Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[Adroit]

Really?
Then how do you explain the fact that applications from the Islamabad office have a dedicated team in London to process them and the fact that they are getting processed before those who are applying to their own country?
I have nothing against any nationality, just the absurdity of sending applications half way round the world to a VO that is already struggling to deal with their own applications and who have to have a dedicated team to deal with them because of the language issues.
Surely New Delhi or indeed any another office which seems to be getting its applications dealt with more quickly would have been a better decision?

Well Queencouger, I don't have to explain anything, I am just letting you know that Pakistani applicants are also not comfortable with London Visa office. We were very much happy with Islamabad visa office in Pakistan. Sweetheart, why you are blaming only us for the delay in your application. For your kind information London is Responsible for immigrant applications from Channel Islands, Denmark, England, Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Wales (and Skilled Worker and Business Class applications from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Yemen),Pakistan: Economic Class (Skilled Worker, Entrepreneur, Investor and Provincial Nominee) applications only.

I understand your frustration, please don't lose your hope, inshallah soon we will get our PR.

Be positive.

Regards,

Adroit

I know, Adroit. I am not blaming this for my own delay; who know what has caused one application to be slower than another, but as you point out, London already has many others to deal with and more and more seem to be added. There is no blame on applicants from Pakistan at all as I said in my original post - we are all waiting. What has happened to Islamabad if all there was working well? I don't understand why applications were not diverted to oter VOs who have more capacity or fewer applications to make it fairer for all.
I am sorry to be frustrated, but I am now getting utterly dejected with all the waiting and seeing much later applicants leapfrog us. An applicant who applied to London in late March has just gone IN PROCESS, more than 6 months after we applied and there are others who are still longer without a shred of contact and no reason to be found for their delay, yet CIC repeatedly say around the world applicants are all processed at the same rate and in the same way.
My husband went to Canada and busted a gut to get a job because our jobs were not on the list and it seems we are being rewarded for this determination by being set aside while others pass us by.
My apologies if you thought I was blaming Islamabad or other applicants - it is the system that causes me to be so angry and upset.

Its ok Queencouger, I understand your frustration, we are in same boat. Again I advise you not lose your heart. You know that Pakistani applicants has to deal with 2 visa offices i.e. London for initial application and medical and PPR from Islamabad Visa office. Things for Pakistani applicants are not very encouraging.

Lets hope for the best and pray for our success. Inshallah, I will see you in Canada.

Adroit

How do we know they are closed? I might have missed the news link, if it was posted. Can you please re-post/PM me.
Thanks!

Hi Punter:
Hope the following helps... It seems the closing has nothing to do with PR applications. Nevertheless if they resolve one backlog, maybe they can concentrate elsewhere? ???
Cam

The Visa Section of the Canadian Consulate in Buffalo will be closed to all walk-in temporary resident service from Monday, June 6 through Friday, June 10 2011.

This closure is necessary to enable us to deal with an unprecedentedly large inventory of mail-in applications that have pushed our processing times for such applications to record lengths. Our goal is to use this time to eliminate this backlog completely.

We will still be accepting mail-in applications during that time. We will also continue to provide service to persons appearing to collect their Permanent Resident Visas on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and persons whose Permanent Resident interviews are scheduled for that week in Buffalo.

The Canadian visa offices in New York, Washington, Detroit, Seattle and Los Angeles will maintain their regular walk-in service during this time.

Temporary Resident service includes applications for Temporary Resident Visas, Work Permits, Study Permits, Permanent Resident Travel Documents, Authorization to Return to Canada, Applications for Criminal Rehabilitation and Temporary Resident Permits.

Thanks Indira for your response. Is this despite the fact that I am an Indian citizen? So basically a PCC is required from anywhere where one has lived 6 months + irrespective of the passport one holds... is this correct?

Yes

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.
