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

[GoHerd]

Hey avi,
I just received FBI certificate today. Search completed was in Sep 3 2011 (FBI working on Saturday!?), 5 days after my CC charged in Aug 29. Released date of certificate was Sep 16. They were waiting for exactly full 8 week completed before sending it out in Sep 19. So I think you should wait 8 weeks before FBI certificate can reach you.

Hi guys quick question to anyone who has LANDED:

Is anyone able to access ECAS? We cannot access it at all since landing. Expected it to be accessable and say "COMPLETED" once they updated it.

Wayne.

Hi Wayne,

I have a same question. In the past, people who have landed were able to see the date of landing on ECAS. I landed on sept 16 and tried checking but ECAS stated that no record is available. I thought may be its not in the system yet. I would suggest you trying checking using COPR number rather than file number. Will let you know if i get to know something.

Hey johnyusa,

Congradulations!. Welcome to Canada!.

I think for pr card you can call CIC call center and they would be able to tell something. Give it a try.

Thanks,

Pradeep

Thanks Pradeep. I wanted to know when PR card could be expected so that i can book the tickets to india and bring my stuff. Anyway, whats the status of your case? Are you in Canada or US?

Hi Folks,
I am new to this forum. So I had a couple of questions for the experts here.

I sent my application to CIC and they received the application on Sept 21, 2010.
I finally got an email from CIC on January 24, 2011 saying that they were sending my application to Buffalo. Is this the AOR that everyone keeps referring to?

Since then I have not received any emails or correspondence from anyone. I have sent 2 inquiries to the Buffalo Visa office, but no reply.

Is this normal? Is there anyone here with similar timelines and only one response back for a similar timeline?

Oh and I check the Online tracking system a lot and it keeps saying "Received By Visa Office". I remember 4 -5 months ago, it had said "In Process", but that went away.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Hey,

Yes Buffalo is extremely slow. See my timelines on left. There is also a spreadsheet below my signature. Your timeline is in line with other applicants.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for your quick reply. What does "Doc's Request" mean on your signature?

It depends on the person. Sometimes the request updated forms, fingerprints etc...

In exactly one month it will be a year since my application was received by CIO. I have not heard anything from Buffalo since my file was forwarded to them last February. My address disappeared from ECAS last month but it still says received by visa office. I requested CAIPS notes but they said they need more time to get information on my file; it's been two months now. Finally, I emailed Buffalo last week and they responded saying that my application is in process and they cannot tell me when a decision will be made. I am praying for a medical request as it will be a ray of hope that we're getting closer. Looking at the timelines of other post June 26 Buffalo applicants the medical request should have been here by now. I am not sure what to do other than wait however seeing how my friends who applied under CEC are getting their PR in record time, I am considering applying under CEC next month if I don't hear from Buffalo. One year with no word is too much.

Mahek:
I applied over a month before you did, had my one year anniversary last week, and am still in RBVO... and there are people who have applied before me who are still in RBVO... unfortunately patience is the only remedy right now.

We are all wondering what the VOs are up to and why they take so long processing our applications. Below are some interesting numbers I found online. Not sure if everything is accurate or up to date, but here it goes.

-As of December 2010, 335,000 people were in the pre-February 28, 2008 FSW backlog. What is called "pre-C50 applications"

-As of December 2010, there were approximately 165,000 people in the MI1 (cases received between Feb 28, 2008 and June 25, 2010) inventory.

-It is estimated that currently there are approximately 8,000 people in the MI2 (cases received on or after June 26, 2010) inventory.

-About 6000 new FSW applications are expected in 2011.

-Put all of this together and there are 514,000 FSW applicants waiting desperately to get their PR visa to Canada.

-48,821 FSW applicants received their PR visa in 2010 by Canada Immigration, 5 year average is 43,665.

-If they stopped accepting applications today, it would take 10.5 years to clear all the backlog. 514,000 / 48,821 = 10.5 years

And this is only FSW applications, every VO has to deal with a number of other applications, such as entrepreneurs, investors, refugees, etc. Having said that, I believe it is a miracle for those lucky few on this forum who have already received their visas... and for the rest of us, when you put things in perspective, a lot more patience is needed... but it will happen, our day will come 8)
