hey guys..

i am really getting impatient. Its been 2 weeks since i got my medical exam done.. nothing updated on eCas. Is there anything that I can do to check where its struck.. Could it mean that something is wrong with our medical results. My visa office is CPP O

when I had my medicals, my ECAS status did not update for at least over a month. i called CIC twice and got two different answers.

First call was 2 weeks after the medicals were submitted , and the answer was that they cannot give me any information regarding my application because PNP applications are treated as outside of canada applications which does not make sense. I got the impression that the lady I was talking to does not know what she is saying.

Second call, I made a week after, and was given information when the application was received. The lady gave me an email address where I could make an inquiry about my application. I then immediately sent an email to the address and about 1 month later got ECAS status update and a week later received an email reply about my inquiry.

I was also impatient like you and the lesson I learned from this is,

1) to stop checking ECAS status too much, once a week is fine but every hour of the day is too much, i know everyone is guilty of this. ;D ;D

2) limit the time we spend on these forums because we end up comparing timelines but what we forget is that we don't have the same situations. Manila visa office may be fast but for in Canada applicants, we are already here in Canada so why the rush, besides there will be no immediate significant difference in the change of our lives from a TRV holder to a PR. Unless our work visa is expiring, we don't really have to worry too much. Most of us will reach the finish line, but there is little probability that everyone will reach it at the same time.

3) lastly, to enjoy life as it is. For those out of Canada applicants, spend more quality time with your friends and families while you have enough time because soon you will not have as much opportunity. Research more about living here in Canada and it's a good idea to update your skills, job hunting will be the next hurdle for you guys once you set foot here in Canada. For in canada Applicants, enjoy your work and life here in Canada. We already have a good headstart compared to the other applicants, maybe start searching your first house, consider studying again, or just explore the rest of Canada. Canada is really a very big place, it has so much to offer and you'll never run out of things to do.

Patience really is a virtue... and I am also guilty of being impatient. ;D ;D ;D

Hello,

Just had a quick query... While applying for the bridging open work permit does it matter what option is selected between Work with same employer or Work with new employer if the application is for Open work permit. Irrespective of the option selected, the work permit issued would be Open ? Also is there an issue if we select Work with new employer ?

I received AOR in Aug 2013 and am done with Medicals as well.

Please let me know thanks!

Goodmorning Pals. Please I need you to explain how I would begin the whole application of the canadian visa. I humbly await your humble reponse, thanks!

hey guys..

i am really getting impatient. Its been 2 weeks since i got my medical exam done.. nothing updated on eCas. Is there anything that I can do to check where its struck.. Could it mean that something is wrong with our medical results. My visa office is CPP O

In my situation, I just called my doctor who administered the medical exams. When my doctor told me when they submitted it through e-med, after 2 days, my status changed to "In Process". My Medical results have been received through ecas.

I guess, you can check with the hospital where you had your medical exams. There might be a chance you need to retake x-ray or need to ask clearance from your cardiologist as what happened to me.

Most importantly,wait patiently. I know everything will be ok with you as well. Have faith!

Same thing happened to me, I could not see the status updated so I called my Doc's office. They said that the report was sent few days back. I wrote a mail Visa office asking if they can confirm the receipt of Medical reports and Boom... the update was there online next day. It may be a coincidence, but I have read about this few times on forums.

I think the status update at CIC is manual and they are also people, so it does not hurt to just check (in turn) remind them in very polite words.

All the best...
