Hi,

I have a question. In "generic application form" , question 4, what is the immigration office? cpp-ottawa or cpc-ottawa? there is nothing about cpp-ottawa in CIC website anymore.

Dear folks,

I am becoming a bit concerned, I applied under the PhD stream category on June 7th, 2014. It has almost been 3 months since they got my application package but I haven't got any email from them since then. Is it normal?

Please get me back ASAP!

Many thanks,

PP

It was Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa at the beginning. After a few years (if I'm not wrong - starting Jan 1, 2014) CIC decided to make the office permanent, and now it's called Case Processing Centre - Ottawa

Check the FSW2014 thread and their spreadsheet. CIO-S is now charging May 21 applicants. It might take another 2-3 weeks before they take a look at your application.

Hi all,

I understand that at some point in the process there will be a passport request and a new visa will be added.

If that is the case, do you guys know if there is a requirement for the number of unused pages left in the passport? I only have two left and I am wondering if I should get a new passport. Ideally, would want to avoid this since it would delay my application + in Canada is twice as expensive and takes much longer than just getting one while at home.

Thanks

I have applied in November 2013. More than 3 years of experience, 2 years RA.

Dear friends,
Thanks for this informative forum.
I have a question which worries me, I received a letter to prove that I intend to leave Quebec and I replied them through email and also mailed my documents. But I am worried that I have not sent my documents to the right address. Could you tell me if the following mailing and email addresses are the correct ones.

Case Processing Centre - Ottawa
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
219 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa ON K1A 1L1
7th Floor , Section B


E-mail : CPC-CTD-Ottawa @ cic.gc.ca

Here is a quote from the passport request email they sent to me:

"We require a VALID passport for you and for each accompanying family member. Passports for you and all accompanying family members must be submitted together. There must be at least one blank visa page in each passport. If there are children included in your passport there must be blank visa pages for them as well.

Please note that permanent resident visas cannot be issued to holders of Diplomatic, Official or Military passports. You must obtain an ordinary passport."

For me, they actually squeezed my immigrant visa right between other 2 visas in my passport (visa - blank page - visa -> visa - Imm_Visa - visa) even though there were about 12 blank pages after the last used page.

Thank you /u/sia_kb8 and /u/vasyok for your quick replies!

If the requirement is just one blank page then I guess I'm OK then. A follow up would be, is it possible to change the passport number later into the process (compared to what was filled in the initial application)? say if you lost it (or if there are no more pages left). Maybe if the information is updated before the PPR?

Congratulation Karaniha.
would you please tell me when your ecas changed to "decision made"? mine is still in process. while we both received medical in a same day.

Congrats buddy, but it looks like they don't update it right away, they updated mine 2 days after the email.
