Hi there,

I have been on the forum for awhile and it's a bit difficult for me to decide in which thread I fit in. So I thought I would create a thread for those applications that were routed to CPP Ottawa for sponsorship of a Pakistani spouse.

As you may know, if this is your case, where applications would usually be sent to CHC Islamabad when your spouse is in Pakistan, yours instead is sent to CPP Ottawa as it is a pilot centre taking on overload from Islamabad and some other cities.

I know that I get lots of information from CHC Islamabad and CPP Ottawa posts (both with awesome members so if you're reading this thank you :) ), but sometimes CPP - O seems to differ in its process from Islamabad (ie. at what stage they do remed request, or doc requests) and also that CPP-O's majority cases are from the US or other countries with shorter wait times, it confuses me and I get a bit lost and anxious, so I thought I would make a thread if anyone out there is in the same situation. Care to share your experiences? Pretty please? ;D

Oh okaayyyy! My hubby emailed Ottawa guys on 14th April abt the whereabouts of our file...then on 16th April he got a reply saying that our file is with them n in process. So that's how I knew my file is in Ottawa. And oh my hubby did email Islamabad office first on 12th march asking about our file but they didn't reply....finally they replied back on 18th April saying that they haven't received my application from CCPO and we may contact them directly at Ottawa office email !

So Im just wondering whether they have a soft copy of my application...or not ? :-X

Hello All

Just got off the phone with CIC helpline. So found out that the file is with Ottawa pilot project. Just wondering, if Islamabad would have sent the subsequent docs/proves of my spouses Pakistan visit to Ottawa. Call center agent suggested that I should send these documents again to Ottawa. Also she said that CIC has not received my medical which I had gotten done in Nov, 2011. Asked me to call back with doctors info(Roohina Sattar, Karachi) who apparently doesnt have the CIC licence any more and does not practice. Has expired anyways but I am just wondering if they were sent to Islamabad and the case is with Ottawa so might have gotten misplaced . Has anyone heard from the Ott Pil project yet. Has anyone sent subsequent documents to Ottawa and has received acknowledgement from them? Ive emailed both ottawa and islamabad this sunday and havent gotten any replies. Do u suggest I should send the info of my sponsors Pakistan visit in 2012 and 2013 to Ottawa now or wait for them to contact me ? Have to request the GCMS notes asap :(

Well I needed to update my new mailing address...so first I sent a letter abt it to Islamabad..tracked it through tcs..saw that it was recieved by Danish (well known guy of chc). Anyhow I didn't get any acknowledge letter or email that they have updated my address. Later when my Ecas finally started working I found out that my address is still the old one. I asked my hubby to email Ottawa abt our file..we got to know its with them...so I emailed them the same letter for updating address..and within 2days I got a reply from them that tey have updated in file..and within 15days will update on site. The very next day I checked my Ecas again (bad habit of mine) and the address was updated to new one! :)

So I would suggest you to send the same package to Ottawa as well and do write a letter abt it wid ur contact details mentioned. I hope it will work out for u :)

heyy thanks for the quick reply and it was really helpful. Can you tell me how you initially found out that your file was in Ottawa, and what made your husband email them? Its via this forum that i figured out about ott pil and decided to call CIC and ask, otherwise would have been in the dark forever. Also I emailed Ott Pilot on Sunday and am waiting for them to confirm via email that my case is with them before sending out the proofs.Approx how long do they take to reply ? I am sure that CIC agent is as reliable but just being a little paranoid.

The thing is our AOR mentioned my file has been transferred to Islamabad...so we thought our file is in Isloo...then I joined this forum lol since a year I heard abt this Ottawa project n ppl complaining that their file is in Ottawa instead of Isloo. My hubby n I still kept believing that it's in Isloo (big mistake). Finally I asked him to email Isloo...he emailed them on 12march n didn't get a reply till 18th April lol yeah they took so long just to reply back with 2lines saying tey haven't got our file yet from Ottawa ppl. And we should contact Ottawa ourself.

Anyways as if we were not getting a reply from Isloo hence I asked my hubby to email Ottawa as well ! He emailed them on April 13 asking abt our file and on April 16th got their reply that they have our file n it's in process. So they replied back in 3days whereas Isloo took a month! See the difference! lol inshaAllah you will be getting a reply from Ottawa in a day or two! :)
