anybody waiting for remed for over 6 months? I think most of the people here are waiting for PPR right now
Hi waiting110,

There is no guarantee of PPR even after Re-medical........so useless stress. ???

I am waiting for PPR for last 10 months and Remedial was done in May-2013. :'( :'( :'(

Looks like Senior Canadian Officers are not working or holding cases
that is why existing applications have been moved to London. :eek:

What a waste of time and too much stress after paying fee of $1040.

Conservative Government playing with Immigration Canada to cut cost of immigration
save money for Canadian Budget.......all money game....................

This is too much:
Start from
Mississauga..........Ottawa.......Islamabad.........London/New Dehli...........Islamabad............
Total.........BS... for last 30 months :-\. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I simply hate Immigration Canada.

Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Islamabad (Pakistan), Threat Against the Islamabad Diplomatic Enclave
Travel Health and Safety; Threats
South Central Asia > Pakistan > Islamabad
3/14/2014
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, has received information concerning a potential security threat against the Diplomatic Enclave in Islamabad. This threat could lead to the implementation of additional security measures at Enclave entrances, causing unpredictable delays when entering the Enclave. All Consular Services, for both visas and U.S. citizens, at U.S. Embassy Islamabad remain available at this time.

The U.S. Embassy urges U.S. citizens to vary their times and routes when traveling in Pakistan, and to avoid travel patterns to such locations that would allow other persons to predict when and where they will be. Depending on ongoing security assessments, and as part of routine operational security measures, the U.S. Embassy occasionally places certain public areas, including areas both on and off the Diplomatic Enclave, off limits to official personnel.

We also remind all U.S. citizens to review the Worldwide Caution issued by the Department of State on September 25, 2013.

For more information on the risks of travel to Pakistan, please see the Department of State's most recent Travel Warning.

Updated Information on Travel and Security

Updated information on travel and security in Pakistan can be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays). For further information, please consult the Travel Warning for Pakistan and the Country Specific Information for Pakistan, as well as the Worldwide Caution. You can stay up-to-date by bookmarking our Bureau of Consular Affairs website, which also contains current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts. Follow us on Twitter and the Bureau of Consular Affairs page on Facebook.

U.S. citizens traveling to or living in Pakistan are encouraged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). If you enroll, we can keep you up-to-date with important safety and security announcements and can also help your family and friends get in touch with you in an emergency. U.S. citizens without Internet access may enroll directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

To view emergency services to U.S. citizens in the different consular districts, please click on the links below:

This process is like an unpredictable movie where you guess the next step but nothing close to your predictions happens. I pray my husband gets visa so he can attend my convocation in June. I was thinking he will be here on our wedding anniversary in April but now it does not seem like it's gona happen.
