Did you get your initial assessment with your medicals
 Posted by engineer on 27 Dec 2007
no
 Posted by Carmen on 27 Dec 2007
so you mean you also got the medicals, but never got the initial assessment from them.
 Posted by engineer on 27 Dec 2007
Exactly Carmen. What happened with you?
 Posted by Carmen on 27 Dec 2007
I also received my medicals and RCMP request but when I enquired with them they told me they haven't done Initial assessment yet. I have read here that people get IA with the medicals, but since you haven't received IA as well so probably different IO's have different ways to process the application.

after your application was moved to Seattle, did it show up on the Online application status, or does it just say In Process?
 Posted by engineer on 11 Feb 2008
Yes. It is showining it as moved to Seattle in the detailed section.

Can you please tell me exactly how long it took for the embassy in egypt to complete the process of your application from the time they recieved it , processed it and you received it? And what form of visa did you come into canada with?
 Posted by engineer on 19 Feb 2008
Hi ejeequeen,
The Canadian embassy in Egypt did not process my application. I was in Canada on a work permit then got my PNP and applied in Buffalo.
For Cairo processing time, you can look here :

everything on your case so far has happened a month before mine, so i'm hoping to get a passport request around march 25th. was the passport request the first thing you received from seattle? and did ur online status change during the passport request period? thanks.
 Posted by engineer on 24 Mar 2008
>>was the passport request the first thing you received from seattle?
Yes.
>>and did ur online status change during the passport request period?
No. But within few hours after landing the status changed into PR.

Thanks. I got my passport request on March 25th as predicted. I guess my last question is, at what point did you pay the Right to Permanent Resident fee? The passport request says nothing about it and the website says it has to be paid before the application is complete. I will go ahead an include it with my passport. Can you please let me know what you did? thanks.

Hi lowrider, when was your case transfered to seattle? Mine was transfered on Feb 13, I was just wondering when can I get the passport request? Thanks in advance.
 Posted by engineer on 26 Mar 2008
Hi lowrider, I sent my RPRF on January to Buffalo. I think you need to include it with your passports as you can pay it anytime during the process and it seems now is the right time for you.
 Posted by lowrider on 26 Mar 2008
Hey jackson. mine was exactly on Feb 13th also. You should get your passport request soon. The request letter was printed on March 17th and I got it in the mail yesterday, on the 25th. I will create a timeline of my application tonight. engineer's has been really helpful, being that im on Alberta PNP to buffalo, and other similarities.
Well I just mailed in my passport with my fee in it. Should get there by Fri or Monday. Thanks.

Hi lowrier, thanks so much for your infomation, i'm hoping to get a passport request this week.Thanks.
 Posted by jackson on 09 Apr 2008
Hi engineer, would you please share me the info about how long did it take to get your passport back? Thanks in advance:)
 Posted by engineer on 20 Apr 2008
I used fedex waybill (one day only), got the passports in weeks.
 Posted by engineer on 20 Apr 2008
sorry 2 weeks
 Posted by waitingforpr on 05 Oct 2008
Thanks for the reply

Just few question on timelines:

A) How many day approximately after medicals were you guys requested to send landing fees which is $ 490/individual. How many days u had to pay that fees.
B) How many days after submitting landing fees were u requested to submitt your passport, how much timeframe was provided by CIC to submiit your passport to stamp for PR.

Thanks for your help.
