Awesome news Zoey; a big Congrats to you and the hubs.

I dont think they are accepting drop off at the embassy anymore unless the security is lenient; my husband'd letter also specifically said do not drop off requested documents at the embassy; and another reason why they are not encouraging the drop off is because they require a return envelope to send back your PP and other original docs or pictures.

A big dash of light purple coming your way from Sammy later this evening ;D
Ok so i guess we'll just mail it as requested. How long after your hubby sent is passport was the visa issued?

Hey JamFam,

Happy Friday and don't stop chanting PPR,PPR,PPR :-*

I remember when THOR started chanting and I followed with Faith and my PPR came that same day.

Prayer and faith go hand in hand, dont give up on either. What you consider a denial may just be God's delay for a good reason!

My prayers go up for everyone, especially impatient girl and caffelatte who are finding it particular difficult to hang on right now. But I just want everyone to remember that it is during these times when the Lord wants us to trust him most to show you what he can do.

I also logged on to particularly share with you that I ordered my notes out of curiousity to see what the VO said on my file since I ordered twice before during the process and nothing was there and it revealed what Ninirae's immigration friend had advised which leads to a few personal conclusions

- A file can be processed within 3 mths or less- from my notes I saw where my file was assesed by the first officer with no concerns 3/21/2014 and approved by the VO 4/9/2014. Thats less than a month; afterwhich it shows that they sent out request for the PC and re-medical.

-After receiving additional docs, they say criminality passed after PC shows clean record and no evidence PA resided outside of JA; visa was issued thereafter on 5/30/2014 and PP mailed out a week later. So, possibly security and criminality may take up the processing time if the PA had ever lived outside of their country.

-Notes only reveal what the immigration office wants you to see; as it appears alot of this information was on my file when I previously ordered but was deleted; as these notes clearly now show the dates and it should have showed; so the officers are updating your file but they may not necessarily share certain info with you if they dont want to.

-Finally if you have never travelled before and they have no reason to doubt security eligibility or criminalty record, I believe extended processing times is also due to officers waiting to see if relationships are genuine; or they maybe unable to manage workloads and lag behind more efficient colleagues.

Just my two cents to help us figure out how VOs work.

Enjoy the weekend! ;)
Hi kadi thanks a lot for the love!

Am getting my positive vibes full blast lol am happy to see all the 2013 getting there's now they all deserve it

Hey everyone! Congrats to those who received PPR!!!! I'm glad Kingston is showing some movement! It's been awhile since I've posted to the forum but I'm soooo happy to see all that purple, it's so encouraging!

I have a question! Does anyone have any experience with paying the RPRF before it's requested from Kingston?? My hubby is under the impression that if we pay the fee before it's requested it will somehow speed things up a bit. Any opinions on this?

Unfortunately we never had the chance to meet up. We had an appointment but Nini and me could have not make it. So Sh and Sh went herself and she wait for 2 hours. We were feeling so bad. We advised her on Facebook but she never get Wi Fi before to get the message. So maybe next time!!

We paid before. In the instructions its mentionned that if we not pay all the fees before it causes some additional delays. I think its better to provide everything they request in the doc list at the beginning.

Or at least pay it before it's requested, even if you don't pay it at the beginning

Pay before if you can. It will delay your application by 60-90 days after they request it. So if you can pay it now

Ok! I'll definitely pay it before it's requested, I just thought it was pointless if I didn't send it at the beginning.
Should I fax or email them a copy of the receipt?

You can email it to Mississauga. There will be an email address to send the receipt too once your done paying for it.

Ok thanks :) .. Whenever I call CIC they make it seem like Mississauga has nothing to do with my file anymore since it's in Kingston so maybe I should contact both? Ughh both offices are useless! :'(
