Not for me. Hopefully everyone that has been waiting for a long time will get some news soon!
Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.
- Thread starter cansha
- Start date
On some facebook groups, there have been a couple of relatively recent updates from people who got copr. Are all of you folks dealing with a "review required" file?
My ADR is on July 2.
I uploaded on July 3.
ADR status changed to "not applicable " on July 4.
I don't know why my case moved from Ottawa to Montreal on July 20 and what I can do (no other ADR).
What was the ADR?
Did you answer yes to any stat questions (like visa refusals in the past)? That is often a reason for it to move to Montreal, it seems.
In case you call ircc, let us know if you are still at Montreal. It seems that they are doing quite a bit of workload redistribution these days and many people's files move again from Montreal to other offices. I would imagine or hope that this would speed up processing since Montreal seems to have a huge backlog which smaller offices might not.
I did not inquire anything about my application before the 5-month mark passed, so to me I've always been on Montreal (probably changed at some point). I did answer yes to a statutory question. I had a previous Canada visa refusal due to an IRCC mistake, I've had Canada TRV afterwards. That's probably the reason why my file is in Montreal.
I see. Yes, that's probably the reason. Honestly, I hate this thing. Just because someone has a prior visa refusal, I don't understand the need to place an RR for it and then route the file to Montreal where there is probably a long queue of people with RR for various other reasons. I mean, how long can it possibly take to look into the reason for a visa refusal when they are already running criminality and security checks? What difference does it even make as long as those checks are clear? So deeply frustrating.
Are they nearing expiry or already expired? Well, at least it's an update. How long have you been waiting and are you in security screening (SS)?
