Hello everyone,

I had my friend call for my case query from inside Canada and she was told that we needed to fill in a representative form for CIC to be able to provide a status directly to her.

Here is my question: If we fill in that form and she becomes our representative, ca we still be able to check on our status ourselves in the future, whithout having to go through her each time? or does this make her the exclusive and only person they will speak/reply to?

Of course, it does add stress and paranoia to earlier applicants who are wondering why they haven't had their medical requests yet!

I'm very pisses off that my status is still showing 'received by visa office' although my application was received by the CIO on 9th July, while some mid October applicants to the same VO have received their medical check request. This is just nonsense. I don't think it has anything to do with my eligibility to immigrate (my score is 77) or the complexity of my case (since they haven't even started looking at it!) but merely with the place of origin. Even if Canada has officially cancelled the preferential treatment to European immigrants, it is obviously still their in the mind of some immigration officers.

Dear Indira/Anil/Wayne,

I am giving you a proposal: Can you please add another TAB/page in the spreadsheet (dedicated for tracking) for ‘elaboration of abbreviations' for new comer!

Example:
TAB Abbreviation:


* CIO = Centralized Intake Office in Sydney Nova scotia - where you sent your application. Sometimes it is mentioned as CIU (Centralized Intake Unit).
* CHC = Canadian High Commission - refers to the Canadian embassies, Visa offices, and Consulates.
* AOR = Acknowledgement of receipt letter.
* RPRF = Right of Permanent
* FILE BF'D TO: File forward to
* SEC CRIM : Security criminal
* SELDEC: Selection Decision
* PSDEC: Paper Selection Decision
* BDEC: Background Decision
* OREQ: Other Requirement
* MEDDEC: Medical Decision
* FINDEC: Finantial Decision
* IMMCAT: Immigration Catergory
* SW1: Skill Worker 1
* NCR: No Criminal Record
* M01-MO7 : level of Medical assessment. M01 means perfect
* PS: Prescreen (another explain is Paper selection)
* PA: Storage area of your file
* AUTHORITY: ARW, LM seems to be officer's name
* PPS: point at paper screening stage
* PI: Principle immigrant
* XREF: cross referenced applicant
* FOSS: is a central database of applications
* NOC: National Occupation Classification

Hi asaif,

Very sorry to hear of the delay. James1' status was actually "Received by visa office" when he received his medical request, if it's any comfort, although it changed to "In Process" within a few days.

We are August applicants, and we are native UK residents having never lived in another country but England in our lives, and we don't have our medical requests yet. So I don't think it's necessarily accurate at this stage to say they are favouring European immigrants.

I guess until we have a lot more medical requests from London it will be difficult to establish a pattern.

Let's hope this week brings you better news!

Wayne.

Thanks,

As explained to asaif, we are August applicants and are native English residents - and currently don't yet have our medical requests - so there's no hard evidence yet that they are favouring European applicants.

Simply too early to establish what the crazy pattern is, but it is very strange that October applicants have received medical requests whilst July, August and September applicants have heard nothing!

Just gotta hang in there, I guess...

Wayne.

oh ok .....mine changed to RBVO only after a week of receiving 2nd AOR.... :P
 
Friends,

Today i received a postal mail from Singapore CHC. Looks like a 2nd AOR. It says that they will do the final determination of the application like all other Singapore applicants have received so far. Also, it has given me a new file number which cannot be tracked on E-CAS system now. However, i can still track with my CIO file number and it shows "RBVO".

It also says that, if the application is eligible for processing, then they will begin it on a priority basis.

No instruction on PCC or MR at all.

Thanks,

Aakash
