Dear Qorax,

I am a new member... with your assistance extended to all others you seems to be a messenger from GOD.

My case details are as follows -

- Indian citizen, stayed at Oman and currently in UAE/Dubai
- Application filled through consultant in Dec 2009
- AOR's in Feb'10 and June'10
- eCas status - 'In Process" from Mar 2011
- Almost 23 months from first AOR

Kindly suggest

1) Can I raise my query directly to London VO using my personal email id ? keeping consultant transparent ? will it have any other impact on current address of communication?

2) Can I obtain my CAIPS directly without involving my consultant

3) With present trend it looks my case is delayed where few of our good friends are able to land in 20 months period

Thanks in advance

1. Yes, u can. However sometimes the IOs decline to respond; and sometimes ask u to come thru ur agent.
2. Yes, u can. -No issues. It, in any case, is being handled by a different office [not ur VO].
3. 2009 cases could take 36 months now to finalize. U've to wait.

Hi all,
I am writing this post almost 3 months after landing in Vancouver.I had applied from Dubai and got my visa after 16 months.
Landed at Vancouver Int'l airport. The immigration and customs officials were very nice. I did not face any problem as I had prepared all my documents very nicely (THANKS QORAX).The officer was pleased to see all documents in an organized manner. He informed me that I will receive my PR card within 45 days (I recd. on time).I was out of the airport in 45 minutes.

My friend had rented an appartment for me close to all amenities (schools, bus stop,stores), which is important in initial days here.Next day I went to services Canada and applied for the SIN card (without any hassles).Then I opened a bank account (again friendly and helpful staff).

The next day I went for the driving license. They gave me a book and asked me to read and then come for the knowledge test (on computer).I read the book for around 2 days and gave the test and passed. They told me that since I have a UAE license I can appear for the road test any time. I went there the next day and gave the road test and passed (they let you drive for around 45 minutes on different roads).

A few days later I bought a car. And at the same time I started applying for jobs.Finding a job is a full time job and after around 60 applications and 4 interviews I found a job (after 2 months). Its a good job and pays me OK.
My advise is to be mentally prepared to face the hardship here in finding the jobs.Be prepared to face rejections but stay positive.

A big big congrats.
Soby
