Hey Johar Ali,

Nothing as yet. The e-CAS status has not changed either. Guess I'll order CAIPS notes to see whats going on.

Thanks

cal97:

You should be getting something soon since your CAIPS notes had a date of 13-01-05.
What is going on....

kris7077: They do nto respond to faxes and will get upset if you keep faxing or mailing. However,t ehy do take appropriate action upon recieving faxes. The best way for you is order CAIPS notes.

BTW: I am not guru and am one of you

 

[Johar Ali]

received stamped passport

I received passports stamped with canadian immigration visa.

My medical was expiring in march 2005. So I was little scared if I will get visa upto March 2005. But I got visa upto July 2005.

Any of you are in the same situation, do not worry. They will give almost six month time to land.

Planning to land in march or april.

 

[gckadiwana]

Hi, I just mailed my passports in. I have seen in immigration.ca that if you have less than a couple of weeks they would give you 6 months to land....

I also callled up a freind's friend about the issue. he concurred the same. It is too much of a rush to go to canada now.

I received stamped passport with visa upto July 2005. My medical was expiring in march 2005.

Looks like CIC is processing June applications now. They are advancing pretty good!!

Landing fee refund

I got my passport stamped. I am primary applicant. My wife and son are dependent applicant.

Now, I am planning to land myself to get canadian PR.

If my wife does not land. Will I get her $715 landing fee refund (in the scenario that I will land and she will not land)? Is it possible?

Hi Gurus

Hi guru's need your advise on how to proceed.

Initial Date of application reached to Canadian Buffalo consulate: December 19, 2003
Received a letter saying personal interview required with visa officer-Canadian consulate General in New York: July 07, 2004
Married and submitted my wife application as dependant (without FBI report): September 2004
Medicals Done: December 31 2004.

I did not hear anything afterwards. Will you guys advice me for following actions?

1. Did any of you guys receive interview date? (Applied after Dec 19, 2003)

2. How can I know my exact status? (E-client status shows INPROCESS for last one year
2 months).
3. What is CAIPS? How can I initiate this on my case?

I appreciate your information. Thanks in advance.

due to exchange rate the fee has gone up so check CIC official website for current fee. It will also be mentioned once you get IA letter from CIC.
