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

[canady]

Finaly I have got my passport back Stamped with an immigrant visa valid till date of expirey of the medicals
They have also included a CPR i.e Confirmation of Permanent Residence which is a document showing my details and holding one photo of me

They have clearly mentioned to have the visa and the CPR document with me when I land. They advised to accompany birth certificate ,school and university transcipts with me as supporting documents. Also they have given some links to read to help with working,housing and landing. Obviously, they have returned some documents that I intially sent to CIO like the university transcipt and the birth certificate translated and reference letters of employers. However they have kept the contracts and the IELTS certificate.

Wishing all of you the best with your Visas ;D ;D ;D

WOOOOOOOOOOW MOOOOOORI!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You are the first lucky one from Cairo VO

I can feel the happiness in your post and I'm sooooooooooo happy for you.
I can imagine you in Canada right now managing your own pharmacy ISA and this is not far, but you will have to make a special discount for the forum members


On the other hand, i live in a HELL! :'(Why on earth this is happening to me? ???It's a month over since i have sent the requested documents with no communication at all and they never replied any inquiry!!
I just want to know what the hell is going on??????????????? everyday passes without receiving my medicals drives me crazy. Should i prepare myself for rejection??? :'( :'( :'(
Comparing myself to the Cairo VO time line, i think reaching this stage means bad news. :'( :'( :'(

From our spreadsheet, our visa office have only 39 files and lets add 20 and it will be around 60 files for post June 26 applications.

I would imagine if they take 2 hours to a file they can get it all done by 120 hours.( 120/ 8 hours a day will take only 15 days to complete the review of these received by visa office applications)... I dont understand how they process it ?.....

Thanks,

Pradeep

Why add only 20? Our spreadsheet represents around 3% of the total applications received by CIO. Therefore, as an approximate figure, you need to multiply the number by about 33 to get the approximate actual figure at the visa offices.

So if there are 39 Buffalo applicants we can imagine the total post-June-26 applications at Buffalo to be 33 x 39 = 1287, so let's say approximately 1300 at Buffalo.

Many applicants on this thread have faced delays and still got PER / MR and even visa anyway.

Just because there is a delay it is no indication of rejection. CHC use some third party companies for document checks, and combined with "just missing" brought forward dates this can amount to seemingly inexplicable delays but it does not necessarily mean that anything is wrong with your application!

Please remain positive - there is no need to despair unless you get a rejection letter, or ECAS changes to "Decision Made" before medicals.

Best of luck,
Wayne.

I totally agree with you! Plus don't forget huge backlog from several years and all the other categories of visas...I don't think they are sitting idle smoking&playing poker but I think that the system has faults and we are feeling them on our backs...

I still like to think positive and remind myself that there are people who have been waiting for years now so our processing time is not that bad. Also, speaking about broken systems- it is almost impossible for me to solve my status in US and even if I would start that adventure it would take me probably 10 years and cost me tens of thousands of dollars (mostly for lawyers...).

I know it is devastating when we are waiting for "the water to boil" but on the larger scale we are in better position then others.

Just my 2 cents

When medicals arrive from CHC London, ours came by post and I can't see how they can easily arrive by email, you will get:
- A medicals covering letter telling you about the medicals
- A medicals form Schedule A for each person going to Canada with their photo attached
- A checklist of documents they are asking for. This will be at least for medicals to be completed, but they can ask for other information such as RPRF if not already paid, updated forms, updated PCCs etc.

Because the Schedule A has the photo attached (glued on by hand by the look of it) I can't see how they can really send medical requests by email?

Ours arrived in ordinary (non-registered) post using one of the two self-addressed labels we'd provided with our application.

Dear Hazem ,

First of all, thank you for your generous feelings towards me specificaly I carry them deep inside and those moments are never forgotten
Second, coming to your case and the processing procedure, you will have to give some patience to be able to breath in and be prepared for every single fight coming. You need to be ready to grasp your dreams and find a way to it if you believe in it. This should be your slogan Hazem
Thirdly, I believe that your application still lays within the time to be processed in a positive way. It does not mean that few of us have gone through medicals fast that this could be a standard or even close to it. We are still looking into few number of applications compared to the vast majority. My prayers are going on to support you so much Hazem cheer up man

I really appreciate your support, Wayne. But I'm comparing myself to both of the spread sheets on this forum and another Egyptian forum. People now from Cairo VO are receiving medicals or at least their status changes to "in process" in a very short time after they receive their PER. As far as i remember, one of them received the medicals in less than 2 months after the PER. In my case, five months have passed since i received the PER.

Their contact was on the 30th of March to send explanation for 2 concerns and i have already sent them every single paper, and documents to clear and to prove ever thing and I'm sure that what i have sent are more than enough. I even sent them recent PCC ana Proof of funds. Adding to this that my papers are very well presented and organized.

I know that many people have considerable delays, but they are all in the same boat and same time line regarding their VO. Even people from London VO, they are in the same boat.
For me, i'm the only one from Cairo VO who is facing this dilemma!

Congratulations on hearing from London VO. You and I seem to have gone 'In Process' on the same day and we also got our PERs at the same time. If you don't mind could you let me know the date the letter was sent to you. Thanks.

Welcome back, Olga. You should ask Dr Hasib to give you some Mickey Mouse ears for your Post! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and came back full of energy and happiness.

Thanks Pippin,
Think I've seen enough Mickey Mouse ears for a lifetime.

Yes, regenerated, now to tackle the idea of selling our house, removal companies, licence in Canada ......... At least I feel I can start to address these now.

Olga

Sure thing! I'll let you know as soon as I receive it. I'm paranoid about the same thing, I have very little faith in the local postal system so.....
Anyway, I'm surprised you received the email today. I thought the 'Your application was reviewed and we started processing on May 3, 2011' bit meant that they had already gone through everything, were satisfied and would send the medicals in a couple of days. I had initially calculated that they would have sent the medicals on the 7th and it would get here by the 23rd. But if they sent you the email today, it could be they sent my medicals out today as well, which means they could take another 3 weeks to get here. ???

Sigh! I know I'm over thinking this....just can't help it right now! ???
