  1. The issue perhaps is that you’re trying to make sense of the status changes, when really the only one that matters is “Issued.” “Administrative Processing” status is good too, as it often happens right before printing. There is no standard progression really. Mine was “Issued” and went back to “Refused” for a day, never got “Administrative Processing.” Goes to show how you can’t assign too much meaning to the status. Good job with the RCMP certificate.
  2. AP is not just for incomplete or insufficient documents, it is also for vetting and verification. If your status changed to “Administrative Processing” on CEAC from “Refused” it’s usually a good thing, it means they’re almost ready to issue the visa. If they weren’t, it would remain in “Refused (long text)” while 221g AP is sorted.
  3. That’s so messed up that they directed you to Toyota Canada👎
  4. It looks like your original issue was an incorrect PCC, but now that they’ve asked you for DS 5535 your situation changes. Missing documents are usually resolved in 6-8 weeks, but DS 5535 is extreme vetting and that doesn’t usually resolve in Montreal for many months, or a year plus for some. Wish you a speedy resolution!
  5. Until recently most had their passports kept after interview. They probably realized how inefficient that was, as some had to request for them back for travel. They don’t need the passport for anything aside from visa printing.
  6. I think you’re confused, or you’re not understanding the process. Whatever they asked for, give it to them. If they also asked for DS 5535, that usually means you’ll be waiting a while. No point in sending your passport before your DS 5535 clears.
  7. Whoa, they want it as a .txt file now? Interesting. The 221g slip is just what’s outstanding. So supplemental questions (DS 5535), then once that’s cleared on their end they’ll ask for your passport to be sent back to them, so they can print the visa, hence “passport.”
  8. I don’t think you’re overreacting, it’s quite reasonable for you to worry about another thing possibly delaying what’s already been an incredibly long wait. It’s always better to use the ais system when sending stuff in, things can get lost in the shuffle otherwise. Also, everything goes to a pre-screening site first, so it can take a while for documents to land on a CO’s desk; it’s not unusual for people to wait 6-8 weeks after document submission.
  9. Canada’s easy, lots of world class schools there!
