AP for longer time is very normal for Pakistan. You can go to your country forum and you see people both getting approved and those who have been in AP for months and some year

For both of you in AP it may be helpful to look at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/523897-new-islamabad-ap-tracker-part-iii-merged-thread/

AP through Islamabad can be quite short (a month or two) or quite long (years), there is no way to predict how long your AP will last

For peace of mind, ONCE every 90 days email the embassy to check the progress of your case

Just wanted to relay an experience with folks in case anyone is thinking of doing the same as I did.

I filed for and have been receiving EI since March. My previous employment in Canada was in the IT world so the easiest thing for me to do was pick up a consulting job. I lived and worked in Nova Scotia, but due to my previous employment, I have lots of contacts in large IT firms in Toronto (ie IBM, HP, Microsoft, etc) With only being in the US for 2 months I didn't have a lot of IT contacts here, so I planned a trip in late April to go to TO to network with my contacts and see if I could get some work. I did not have specific "interviews" but more of making contacts, seeing what projects where on the go and see if my skills matched any gaps they had.

I flew to TO on a Tuesday, and networked Wed, Thursday and Friday, stayed the weekend and flew home on Monday. I was honest with EI. Before I even took the trip I let them know my plan, and intentions. The person I spoke to on the phone said it sounded reasonable and took my information and said someone would review it but that it should not be a problem. When I was away I made my report and again relayed in the information on my travel (as I was outside my home location). I was informed that they would be holding back the payment for that week until a decision was made. This sounded reasonable, but no red flags.

Fast forward to the next report (ie 2 weeks later), I called in my report as per normal, no issues....I noticed a few days later there was no deposit. I called and they said that since my claim was under review for my travel, that I should continue to report, but no monies would be paid until a decision was made on my travel 3 weeks previous. I found this a bit annoying because I had not been out of my home area since my return and had indicated so on my report.

2 weeks later, I made another report....no payment. I asked where my case was and why it was taking it so long. At that point I was transferred to level 2 and the person evaluating my case....I have to say this was not the best experience I have had in a while. The first question from her was what was the "real" reason why I went to Toronto? I repeated my story. Then she wanted contact info for the HR departments of the companies I went to because she did not believe that a Canadian company would ever hire a US consultant. I provided examples of hiring US consultants when I was working in Canada. She would not except the explanation and insisted on HR contacts. I indicated that I never met with HR but with contacts I knew that could either recommend me or provide other contacts. She did not want these contacts, she wanted interview dates and times and HR contacts. I could not provide those to them. The conversation was getting a bit heated, it was being insinuated that I was going home (ie to Nova Scotia), that I really wasn't looking for work. At that point I had not been paid for 5 weeks, so rather than hold this up anymore I stopped the process and agreed to not get paid for the time in TO.

The reason for me sharing this is as a bit of a warning. If you are looking to be out of your home area, looking for work, please, please make sure you have lots of proof, make sure that the folks you are meeting with will agree to have a conversion with EI to confirm, etc. I guess the most frustrating thing about this (besides losing a week of benefits) is I had consulted with EI weeks before, had been open and upfront and honest about my intentions and was told it would not be a problem, but this would not hold true. I know that there is lots of suggestions of what I could have done...but use this as what not to do.


Monitor, sorry, I posted this in the wrong thread, Can you move this to Canuck EI thread???? Sorry about that.
