Guest Rachter Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Congratulations PSmith911!! Saw you requested for the Canadian PCC in Feb. How long did it take you to get the results back assuming you posted from outside of Canada? Did you get the results back before getting a CO? I've sent mine off from Sydney last week and estimating 15-16 weeks.... Congratulations :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy: You are now Purple.

oppyddrum Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hey Oppyddrum - do you have a CO? I see on the spreadsheet that your meds were "requested" but it doesn't show you have been allocated... that is an error; i probably caused the confusion when i said "PCC requested"... i meant to say applied for the PCCs. I am frontloading in preparation for being allocated. i have 2 out of the 3 PCCs uploaded. waiting on the last one. The medicals were done last week and results have been sent to DIAC, so it is all basically frontloaded. I don't want to wait an extra second i can avoid by frontloading. sorry about the confusion, i'm with you on the wait for CO allocation.

Jambos Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Does anybody have examples of how long it took from employer being contacted by Oz High Commission to getting VISA? I am thinking it should not be too long!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking it should not be too long!! Hi Jambos, my employer was contacted approx 3 weeks ago and still nothing, as you probably know, we FL everything (Meds, PCCs, Form 80) and still no word from CO.. :cry: hopefully, it won't be too long for you!!

Angela Stevens Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 As far as I am aware there has been no contact to my employers. Not sure if this is something that is routine or random dependent on CO. Hope they don't contact today as I am off work with rotten cold! Only been in waiting room for one day and already feels like an eternity! I have a feeling that this is going to be the toughest part to date!

I have a feeling that this is going to be the toughest part to date! Totally agree with you Angela on this being the toughest part. You now have no more input to the application and are totally at the mercy of the CO. As regards employment verification. I don't think DIAC contact all applicant's employers. It seems to be a random selection. Unless their policy has changed and they now contact all applicant's employers via their overseas resources. Hope you feel better soon. I always feel much better at around 11:00am when I have a cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHandGH Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Be honest; how many times a day are you checking you online status? For me I reckon it's 4 on average. Edited April 25, 2012 by SHandGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NatsB Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Be honest; how many times a day are you checking you online status? For me I reckon it's 4 on average. Last night it was - 11pm, 2am, 4am, 6am and 8am. (whenever the pregnancy bladder wakes me up to pee!) I check emails, and then online status. At 6am and 9am I check this thread to see if anyone got lucky! I give it one last go around 9.30am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angela Stevens Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Hilarious!!! Having some time out from work and no noisy children has made me feel much better! The only time I get some peace is when I am poorly! Have been doing some property searches between the beechams and refilling the hot water bottle! Thanks for the soup! Just to gain another bout of sympathy....it is also my birthday! Hope some news comes your way before the week is out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My morning routine; Check emails, Check on line status (numbers all known off by heart), check PIO to make sure Nats hasn't beaten me to the finishing post!!
