Seniors following is true in the current scenario? I hope all will not take more than 4 months altogether ::) :-\
Sep - oct is the month for waiting ones? :-\


Estimated time for BGCs before MR:

BGC estimated time = 4 months
MR + RPRF = 1 month
PPR1 + PP Stamp = 1 month

---------------------------------
6 months (Minimum time from now)
---------------------------------


Estimated time for BGCs after MR:

BGC estimated time = 4 months
RPRF & PPR1 = 1 month
PP Stamp = 1 month
---------------------------------
6 months (Minimum time from now)

True.... but i think VOs, assistants need to do a crash course on "Fast Processing" :p

Bye the way, we were promised to complete the processing in one year, and after one year they just opened my file and many are still waiting even after a year ???

Not only this they announced new program for 25000 immigrants, one of my friend in Canada informed me that "Conservative Party" announced it cuz next year they have elections, so it is basically a political gimmick 8) .
Well lets hope for the best for us ! Wake up LVO, wake up, move fast :-\

There seems to be a bit of thought here going into what visa officers are handling who, and what tasks.
I thought I would add my thoughts:

1. Who are the Senior Visa Officers? Well they are disclosed publicly here: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/308817/LDL__May_2014-.pdf - just search the document for Canada and look for "1st Secretary (Immigration)"

2. Who handles a file? In my case it has been assigned to a senior VO ever since the interview, but other tasks - the selection for interview, the email for it, the request for meds and processing of RPRF have all been by different officers. It makes sense that different people would be working on different tasks. If you look in your GCMS notes, the "Application Assignment" will tell you who currently has responsibility for your file.

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and would like to share my old case...as if anyone else has the same situation and what is the recent status.

We received your application for permanent residence on June 17, 2010.

We reviewed your application and sent you a letter on October 16, 2010. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.

Your application and supporting documents were received by the London England office. They are pending review.

Your application was reviewed and we started processing on May 4, 2012.

After this in April 2014 they requested me to send all the forms again with updated information. As then my husband was working in saudi arabia they send me the second email at the end of April 2014 to send his PCC, which was sent and received on 9th May 2014. Since then I have not received any email. What shall I do? Shall I send them email to inquire about my application or just wait. My VO/Representative is MCH.

Waiting for the suggestions.
Thanks
