Thread for applicants of NEW DELHI 2010!

[CanadiansWife]

Hey guys,

Any updates?

[Arjun3]

yes there is someone on this forum, he applied under skilled worker and didnt put birth certificate but sent school certificate just like me. his application package was returned after 3 months.
i sent only 10th certificate photocopy not notorized and i didnt send my voter card because i have different dates on that

Ouch! Perhaps they will do a additional document request this time, who knows. I think skilled worker is processed somewhere else, and family class is processed in Mississauga. Maybe the VOs in Mississauga are bit more lenient. When did you submit in your application and received by CPC-M? and is it for spouse sponsorship?

You may as well get an affidavit ready in lieu of birth certificate, read the posts by infiant in this thread (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/alternative-to-birth-certificate-t69618.0.html;msg725399#msg725399) and the post by ariell in this thread (http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/birth-certificate-and-voter-id-original-t31035.0.html;msg194338#msg194338).

Thanks Ashu,

In documents checklist Point no : 17 & 19 its very complicated......i m sending my original notice of assessments along with my T4's in original to CIC...also i will be attaching my pay stubs for past 3 months to present date...please let me know if that is suffice

Secondly do we need to send photographs of the wife...please let me know

Thirdly do we need to submit Appendix A as well ...reason i m asking is we have already added documents checklist which has all info for Appendix A please let me know what shall i do


Fourth is photos i was thinking of pasting them on white plain papers but they have mentioned to send loose and not in albums or any binder how u had sent it.

You are really helpful my friend sori to bombard with questions

Thanks
Abhi

hi abhi im  not sure about question 17 and 19. but i think that will be more than enough. and you need to send 6 photos of your wife and appendix A also because we dont know which checklist they will follow. its better to stay safe, send both checklists and double check everything before you submit. i sent around 100 photos all together in 10-15 separate white envelopes. i divided envelopes according to each trip and function we attended, i mean different envelope for religious ceremony, reception, honeymoon, trip with friends and trip with relatives and write date, location and name of person in photos on the backside of each photo. i wrote question number and form number also on the envelope like they had one question about religious ceremony, one about reception and honeymoon.
hope this helps

I got a DM this morning. It shows "toronto, ontario" as current address. no street number or anything....
When I click on DM, it still says...app received....med recived....started processing.....

 

Congrats New Delhi!!!!! I don't think I congratulated you before. When is your wife landing?

[CanadiansWife]

Hi guys,

As promised, here are the details of when my husband arrived in Canada:

First they ask a bunch of general questions like "who sponsored you", "have you been to Canada before", and address details.

Then they ask you sign the COPR in their presence and hand you your copy of the form along with a big bag full of a binder and information about Canada and in our case, Ontario.

The whole process took about 5-10 minutes with the officer and it was quick and simple--no hassles. The officer was really friendly and was quite surprised at how fast my husband got his PR. She was telling him that she talks to people who have been waiting almost 2 years.

I hope this helps and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend and may the next week be full of AORs, PPRs, and DMs!

Thank you KSunny! Sounds like the landing process went smooth Enjoy your future together in Canada!! I hope to still see you drop in on this  forum for support

Also- did your husband take a lot of stuff with him? I have a lot of things I need  to take with me, like clothes and wedding presents lol

Please note that I have been called for an Interview next Monday 16th April.

Details:
I and my Wife got married last year in Feb 2011 and it was arranged marriage. My Wife had to go back to Canada 1 day after our Wedding, due to her Work committements. Also, we did not have big ceremony on our Wedding, due to death of my Dad (25th December 2010) and it was only 1 year.

I have been asked to sent documents almost 3-4 times by ND.

MY Wife submitted application on April 2011. She got approval for sponser in may 2011.
After that my File got transferred to New Delhi in May 2011. Then after, in August i have been asked to submit my Passport which i have done in a weeks time.
Then, i have received below letters to submit few of other documents,

1) They needed to know the reason why my Wife went back so early, why there were only few people in the weeding, why did not we go for Honeymoon.
  A: - Wife had to go back as she was having her work commitments, Only few People where there due to death of my Dad,. DId not have the enough time to go for honeymoon.

2) Why my Wife did not come to India for the Reception in August 2011.
  A:-  In Original Application our Stupid (Lawyer) has mentioned that my wife will come to India and we will have Reception in August. Which was not happened and that is why my wife did not come to India. Also, her Grand dad also passed away that was the reason we did not have ceremony.

3) They asked me to send them All my Docs (Work, education,....)
  A - Reason for this as i have been to UK for 3 years so once i received this letter, i have sent them all my work documents, education qualification and residential proofs to them.



Also, My wife came to India in January 2012 and we have spent 2 and half months together. We also go for Honeymoon in this 2 and half months too. Also, we clicked so many pictures too.

Now, i have been called for an Interview, so could you please advice why I have been asked for an Interview and what sort of question they will ask?


I really appreciated your help.


Thanks

My guess is you have been called as they doubt your intention of marriage for reasons such as a hasty wedding, few witnesses, no honeymoon (initially) and yes the lawyer's statement that you will have a wedding reception but did not have one.. You should have asked for your CAPS notes which would have helped you better understand the situation but what's done is done.

Make sure that your's and your spouse's story match... give them detailed understanding of "work commitments" . State facts as much as you can as they dont reason much with emotions or sentiments. Above all be confident, talk straight to their face, show that you really care for each other. Take evidence of communications that you guys are having pre and post marriage (emails, bills and whatever you can lay your hands on). The fact that she has visited you after marriage is a good sign...

This forum has a section where possible interview questions are listed but my guess is that they will question you more on your wedding and aftermath....
I hope things go well for you..do let us know how the interview goes..Best of luck

[pandapenda]

So, make sure you call your spouse in Canada and tell him/her of all the questions that were
asked in an interview [Important]. And also advise you spouse of any new material that have
been taken/requested from you i.e. Wedding Pictures or etc.

NOTE:-An Immigration Officer is trying to find out if your relationship is genuine. Moreover, most of the
interviews being held are of spouses of people getting married second time. Officers want to make sure that the
person sponsoring you is not doing it for money. If your relationship is genuine, then you should have no

problems getting thru the interview, as you already know all the information about your spouse. Still it is good
idea to prepare for an interview, just in case. AND TELL THE TRUTH AND DO NOT LIE.
Disclaimer: - Author assumes no liability, assumed or implied, if a person is not successful in an interview after
going through these questions. These questions provided are for reference only. Author is not a professional in
Immigration matters and thus cannot provide any other immigration related help. No professional help has been
received to prepare these questions. The author is not obliged to provide any further help, whatsoever, to anyone,
if need may arise.
Best of luck on your Interview.
