Has your online status changed to 'Medicals received'?. I am in similar situation. My medicals were done in Kuwait on 8-June-2008 and waiting for PPR. My medical reports were delivered to CIC on June 12, but still there is no change in status.

Did you receive any interview waiver information? I received my medicals and completed on June 08, 2008, but I did not receive any information about interview waiver. Thanks for sharing the information.

Prasant,
They might have posted Medical Papers to you on 22-JULY-2008 as that marks completion of your 3 months response time. It usually takes 15 days after they post, to receive their letter in Kuwait. So, good luck.

Hi Prasant :
Well , I don't know what to tell you , but as I have noticed from several sites
the London office guys seem to have stopped working for now either because of the new law or because of the summer vacation.
Any way I pray for all of us waiting to hear good news , to get these soon quickly and with no delay.
Good Luck

Hi Mayoo,

Yup you are right. I have to wait a little bit more to get some response from CHC London. I don't think so that it will effect my case if I'll move to some other country.

Hi dear,

I have also submitted my file as FSW with AEO on 11 june 08 in New Delhi office. My medical has been done on 1st July 08. Now I am waiting for fortune to knock at my door. I daily log in the CIC website . but it shows the monotonous message IN Process. We all are the passengers on a same boat. Look when the wind blows & bring us to the other shore. Hope it will happen soon. Because Delay is better than deny. Best of luck to all of the passengers( Collegaues)

Hi, May

I am an Indian, working in Kuwait and am trying to get PR mainly for a better education of my children in Canada. I think you work in UAE, and your are an Iraqi national, is that right? What are your reasons for getting a PR, if you would like to share? Thanks.

Hi
Well my reasons are quite similar to yours .
As me and my husband work here in the UAE , but it is not home and u can see what is happening to my home country
so quite eager to look for a place to feel secure in and provide better education and future for the kids.

Hello, when you moved out from Saudi Arabia ..did you inform CIC? It seemed to me you did not; that's the reason CIC wanted updated info. Write an explanation to CIC why could not you submit a new one and I am sure CIC knows about that.

Just curious...

Is any of you a fan of emailing CIC?
Do you email them often?
Do you think is okay to email them to ask about the status of you application?
Pros and Cons of emailing CIC?


I am thinking about emailing them... but don't know if it's a good idea... I don't want to piss them off! lOl

FSW Application sent June 2005 - 90 Days update letter Mar/07 - Medicals, RPRF and one more police report requested Nov/07 - Medicals and RPRF sent Dec/07 - Last police report sent Jun 23, 2008

Hello rwethereyet,

Your waiting period is over since you submitted med in Dec 2007. It says wait 90 days/120days on that Med request letter. I sent twice enquiry once in April 2008( reply BG check outstanding) and July 9,2008 ...got reply BG check is going on ..we will send you a request to submit your passport when it's over. Funny thing the PPR I got 23 of July but that letter date was 12 of July. Remember you are not a criminal ...so there is nothing to afraid..you can send an enquiry you are a customer for them. Good luck


My time line May 2005, updated infor req. Jan 2007, More updated info SEpt. 2007, October PCC request and Med req, Med done 29 OCT. 2007 and PPR received July 23,2008.

Dear Tansarut... thank you so much for your reply... I think I am going to write to them... the thing is that it took me a long time to provide CIC with a police report from my husbands native country... we had to go thru hell to get it (it's a long story)...

If you read my timeline you can see that I sent my medicals in Dec but it wasn't until June 23rd that I sent them the last piece of paper they asked me to send ... I wrote to them while I was waiting for the police report to be processed to keep them informed of the status of it... they told me they were going to wait for the report to be ready (I was afraid they were going to close my file because it took me so long) ... so since they were so nice and waited for me to send this paper over to them... now I feel I should do the same... I should just let them finish whenever they finish... but...

I was really hoping to be able to get an answer before the end of the summer... perhaps even move to Canada before the beginning of the school year... that is why I am tempted to ask about the status of my application...

I requested my CAIPS notes for the same reasons... I want to have an idea about the outcome of my application... but I haven't received them yet... perhaps it will take another week or so... I was thinking to wait until I get my CAIPS, see what's on there and then if everything looks okay, I will write to CIC requesting an update on my application...

I know I am just being paranoid... I am sorry for being raving and ranting at this point... I want a positive outcome so badly!

Thank you, for your help anyways... I will come back to tell you what happens!

Good Bless you! and by the way CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I wish you the best in Canada!

Ciao, I missed that info 23 june..anyway, I am sure they are doing the security check and you will have a result before October 2008. Make sure your passports are valid at least 2 years. When CIC ask your passport to give the PR visa..it has to be at least 1 year valid..otherwise you PR visa will valid until your passport validation. And 2 copies of photograph for each applicant. Good luck and hope you will get your visa before October.
