Seniors please advice!

My wife is pregnant and expecting in mar-2015. I have received PER in November-2014. Should I submit CSE to London Visa Office regarding my situation now, and if yes what should I ask?

Or

Should I wait for LVO to ask for additional documents including MR?
You have to update VO regarding any change/ addition in family/ adoption or death.

For addition in family you have to submit a Birth Certificate of baby, his/ her passport copy/ Processing fee of 150 CAD and updated forms. I am copying the email I got from VO when my baby was born. Hope it helps you.

''Regarding your expected child, you should forward the following documents to this office within 60 days of the birth:

-updated IMM8 and IMM5406 forms for you and your spouse including details of the new child

-documents for the child: copy of the birth certificate showing the names of both parents, photographs, processing fee of CAD 150 (a bank draft payable to The Receiver General for Canada is required), copy of the passport bio page (this can be sent once it is available)''

If you have any further queries please dont hesitate to post here or PM me.

Regards.

Thank you for clarification.
I will wait for next couple of weeks and if no change by January then I will go for GCMS.
Good luck for your rest of journey to Canada.

GCMS is only the source to know about the exact file transfer date to visa office
NVDO send AOR to all applicants ( but about london visa office we can get idea about file transfer from GCMS notes only . you can apply for GCMS notes )
NO ECAS never tell us about file transfer date. sometimes its timely update , but sometimes it remains in process and you issued with VISA :p
good luck

Friends, I have been to 15 countries altogether in my last 10 years, along with multiple entries in some of them. Some of them are countless trips, Damn! :eek: The maximum stay was of one month and not a single day more. My travel history spanned on two A4 size pages which was sent with initial application :-X.

Does such a travel history delay the whole process? :-\ What do they look in a travel history where the stay is less than 6 months? :'(
I also mentioned my travel history of 9 countries and got following response from visa officer:

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.

The following should be emailed to this office within the next 15 days:

-updated Schedule A forms for you and your spouse **questions 8 and 12 of the Schedule A form must be completed from age 18 to the current date and must not show any gaps in the dates. We are aware that the wording of these questions asks for details for the last 10 years, however, this office requires these questions to be completed from age 18. These forms may be downloaded from our website www.cic.gc.ca**

Important: please do NOT include your numerous periods of short term travel in either questions 8 or 12.

It shouldnt matter as long as you havent been to countires like Iraq(during the time of war), syria etc. we have been to 13 countries so far but we havent seen much delay on our file. It may depend which nationality you hold and travel but in the mean time its not fair treatment if they assess depending on your nationality. So dont worry, they dont normally concern visits for less than 6 months. In our case we lived in france for 5 months but they didnt asked anything.
Keep waiting, you will definately hear good news.

Wait , do not delay your case intentionally.
At the time of your MR , appear before IOM / Board , they will inform LVO , and then they will hold your case uptill specified time

Stay Blessed

Please help me....I am about to die

My e-case was update on last Wednesday and the third line added a(Medical reports received). Now I have just checked my e-case and I was really shocked
We received your application for permanent residence on February 19, 2014.

We started processing your application on July 1, 2014.

Medical results have been received.

A decision has been made on your application. The office will contact you concerning this decision.


Why did they made their decision very fast? Is that a bad sign... My heart stopped beating...PLEASE help me I am crying now as I am afraid.
Sir

Congratulations , your case approved , Visa printed in system.
They will request you for Passports Soon

Start Packing

Stay Blessed
