Hi Rod,
My file transferred to LA on 1st Dec 2011.
It still shows pending review. I m guessing based on other's timelines that probably it will take 3 months to get MR.
thanks.

Sajay,

What is your ecas status? Did they "review and started processing"? If so, on what date?

Thanks,
Rod

Sanjay,

I agree on the timeline. It is usually 2 weeks later after you get the ecas line that people are receiving medicals

As far as I know, all canadian CHC in USA they dont use Fedex.
even it's mentioned on the LA consulate website too :
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/los_angeles/visas/apply-how_a_demande-comment.aspx?lang=eng&view=d
Courier Services:

•For return addresses in the USA or in Canada, you may supply a PRE-PAIDself-addressed courier envelope (i.e.UPSor DHL).
◦We will ONLY use courier labels that are clearly marked PRE-PAID.
For example, UPS Courier PRE-PAID labels show delivery charges as “P/PM” (PRE-PAID).
◦We will NOT use courier labels where the delivery charges are: charged to an account number; charged to a credit card; indicate ‘Collect On Delivery’ (COD), ‘Freight Collect’ (F/C); Bill Recipient; Bill Sender, Bill Third Party etc…
◦The Consulate will not use FedEx because they do not offer any PRE-PAID courier services.

Hi,

I sent my passport 20/01 and it arrived back to me in Toronto 10/02, so exactly three weeks.
Don't use FedEx when sending your passport. I sent via UPS and enclosed a prepaid UPS envelope and it went fine.

bro they did not mention in the email that don't use fedex otherwise I am not fool who spend 100 bucks for fedex.
I have seen in other thread people are getting through fedex also.
its all depends on your luck.
we missed this topic in discussion but at least good for others.

@sa-leth my location is toronto.
