Hello everyone,
I need some inputs here, I am planning to get a driving licence from India. Now if I want to apply for International driving licence will i have to wait till i get my visa and then apply for International driving licnce. Secondly after i happen to reach Canada will I have to give any further driving test or the international licence issued to me from India itself is enuf.

Regards.

Hi

U will get the international license in a day or two after u apply. U just need to show them the visa. This license is valid for one year in canada and u need not give any test there. However, if u want a canadian license ( which u should), u need to surrender your indian license and give their driving test and exam and u will get that. It also depends upon which state u go to. e.g. alberta gives u an ealry license than ontario

Thank you very much strange4ever. I am humbled with your kind words. I am lucky that my wife was able to do that for us. She was very persistent and kept saying that we should write to the CIO and request re-evaluation. This was despite the fact that even immigration lawyers said that they cannot gurantee anything and there is no process by law to challenge the CIO decision. But Here she goes... We drafted a long email and requested revisit to our case. And Wallah.... I recieve an email asking me to send some more supporting documents which we did. and roughly a month later, I get a sound on my blackberry and thats a new mail. I open it and there it was "P.E.R" ...What a feeling. ...See how I got a pleasan recollection of some great memories. Thanks buddy once again and wish you all the best for your process.

Your wife is your faith buddy and I'm really happy for both of you guys. Is a chilling story my friend and I'm glad it turned out with a beautiful end!

Wishing you all the best with your future projects and thank you for your kind wishes !
U are my hero bro... thumbs up to you guys!
God bless.

God bless Our beutiful Queen Ladies

Did anyone with an NER got their fee refund in MI3. I guess 'NO'. If there is a 'YES', please speak up.

In MI2, fee was refunded for applicants who got a NER but it was never refunded for an application which went into "In Process".

Hence, in MI3, CIO started using the "In Process" stage (on ecas status) during the eligibility review itself so they do not have to refund the fee even if an applicant receives an NER.

This is just my assumption and may not be true. What say?

Hi NKKD Hortons,

Your assumptions are pertinent , i know few people that received NER and CIC did not refund the money, nor the documents.

Hi Guys,

Anyone from London VO whose ecas changed to medicals received??

Another thing...I didnt send the medicals receipt along with rprf. Can this be a problem?

Thanks

 

[innovation]

Happy B'Day to Mrs.Innovation !

I think, we will get our MR next week only !

Hi Kghimire,

is this your intuition.. or based on any facts.. last day you said RKC , you and me are having a common fact (change in address), somewhere i feel you are right. not sure.

 

[amazing.27]

PLeasant day co-applicants! Hope you guys are ready to calm down a bit as weekend is approaching which means time to rest after a week of waiting for updates or progress of our applications ;D... Though on monday our exciting journey will resume.

Anyways, I need 2 cents from you guys specially those who have passed the background check stage. Few weeks ago we updated our status to married, surprisingly we got a response from our VO asking for updated forms of Generic form, Schedule 3 for hubby and as for me marriage cert, PCC and 3pcs passport photo(for medical)if not submitted previously;

My questions are:

x for the Schedule 3--- that's about JD and bit of Assets/Liabilities information. I don't think its the JD that I have to update right? Only the Assets/Liabilities part?

x 3pcs passport photo-- anyone here was asked? DO I need to submit eventhough I submitted 6pcs passport photo when we lodged our documents to the CIO.

Thank you guys!

You can get an international license but that will only be good for 3 months. After that you have to get a local Canadian driver's license. You don't need a visa to apply for an international license. Generally, you will have to take and pass a test in Canada to get a local license. But there are certain provinces that waive the test requirement if you obtain a certification from the land transportation office in your country of origin indicating 1) that you are a holder of a valid driver's license, 2) that you have been licensed for X number of years, 3) that you have never figured in any road accident, 4) etc.

If you are bound for Ontario, you can visit www.settlement.org for guidance. If not, you can look up the local settlement organization for the province you are targeting.
