Good Morning Canadians (or soon to be Canadians),

We have exciting news today!

After submitting a federal PR application to the Buffalo Visa Office based on a PNP approval, we received a request for our client’s original passport. Finally! (The waits for approvals seem to be getting longer and longer…..such is CIC’s work load).

The above paragraph sounds just normal, doesn’t it? However, there was a little incident behind. Let tell you the story.

After a bit more time than the average processing time according to the CIC website passed, we sensed that there was something unusual with the client’s case. We quickly requested the client’s case information from the Seattle Visa Office (the client’s case had been transferred from the Buffalo Visa Office to the Seattle Visa Office) and found out that the Seattle Visa Office had been waiting for the client’s PR Visa issuance without any reason. CIC forgot to request the client’s passport until we made them aware of the situation! It is so unfortunate that the client had to take the medical exam twice and spend the extra unnecessary time waiting, but now, we know everything is back on track.

The Seattle Visa Office promised to swiftly issue the client’s PR Visa, so we will keep you posted.

It pays to stay on top of your case!

Congratulations, Ms. HJ Bang!
