UPDATE: PP REQUEST

I am FSW applicant residing in Pakistan. LVO being my visa office. Yesterday I was asked to submit passports to Canada Visa Office, Islamabad but specifically directed me to use vfsglobal. So today I submitted my passports via Gerry's in Lahore. Has anyone else done so?
The guy there told me the visas should be stamped in 2 wks but was surprised to hear I was an FSW applicant as they usually get other types of applicants.

Actually my first medical was done in sept, delayed intentionally but completed in feburary because of addition of newborn to our family.

I reckon this is probably a new system to speed up the process.

Congratulations!

Story Starting Story Finishing:


It was actually Sep 2010 when I got an admission on Masters on a mid-ranking university of Canada (for fall 2011). On that time I was not aware that this is not the main hurdle I will have to face for entering Canada. Since, during application for student Visa, I got to know that success rate for student visa from Singapore Visa office is nearly less than 10%!!!

I made a lot of research for the careful student visa application. But I got refused mentioning that- I have not proved I have enough bonding with my home country (not sure abt the actual cause).

I was really depressed since I was expecting a lot about my career and did a lot of hard work with this visa application.

After that, my elder brother applied for Saskatchewan provincial nominee program (SINP-which is another PR program) on Jun 2011. After my application, this program turned into a slowest one ever.

During Jun 2012, CIC declared that they are not gonna open their regular FSW skilled category program on this year. They will introduce a new faster program on Jan 13 which was then shifted to May 13. Minister promised for several times that this program's application will be processed within a months.

I got myself optimistic and started preparing myself for this program (GT IELTS etc.). The program declared before 14 days (20 Apr 13) and many rules were very new like educational assessment/IELTS each band 6.0 etc. I tried to do every work within this time and dropped my file on the very opening day.

Initial steps like PER,AOR were clearing very smoothly. I was getting relaxed since minister's promise was playing on my mind....But after getting AOR from SG it was almost unbearable for me to wait for some news...

So things were not going in my favor...waiting waiting....No news....No update for any FSW13 SG applicants...

After waiting over 1.5 yrs I started prep to apply for my spouse's application from CPC-O on Aug 14.

Meanwhile I got nomination from Saskatchewan for further processing on July 14 (need to apply within Dec 14).

After this I got second line on ECAS (Oct 14) and I was getting anxious for MR....But alas, many SG FSW13 even FSW14 applicants were getting MR/PPR but no trace abt mine one....

Finally I had to know my MR news from GCMS report on Dec 14 (which was issued two months earlier) .....

[size=14pt]And now received Visa and CoPR on my hand.....


I know almost all other Visa office applicants are now on Canada from FSW13.

Even after this waiting of five yrs one thing I must say guys, patience can bring ur most desired achievements...That's what is my lesson.

I am sorry for the long writings, One message I want to deliver—that is- Don't lose hope....keep patience from ur heart....Have faith on God....U will get what u want....Since he is great!!!...He knows the best for u...

I sincerely show my heartiest gratitude to all of my brothers....sisters for their support....My painful waiting was converted to happy moments (seriously) passing with u....it feels me amazing, when somebody says that my silly suggestion helped him atleast a bit!!!

And receive my apology for whom I was not able to respond timely/correctly....Sorry guys....Dont mind for my behave, sometimes shortage of knowledge ....

I am a telecom guy....I know there are a lot of brothers/sisters from this domain....I may require employment support/suggestions from my brother/sisters (will not hesitate to ask to my family members, alright??!!! )....If I have opportunities then surely I will try my best in future too....

Will be in touch....

Keep praying for each other....

Congrats Asif bhai...

Sir, could you please mention the steps you got through after receiving MR till addition of your new born. I am experiencing the same case and need your guidance in this regard, please.

RKM

I received MR but my wife was expecting so we performed first medical in sep, everything except chesy x-ray of wife. After our newborn i emailed a scanned copy of my newborn to my case office BWJ and got his MR within a wk via email. Got his mdeicals done on 8th feb but the medical office said they cannot forward it until they recive a copy of passport. Passport was still in progress. SO handed them passport on 27 feb. They forwarded my newborn's medical (plus chesy x-ray of wife) on 5 mach and i got PPR on 9 march. Hope it helps
