My friend who applied from India has his visa office as Delhi. If applicant returns to India then he needs to change the office as well. Indian passport cannot be sent overseas for visa stamping if person is in India.

Visa office shouldn't change for CEC - all applications are processed in Ottawa

RCMP clearance can NOT be ordered online - you have to get fingerprints done at your local police force and send then to RCMP /

You don't have to apply from within Canada. You have to gain the proper experience in
Canada and then you're free to leave and apply from anywhere...

Yes but all applications are processed by Ottawa.
Re passport sending, I don't know as I'm visa exempt but I believe that people have sent it overseas or taken it to their local embassy.

Hello
I am new to this forum, but was curious hence joined.
my file was received on 29 Nov 2012, AOR was received in Jan 2013, but no information post that. Are there some others in the same queue?
People who applied after me have already received the medical request. So worried.

Also had a query how to get RCMP done, if requested? I have moved back to India.

Awaiting response!!
Dont worry, we are on the same boat. Mine was received on the 29th as well. I know its coming soon. maybe next month or November.

Thank you all for the response.
Looks like people who applied somewhere around 20-29 nov 2012 are awaiting responses yet. I thought since i moved back to India, mine is delayed , but does not look like as some of you are still in Canada.

I have moved back to India, i did drop an email to Ottawa processing center about the same. They mentioned they will change the address. There was nothing from them to change the office, so my processing center is still Ottawa.

Should i change it?
Also i cant go for GCMS , since i am not in canada.

Also, is there some agency whom i can send finger prints taken by local police in india and they will create digital finger prints from it to get RCMP clearance? since digital is faster than hard copy finger prints. need reference please.

Regards

Just some further details, I have applied first without detailed duties letter and few months later submitted the additional duties letter along with more supporting docs (pay stubs, etc). So, it does seems that visa officers take into consideration all correspondence given it is convincing enough...

Hi sashali78,

I also just got my GCMS notes today. I have exactly the same notes for eligibility assessment as you.

I was wondering what your status for individual assessment shows? For me, eligibility shows "In Progress" (which appears to be completed given my status is "recommend passed"), my criminality also shows "In Progress" (under detailed activity it shows RCMP screening returned "No Reportable Trace". However security shows "Not Started". I haven't gotten MR yet.


For other members, I wonder:

1) If anyone is getting "completed" in their status as opposed to just "In Progress"? My eligibility assessment is clearly done but still shows "In Progress".
2) Has anyone seen criminality related activity log other than RCMP screening? I was wondering if my criminality assessment is complete (it still shows "In Progress")
