your PR faster if Warsaw processes it.

    In the first 77 rows of the tracker, there are only 6 active blue lines, all 6 from Iran.

    Recently I met a friend who had applied in Nov 2011. He sent his medicals in January and received is pass requests 2 weeks ago. Hi situation was similar to us. Therefore I think you might hear from them in the next month. It's already 7 months that you have sent your medicals! I'm not sure...

    Yes they were. The CEC ones got their PR before the rules changed at the end of last year.

    It says so. But based on the discussions we had previously, I hope it doesn't actually mean that they haven't started security check. The interesting thing is my Iranian friends who had applied under PNP and CEC got passport requests in less than 9 months. It's strange that security check of...

    Wow! You are an expert now aidina. You identified the only change even without looking at my notes ;-) The due date has changed from 2013/07/28 to 2013/10/28. What's the point of having a due date when they don't follow it? ??? One of the interesting things that is removed is the sentence I...

    We got new GCMS notes today. Nothing has changed. The only difference is that so much information that we could see in the previous GCMS, are hidden in the new one! It seems they don't have consistency in hiding the information!
