Hello kanarf

I got my MR and PPR on 28-Jan-16 and my lawyer had suggested that I not submit the passports until the VO is ready to stamp them, as it can take 2 to 6 months after the Medicals for them to be ready for stamping.

I saw were someone in this forum sent off their passports as requested and got their passports back in like 2 weeks!! Because of that I disobeyed my lawyers and sent off my passports as requested ....its been 15 days and counting ... my ecas still says In Process too :(
Hi LD-eager and kanarf,

Yes we got our MR and PPR within a day of each other. I did the medicals right away and sent them off. But we actually didn't send the passports until almost a month and a half later as we had to wait on the police certificate for my husband. But when we did send them, we got them back in about 2 weeks. Also my ECAS said in process right up to when I sent the passports. It only changed a few days before the passports came back.

Hi Leamic,

Did you get an email when Ecas changed to "Decision Made"?

I really dont think a VO should request a passport and keep it for more than 2 weeks. From the moment a VO request a passport it should be that they are ready to stamp the visa. I feel like a fish out of water now. I have a travel arrangement for next month and no sign of passport.....16 works days and counting....not to mention if i count weekends and public holidays #fingerscrossed

No there was no email. I just kept checking the status and it changed a few days before the passport documents came back.

I have to agree with you. We got ours back in just under the 14 day mark.

Just in case anyone needed to know about expired CSQ. My CSQ was valid when our permanent residency visa was issued but will expire in June 2016 before we are set to arrive in Quebec. I called Quebec immigration and they said that as long as the CSQ was valid when the visa was issued you are ok. No need to worry about renewal once visa is in hand.

RANT- INITIATED:
What is for you will come when the time is right.
If its not for you, don't worry, don't push it.
BACKSIDE! It's one of those things my Mom always told me as I was growing up. If I was mistreated, I didn't make it past something, or that I didn't get when I wanted it.
In most cases as I did get what I wanted, achieve that goal, kick @ $$ and won' in a competition, what ever it was, I was more appreciative of it.

I didn't squander it, I was humble, and I took it with stride.
RANT - COMPLETED:

Shoulders Up, Back, and Down - chins up!
- This is something I always tell the kids I work with (a military youth group, I volunteer with).
- People are always watching, every move you made, stand tall look good, and be proud.

Good morning my friends,

I wish you all a good day, the weather is beautiful in Toronto (theCenter of the universe, all other cities in Canada MEH!), this weekend will be a scorcher, 17+ degrees, and lots of sun.



Cheers,

Ryan

Yes I believe there is a right time - when that is, I don't know. But I do believe that while waiting...the following will happen: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Daft Punk), you can add more to it....

and no we arent getting younger...backside!

*RUNS IN* OMG OMG OMG Cant think right right now, cant type, feel as if im gona faint *faints*

I hate having to stir up shet, but we we all been waiting for the last many weeks, and I want to see us making progress.
Check your mail, email, junk mail, ECAS everything...contact your representative, lawyers...PSPAN moving!!! they catch life, the MDC in dem! they catch life, they doing work for we.

If you eh get anything today, tomorrow, expect stuff soon.

I got a letter, it was addressed to my wife, I eh finish reading it, cuz im like in a state of a mess, with my mind going 100MPH!
I know we were all around the same time, give of take a month in the various stages - so you should be in the process near me.

But the letter talked about doing a medical, police certificate from TT, and needing 2 photos, and my wife's passport. [NOTHING ABOUT INTERVIEW]
