Hi Everybody,

I think all of those who attended the get together enjoyed and got a chance to know each other.

Now u have a new group of friends who are there to help.

So let us sail together irrespective of color, religion, language and place to our dream land and move thereafter with our brothers and sisters who already reached there.

We are one family

Good luck to all

Best rgds

2) I am going to have a baby soon inshallah next week so how do i add onto the application
3) What are the final docs that need to be sent to CHC London > i understand we have to send the copy of docs that we sent to CIO as well
4) My dob on passport is different from my educational docs its 1st jan 1980 on pp and 30 march on educational docs can i get an affidivat from pak embassy clarifying the same that its their error

hi Appan,

thanks for  the reply appan .We didnot receive any mail from ottawa or london. Rather i sent a mail to them inquiring about the status of our case on 20th oct but no reply till date. I applied own my own (no consultant). We have done our medicals today and doc will sent the reports tom. to London. I will write to London for delay and hope my case will not be delayed because of this.

godwilling

Dear All,

Its real a great get together. last get together in Sahara Centre was great one and now this is excellent one. As this is a blend of sharing experience of present situation before getting visa and also situation after landing. There are six or seven senior members who have already landed including captain who shared there views with us which is definitely gave immense courage.

Really a great get-together, I missed last part as I had to join office. But anyway the experience what I got will definitely treasure for days to come.

Thanks a lot Biju for arranging such a beautiful get-together and thanks a lot captain for sparing time and sharing valuable experience with us. Hope to meet you again here in Dubai as well as in Canada.


Cheers,
Ranjan
