According to the web pageKayaker said:Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is a case specific inquiry? Is that the one that is only if your application has exceeded 15 months?
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/manila.asp,
+ click on the "case specific enquiry" link, these instructions will come up:
"You may use this form if:
. You have submitted an application at a visa office abroad
. The information you seek is not available on E-cas
. Your application has exceeded normal processing times. We will not respond to your enquiry if the application is within normal processing times
. You wish to report important changes regarding your application, such as births, deaths, marriages, divorces, adoptions, changes in address, changes in employment, acquisition of a new
educational credential, results of an approved language test."
Now the above is not written according to legal language standards; i.e. the four items on a list like the above would normally be separated by the words "or" or "and". So in this case it is not clear if "all conditions should apply" or "as long as one of the conditions apply" can you send an inquiry.
I do not believe that all of the conditions should apply, therefore I do not believe you can only use this form if the "normal processing times" are up. That simply would not make sense - why would you have to wait until the "normal processing times" are up - to report (for example) a change in address... Furthermore, according to my experience, everything that I sent in this way found it's way into my GCMS notes, even I was not past the processing time. Granted, they did not reply - you will only receive an automatic confirmation. Plus, they may not act upon your message right away, but once your file does come up for review, they will see everything you sent in this way.
So... use this resource sparingly and wisely! Be brief and concise, to the point. OH and I know it's hard, but try not to curse!
