Thanks for the link. Quite informative. Nice to see that Canada is well placed re immigration policies and activities. i am a bt surprised at the low score on Political participation though.

At what level are non Canadians legal residents allow to participates vis-a-vis voting rights, right to contest in elections etc?
You can vote and be voted for only when you become a Canadian citizen.

You can register and participate in politics but that's about it. Participation in politics is a very good way of integrating people and Canada fails woefully in this regard.

Well, the minimum is 2 years, but it can take 4 years too :-[. For now we are just thinking of having the Maple Leaves soon 8). And then decide, what to do. We are prepared to stay away from the family(either of us) for sometime in Canada, so the settlement get's a bit easy ???. But things might change. We are exploring other career options like Project managers, Construction managers etc., where they do not stress on the registration :P. Let's see..

Thanks,

Indira Prabhakaran.

ok :) good luck to u n prab :)

The medicals line is on everyone's status and is an error. They will probably fix it soon (they fixed it once before, now it's back!). I think letter on 6 Dec is just your PER - ours says the same (for 15 December) and we only received an email.

It all looks normal!

I added you to the tracker, please could you view that and provide as much details as you can about your application? Also, i would need the same details(Name being the first thing) to enter your sis-in-law's details into the tracker.

Thanks,

Just tried to check our ECAS status (which we have been successfully able to check since they were all added in January) and all of a sudden got "We cannot identify you". Tried several times to make sure that I had not miskeyed any information, still no go.

Anyway, then I tried changing "United Kingdom and Colonies" as Place of Birth (which we've been using all along) to "England" and now we can log in again!

Seems someone updated our "Place of birth" on ECAS from "United Kingdom and Colonies" to "England" overnight. Details are exactly the same once logged in though:

"Received_by Visa Office" ->

We received your application for permanent residence on August 30, 2010.

Medical results have been received.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on December 15, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.


Weird.
Wayne.
 
medicals being reviewed before file reaching VO :o :o and that too in an updated manual :o

no wonder this bug keeps coming into ecas >:(
