have u received Acknowledgment of Receipt (AOR)?? islamabad gives a file no for each application.

u follow the same steps and when u come to Identification Type: u need to click "immigration file number" and add the file number given by CHC Islamabad...These numbers usually start will Bxxxxxxxx
and then add in ur Date of Birth and place of Birth and click "continue" to get permanent residence status (meaning your status)
ok i'll do this and will come back to you again :)
Jazak Allah :)

Hey kman,

I received a letter. It explicitly stated that it was being transferred to Islamabad. However, per the GCMS notes, I discovered that in April 2012, the paper file had been transferred to Ottawa. I had the MP's office follow up with Ottawa and within a week after my request, they confirmed that the application was indeed in Ottawa and further correspondence should be done with them.

Don't know to what extent this is true, but he said Ottawa's timeline is ~18 months and I should expect to hear something 15 months from the date of transfer to Islamabad. Again, his words. I'm not counting on anything!

Hope this helps.

Hi M I 2012,

A question to determine if there is a pattern in files being transferred to OTT as opposed to ISB. Did you receive an email or letter stating your file transfer (Stage 2). If you got an email, can you please let us know where the email originated from, i.e. ott-pilot or cpc-m, and did it state your file is transferred to ISB or did it explicitly mention that your file is transferred to OTT.

Thanks for the info.

I noticed weird little changes in late february and am curious if this is similar to what is happening for a lot of other people who got their status changed.

The Sponsorship Application Status: It went from Decision Made to "In Process". And it has an additional line stating that "we started processing your application on 2X April 2012. This is coincidentally the same date on which my paper file was sent to Ottawa. (per GCMS notes)

Permanent Residence Application Status: No change

Name of my spouse is now written in All Caps.

I applied end of Nov - Recieved correspondence in late Jan. That's about all so far.

Thanks for the info. I'll be ordering GCMS notes in a few weeks. That should probably clarify the file location.

Qback, your previous message was so positive! Your next message was in panic mode! =)

I meant 15 months from the transfer to Islamabad from Mississauga (Completion of stage 1).

So for example, given that my file was transferred in January 2012, I should expect to hear something by April. (According to the MP's assistant who called the Ottawa office with my info).
