    AUGUST 2014 OUTLAND Applicants

    Landed in Toronto on Friday. Was met by the friendliest immigration officer. I was able to get my Social Insurance Number right at the airport before even collecting my bags (however this is only available in Toronto)! I was given a red cloth bag and for every person I met, they added more...

    JULY 2014 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS!

    Our medicals were not on ecas for almost two months even though they were sent with the initial application. We emailed the VO once the file had been transferred and they didn't have record so they asked for the confirmation that was given by the doctor. Once we sent that, the "medicals have...

    September 2014 OUTLAND Applications

    Hello, They gave a number of options for how to submit the passport. Some were specific to Algeria and Tunisia and some were for other countries done through the Paris VO. He could mail it and wait for them to mail it back. He could go to the VO in Paris and pick it up 5 business days later...

    Our ecas said application received forever! It was received September 17th and did not change to "in process" until December 20th. Our medicals were not listed so we emailed and we had to send them the information from the medical visit for them to add that after application received. I don't...

    OCTOBER 2014 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS!

    They do answer phones yes, but like everything else in the government, they do double duty. Those for whom the file has gone to an overseas VO, then they do not work on your file. But for those in Ottawa, they may. Also, I was told that sometimes the VO will "push" some information to Ottawa...

    OCTOBER 2014 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS!

    I totally understand everyone's frustration. The waiting and not knowing is the hardest part. I did speak with a Director for CIC who deals with the website. He said that all of our frustrations are known and they are working on changing things but it is a slow process. Part of the problem...

    OCTOBER 2014 OUTLAND APPLICATIONS!

    I just thought I would chime in. I have a friend who works at CIC and they said that the call centre staff can only see what we can see on eCas. They don't have any more information then that. For those who have called in and received information, it was because your information was...

    I bet you spoke to the same operator twice. They won't be giving SPONSORSHIP APPROVAL (SA) to someone who doesn't meet the minimum requirement, they won't even send your file to the VO of your country if you don't first meet the sponsorship requirements. So it's just INCONSISTENCY
