Hi

Have just come across this thread and feel better about waiting times now we know we are in this scheme.

AINP received: August 2011
PR sent to NS: 6 January 2012
Monies taken from card: 1 February 2012
Further info request: 29 Feb 2012

It's great they seem to be approachable and pleasant in Ottowa. Thanks to everyone who has posted here. :)

Ecas now updated to say medicals received, hopefully a little closer :fingerscrossed:

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

Any passport requests this week???:fingerscrossed:

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

Just got this email from Ottawa Pilot

Your file has been forwarded to our office in Buffalo for completion of processing. You should hear from them in 6-10 weeks about payment of the Right of Permanent Residence Fee and visa issuance procedures.


Good news yes... but another bloomin' wait. Problem is that as we have rep in way of company lawyer we don't pay the fee ourselves and they may wait until requested :thumbdown:

Is the fee request from Buffalo at the same time or before passport requests, I imagine it would be before. So frustrating this may hold it all up yet longer :frown:

Any thoughts anyone?

It seems like that Buffalo Is pretty slow in finalizing these. i received the email from Ottawa 3 weeks ago that my file is finalized, but haven't received passport request from Buffalo yet.

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

I had a similar thread on this a while back - some say they ask for it together, some say they ask for it before.

Suppose it would make more sense to ask for them together. I'm planning on taking the passports to Buffalo, so would be handy to just take the cash with me rather than arseing around with bankers drafts and couriers.

Snowcandy,

BRILLIANT NEWS :thumbsup:

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

Thank you so much. The lawyer has confirmed they are now sending the RTPR fee to Buffalo, so hopefully we will not be too far behind you with our passport requests:fingerscrossed:

Oh and ECAS was updated this week to say meds received.

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

I am so pleased for you.

We got an e-mail yesterday asking for the extra docs they asked for. So I replied by telling them they will be with them by mid next weeks and gave then exact dates of posting. So hopefully we will also hear in the next few weeks. Might even see you at the border, dancing around the flagpole next to me!!!!!!!!:)

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

Hope yours all goes smoothly :fingerscrossed:

Haha, where are you planning to flagpole? We're not sure yet, suppose it really depends on the time of year that it eventually comes through and how much snow is still on the ground!

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

Also hope yours goes smoothly.:fingerscrossed:
Not sure on where yet to flagpole. It will just be a long weekend trip away.
So looking forward to the end of this process:)

Re: Case Processing Pilot Ottawa Timelines- please add your experiences
 

you don't have to flagpole these days, just book an appointment at your local CIC office and they can do it, somewhere on here is the details...

:thumbsup:

Thanks Keith
We need to look into it as I heard there was about a 6 week wait. I sound impatient but, we need to do this as soon as we can. Lots of reasons at the mo :)
