unfortunately there is nothing you can do but to wait. you only contact the cem if there are changes in your application (new born, change of status, death etc..) anyway, for sure your are on queue, who knows your next in line

Hi! is there any deadline of this waiting? I mean the processing time is 12 - 14months. then if they pass to the given processing time, and then still no update with the application, what's next?

 

[EdGuien]

Hi, any updates po from CEM?
God bless

Effective Monday, in order to persuade the Government that binding arbitration remains the responsible way forward to resolve our dispute, PAFSO members will withdraw all services until further notice at Canada's fifteen largest visa processing centres abroad: Abu Dhabi, Ankara, Beijing, Cairo, Delhi/Chandigarh, Hong Kong, London, Manila, Mexico City, Moscow, Paris, Riyadh, Sao Paulo, and Shanghai.

Visa offices remain open


PAFSO responded that they couldn't accept that condition since fighting for "equal pay for equal work" is the precise reason they are on strike. Edwards said foreign service officers are trying to close the wage gap with other government workers who do the same jobs working as policy analysts, economists, lawyers or other positions but get paid more.

PAFSO said it would accept three of the conditions, but Treasury Board said it had to accept them all.

"We are disappointed that the union has refused our reasonable offer," a spokesman for Clement said Monday. "Our government is committed to bargaining in good faith, unlike the union, which has breached good faith bargaining principles by releasing confidential negotiating documents."

Citizenship and Immigration Canada said all visa offices remain open and are providing service. The department has hired temporary staff to process applications. It is training existing staff from the department on an urgent basis so they can work on visas and some staff are working overtime.

"CIC is also shifting more work to Canada and to overseas offices that have additional capacity," a spokeswoman for immigration minister Chris Alexander said.

The department is urging people who need a visa to apply as early as possible.


"It's a massive flow," he told CBC News. Tourists, international students, businesspeople and temporary foreign workers are all affected by the withdrawal of services.

"A lot of them will not be able to get their visa. If they do it will be severely delayed," said Edwards.

More delays

Hi everyone,

We got this email from the CEM last 13 May 2013, but until now we have not got any updates on our application.
Can anyone share any knowledge regarding this matter? Like, what is taking CEM too long and other related matters.

Thank you.

"Please be advised that your file is currently queued for review of the officer.

We will advise you in writing if additional documents or information is required. For the meantime, your patience is appreciated as we continue to process your application."
