Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

It may have moved to Montreal due to load distribution. Had your eligibility done as per your GCMS notes? If you're in Montreal and AOR in July ... you need to wait till Dec end of January to actually hope for PPR. Given the trend we have seen here it would be your extreme good luck if you get PPR in Nov ... Highly unlikely ... unless you end up in Ottawa again due to load distribution.

Have you seen cases like that? where the cases was transferred and re transferred

Yes. Not specifically with Montreal but there are many cases like that.

 

[maverick1982]

Yes. Not specifically with Montreal but there are many cases like that.

Thanks, lets hope for a miracle

 

[cansha]

Thanks, lets hope for a miracle

Miracles do happen. So lets see. I personally cant believe I crossed 4 months. I really wanted it to be over by now. For me the coping mechanism is to find as much data as possible. Its difficult to hope in the dark. I know Montreal is slow but I still hope that they change their ways soon. There are far too many battles ahead of ppr. Don’t want to get drained just waiting for ppr

So true. But you know only tough people get tough battles. Somehow that gives me strength to think of it that way. Whatever i apply for, i usually face delays so im kind of used to it. But visa uncertainty is certainly a beast

All of will be through soon, its a matter of time and time fly's these days. As we are in Montreal we know that our cases will be finalized in 5-6 months only, so lets worry only after 6 months. Keep sharing any updates, hope for a nice week with lots of PPR's

Agree.

Just for laughs: Analogy between the Montreal VO and a supermassive black hole

Montreal VO seems like a distant supermassive black hole that isn't surrounded with a plenty of matter (the PR applications).
However, once the application flies nearby to it, it's gonna fall into the event horizon of the Montreal VO and 'time' virtually stops there.
That's the reason that the Montreal folks work in a completely different time scale (because time runs extremely slower close to the black hole), making their movements so slow that it takes months for them to actually reach to the files and even touch it. After they have files in their hands they again work pretty slowly on them and put it aside leaving them unfinished. Again it takes weeks or even months for them to take the files back and finish the incomplete work.
In the meantime, the outside observers (us) have no idea on what's going on there because it's a black hole where most of the laws of physics don't apply. However, the black hole releases, every now and then, some 'Hawking radiations' in the form of GCMS notes and application outcomes (PPRs).

Let's hope that all of us get the positive information out of those Hawking radiations pretty soon

[ishangodbole]

We are approaching last week of October and majority of April applicants still haven't been processed

Sometimes I get negative thoughts about “80% get PPR within 6 months” rule. What if rest of the 20% are all from slow VOs like Montreal?
But then a positive thought crossed my mind too - what if they start to accelerate now, just to meet their year-end targets?!
Bad day at work for me, so my brain is hooked to Canada dreams
