my BFD is last February 2011 thats it........by the way as per the visa issuance ... the VO is doing it as per applicant case or as per the month they applied randomly (priority as per the MI), because as i go along this thread i find some applicants who submit their applications in for ex jan 2010 whose processing does not start yet and for those applicants in april for example where processing had begun already

enlighten me please....
 
that is why no one could guess the style of work carried out on MI-1 applications.
many sent inquiries to CHC ND, London, Singapore and got the common replies that they have more number of applications than they can process any given year or they have a priority to follow and it could take 2 or more years to finalize these hanging cases.
 
I wanted to share my experience with the 'address disappearance' on ecas for the benefit of others.

Initial Application: Nov.30.2009 (Pre-June2010)
From: Bangladesh
VO: Singapore
File transfer to VO: Feb.2010
File started processing: Nov.30.2010
Current ECAS status: 'In process'

On Sep.13.2011, my address disappeared from ECAS. Today, on Sep.19.11 I received Med Req, RPRF Req, Personal Net Worth Statement Req which was dated Sep.14.11

This in my view means: 'Whenever' our address disappears on ECAS, there is a 'very good' chance that our case is going to move ahead (i.e. if we are 'in process' then we move onto 'MED REQ' and if we are on 'med rcvd' then we may just move to Passport req or visa issue)

Hope this sheds light on all the people like me who have been /are waiting eagerly without any specific idea as to where things are going or what to expect next.

I like to thank QORAX for the support and advice, specially about CAIPS, from which I got a clear picture about my case. I had no idea about CAIPS (the way we find out our file status at the VO) until I read QORAX posts and answers to my inquiries.

Therefore, ALLAH is kind and will show us light, if we BELIEVE! Have Faith.
 
Congrats on getting MR...

I wrote the following mail to the Hon'ble Immigration Minister Canada

The Honourable Jason Kenney, P.C., M.P.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada

Dear Honorable Minister,

I am writing this mail on my and on behalf of numerous applicants who have applied for immigration under your Ministerial Instruction 1 (MI-1)
My e-cas status for permanent resident under FSW1 is showing received by new Delhi visa office pending review. My application was received by CIO on 3 may, 2010 and I submitted my full application and supporting documents on 9 November, 2010 to new Delhi visa office. I got acknowledgment letter of receipt of my complete application package from New Delhi visa office dated 18 January, 2011 along with receipt of payment for landing fees too. New Delhi visa office instructs me to contact them directly if I didn't hear from them in 3 months after submission of my full application package and the processing time of 8 months to finalize my application.
It is surprising to observe that those who applied postjune2010 under ministerial instruction 2 got their medical and passport request by New Delhi visa office earlier than me though they have applied after me.

CANADA IS KNOWN FOR ITS FAIR PRACTICES, I AM NO WHERE ASKING FOR MY APPLICATION TO BE PROCESSED FASTER THAN OTHERS, All I seek is for the immigration authorities to stick as close to the timelines as was promised by them based on which good faith thousands of people like me have reposed there trust on the Canada Immigration department and have applied investing considerable time, efforts and money on the application process.

I understand that thousands of applications have yet to get decisions for permanent resident programme under FSW, but I do not understand as to why is the CIO than accepting new applications if there are already a lot of applications pending review.

Kindly look into the same as this might be just a file for the immigration department but each file is actually a LIFE for someone.

I hope to get a just and fast response/resolution from your department not only for me but all of us applicants.

Thanks & Regards,

XXXXX

New Delhi Visa Office
