DECEMBER 2012 Applicants--This is your thread

[jo-macral]

Our ecas has been stagnant since last year - still on on Application Received. Both of us are starting to get depressed now.

The only word we got is "Pending final review" in an email reply from the VO, though we don't know what that means or what stage it is.

Our meds and police clearance has expired mid last month, but we have yet to be asked to renew it.

Similar boat here,jo-macral. Our meds were done on September 25/2012, and nothing asked for. I'm wondering if they have taken into consideration the months lost due to the strike, that delayed applications, and are just giving extensions automatically on meds and FBI check? It's not our fault they were on strike a few months, so why should we be out of pocket, and time because of them?
Hang in there!

Hello cdnmom, it's going through Ottawa Pilot.
Just got an update this morning on their site, " A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision."
So, in Nov 15/2013, we got "In Process", so now where are we at, and as far as waiting for them to contact my wife with the decision etc. Will they send her a letter by regular mail, if so, how long?

Is your wife from a visa exempt country?
Decision made without an interview is good news
She will receive the package via regular mail as it will contain her COPR which she will need to land
You are almost at the finish line

Hi guys, just writing to say that Singapore received my wife's passport on December 30th.

Now we are waiting impatiently for them to send back!! The medics were redone and sent on December 7th so I'm guessing Singapore also received those.

Courage guys, wishing the best for all.

For most of us, 2014 will definitely be better than 2013!!

Excellent news... finish line is getting closer

cdnmom,
She is from the USA, visa exempt.
I wrote to CPP Ottawa Pilot, with a few simple questions regarding the time frame etc.
Since things were slowed back because of the strike, and the meds were done Sept 25/2012, I asked if they just automatically decide and extend the landing time, based on their setback in processing.
I explained that with no idea when we would get notified of ANYTHING, she bought plane tickets for her and the teen daughter to visit me here on Spring Break, which she arrives March 28 in Vancouver.
I asked if possible, if there was a short time limit pending landing, if they could include this date in there.
Or if they automatically extend it, does it start from Sept 25, 2013, since I've read of 1 year extensions, giving a longer landing date in there.
I will post if/what they reply with.

No, never ordered notes yet. I really should though.

I think you should
At least you will know what is going on with the file
Don't even know why they have ECAS...LOL

WHOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!
I hope everyone else gets good news this week!

Wonderful news rice-racer. Lets hope the rest of us get ours soon!

 

[cdnmom]

Exactly 1 year since Sponsor approved
And still waiting

 

[jo-macral]

And waiting...

 

[rice-racer]

Update.....
So, wife and teen daughter approved to come here from USA, and COPR documents mailed January 13 from Ottawa.
She received them today in Nevada, basic size, brown envelope in regular mail. All is good, and in regards to landing deadline, it's what we calculated.
The meds expired after 1 year on Sept 22/13, and they automatically extended the time 1 year from that date to land.She has to land by Sept 22/14, but of course, will be here in March

 

[cdnmom]

Congrats!!!

Had you sent them your wife's passport already??

They asked us to send passport with envelope big enough to insert COPR, but we still never got a message like you saying it was officially approved...they received my wife's passport on December 30th, so I'm guessing they have to return back before Jan 30th.
