LONDON Visa Office Applicants....Lets connect here

[moe_218]

I called CIC and agent told me that she can't see any details of my application since it's being processed outside Canada (London). They only have access to those application which are being processed by VOs inside Canada. Strange.....!

How did you manage to call them ?

Has anyone tried calling IRCC for updates? if yes, then where did they call, LVO or Canada?

If you call canada they cant tell you anything since its being processed outside canada

 

[AmalDreams]

How can we contact LVO?

How can we contact LVO?

I guess, only via Webform.... (sadly)

my medical still valid until feb 2021. I dont know if they are going to extend my medical. I hope so! How many month they extend your medical? My files were transferred to LVO dec 2019.

I don't know how long they extended, but in my online account status changed as "you passed medical on 30 Oct 2020". Earlier status was your passed medical on 22 Feb 2020".
I guess they extend either for 6 months or a year.

Hi everyone, I have called IRCC today to inquire about eligibility and other stages of my application as well as VO and received the following information:

Agent was unable to update me on any of the stages since the file was transferred to London, England VO. (I felt bad for calling so soon but I must say the agent was extremely friendly and courteous).

FSW-O with October 2020 AOR - Country of Residency: UAE

Any idea if this is a positive sign or just regular old workload balancing?

They transferred your file for eligibility. Mine transferred to LVO as well dec 2019. Country of Residence: UAE.

Oh, that's interesting. Have they been active since COVID or not so much? Hoping your application progressed/was approved since then.
It seems most applicants from GCC are processed in LVO as well.

Yes, Most of the applications are transferred to LVO, I am from UAE and my file was transferred to London in May-2020. Still waiting for PPR
Hopefully new year will bring good news.

Dear @legalfalcon @caipsnotes ,
My application is handled by my agent and they already had requested a GCMS notes through ATIP in Sep 2020. As of now, they seem reluctant to send one more for an update. Can you please advice if I can raise a webform on my own or I need to go through my agent only. Also, my brother is based in Canada, can he place the request on my behalf or no?

Please advice

It is your application, and you can surely request webform as well as GCMS notes for your application.

However, since you have a representative, you should consult them before you decide to make any substantial changes to your application.
