I'm 100% of the same frame of mind. I'd trade some processing time for more accurate and timely feedback.

So, another Tuesday approaches...

In all honesty, I'm hopeful but not expecting anything to happen.

I'll be dropping a case specific message in a week or so to let them know that my 8 months is up, I'm now married and I'm also leaving my current job at the end of the month.

Oh I guess...

Subject: Immigration File number: B 1234 5679 1

Dear Sir or Madam

Re: FSW1 Permanent Residence Immigration Application

Applicant: Full Name
Date of Birth: month dd yyyy
British Citizen

File Number: B 1234 5679 1

I am writing as per the information received in the Advice of Receipt letter dated month dd yyyy.

Eight months have now passed since receipt of the above mentioned letter.

I should be grateful if you could advise on the progress being made with my application and if there is any further information I may be able to supply by way of assistance.

Yours Sincerely

Full Name


That should do the trick.

I feel you've may have a better chance than some of us at seeing some progress soon as you are still on the current CIC FSW NOC - eligible occupation - list.

We all live in hope though

I would say to wait, sending a case would not yield a thing (at least this is what I believe) they shall respond after a long time with standard reply.
this may cause further delay to your case, this is at least what I read as a TIP or THREAT i don't know, in the application kit.

Apologies
It appears that whilst you replied to my original response I was editing my post. I hope the extra information is of some help.

I'm not sure that doing nothing helps much either.

I agree with james that doing nothing would be of no help, I will still go ahead and try my luck......
nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say

We should definitely be sending 8 month emails as the CIC said we should if we had heard nothing from them in that time. Additionally, some people have gone 'in process' a week or so following the prompt, I don't think that is a coincidence.

Ive sent 2x case specific emails in the past and didnt include any of my info on the email itself ie B number etc as they ask for this on the form before you write the email. Wouldnt do any harm though. This is the form I always use
https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemai...mission=london

always had a response up to now

good luck all.

Default Re: AOR from London August/September 2010 - Progress updates

Well tomorrow I am sending, ahead of any request from CIC London, new PCC's for the country I am resident in (Portugal). The last ones expire (under CIC rules) at the end if this month. So, rather than wait for a potential request for another PCC, if and when I go into process, I thought it might (just) help if I send the new ones ahead of the game and they have to drag out my file to add some more information. We'll see. In the interim, an 8 months since AOR inquiry has also been sent. Just pulling out, of the available arsenal, whatever may help push things along. You just never know

I've just sent a case specific email.
turns out our AOR date is actually 11th Aug and not 21st like I had thought.
Our police checks are dated 13th may too. I wonder if we will need to have those renewed.
oh well we will see what reply we get to our enquiry.
