That is indeed a good news. Everybody was looking for this and I hope now they do overtime to process the files waiting for them to work on.
 
just wondering I see on many people mention their PPR request separate from their medicals. For my parents they requested PPR and Medical at same time. what is the difference? Thank you
 

I applied for parents sponsorship in 2010 and CIC has now asked me to provide them with Option C document from 2009 and 2010.

The LICO for 4 people was $40,259 and $41,198 in 2009 and 2010, respectively. However, the current LICO for 2013 is $43,292 for 4 people. Given, that I applied in 2010, will CiC Mississauga use the LICO figures for 2009 and 2010 or the most recent one i.e. from 2013?

Yes I think they will look at 2009 and 2010 income but u still have to maintain the LICO for 4 people every year untill ur parents are here in Canada.

26 September 2013 - Canada’s Foreign Service Officers Reach Tentative Agreement with Federal Government
The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers is pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached with the Treasury Board of Canada to end our six-month labour dispute.

“PAFSO is satisfied with this deal,” said PAFSO President Tim Edwards.“This agreement was reached through compromises on both sides,” continued Edwards. “We salute the spirit of constructive engagement which our employer brought to our latest discussions. This deal is a victory for free and fair bargaining in the federal public service.”

With the signing of this tentative agreement PAFSO has ordered an immediate suspension of all strike measures and work to rule. The agreement requires ratification by the PAFSO membership and approval by the full Treasury Board. PAFSO’s Executive Committee and Treasury Board president Tony Clement have agreed to recommend acceptance of the offer.

“We are pleased that the Government has recognized the tremendous value and dedication which Foreign Service Officers provide to Canadians and their elected representatives,” said Edwards. “It has been a hard-fought battle and I would like to salute the unity, resolve, and stamina of our members in securing a fair and equitable deal. We’re excited to get back to doing the work we love, promoting and protecting Canada’s values and interests abroad.”

The 1,350 Foreign Service Officers have been without a contract since July 1, 2011 and in a legal strike position since April 2, 2013. This agreement concludes the longest federal public service strike since the introduction of collective bargaining in 1967.
