Hi All,

I want to share what happened with me due to poor services of CIC with regards to closing an application on time and informing the applicant. As my issued visa kept sitting with them for 3 months and I received it 1 day before its expiry.

My timeline is
Case submitted: Mar 2014
Transfered to LVO: Apr 2014
Inprocess and Decision Made: Nov 26 2014
PPR: Jan 8th 2015
Passport received back: 27th Feb 2015 at 8.00 pm

Visa Issue Date: November 26th 2014
Expiry date of Visa: Mar 1st 2015.

Entered Canada as an immigrant: 1st Mar 2015

I am glad that my case was processed within 8 months, but the torture of entering Canada on time and planing my flight within 3 hours of receiving the passport was awful.

It looked like CIC Had no plans of returning it for another few months until our MP pushed them. I just want you all to be extra careful with delays and their poor services.Thanks.

I can feel the pressure and tension you had to go through and i am sorry about that. Thanks for sharing it as it will help us prepare better for the unexpected.
May Allah Ease this process on us and give CIC some system and structure to deal better with people's lives.

Hi! How are you?
Did you get that dispatched information by checking online tracking number Or you call VAC?

All the best!

Thanks!

Since google wasn't giving me any answers, I called the VAC office. They said you can pick up your passport 48 hours after your status changes to dispatched. Since ours changed on the 10th, we should be able to pick it up tomorrow, InshAllah :)
