NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[aroundwrd99]

I heard from Sahil. His interview lasted more than an hour. Interviewer was rude from the beginning to almost till the end. From Sahil's description of his interview, I cannot conclude if he would get his visa or not. Sahil thinks that the very personal questions (I think they were way too personal and would question the need for those questions) and the whole rudeness from the beginning till the end was an act to make him crumble and if his relationship was not genuine then to make him to admit. I would rather not go into personal questions but non personal ones were - his past relationships; his 'significant other' past relationships; both of their family and educational background; reason for the sponsor not able to attend the interview with the sponsored; and the timelines of relationship. Visa officer gave his passport back (his medicals expired). My question is how long will it take for the visa officer to let him know if his visa has been approved or not?

How do you know?

He should share some experience..

I talked to him after his interview. Maybe he will share his experiences some day but not now since he is upset about the waiting and whole interview process.

I am failing to understand about rudeness attitude towards applicants, are we looking like criminals/terrorists to them, if Indian embassy officer in Canada talked to local Canadian in rude manner, they will definitely sue them, they will file a complaint against officer in their court using words like mental trauma, character assassination, feel-like-suicide stuff, they should not talk to us with this attitude.

ya my son is automatically canadian citizen....but if they issue me visa then its easy for my
son...otherwise its 12 to 18 months procedure....
as same as our procedure...

If your son is already a Canadian Citizen, he does not need a visa to enter Canada. Which passport does your son have Canadian or Indian?

The answer is easy... Just tell the truth, what are your feelings about it. There is no pre-made answer to those questions, you just have to be honest and talk from your heart. This is what they are looking for. If you felt in love we someone having an age gap and educational gap you should be able to tell why to the visa officer, this is what they are expecting.

Guys, agreed - even during our interview the VO was unbelievably rude. (It's as if they shove a broom/stick up their rear prior to interviewing... )

Can't understand why they can't just be humane about interviewing those who are already suffering being apart from their SO...

Hello hello awesome people,

I'm part of the 2012 batch and still waiting for the processing to complete.

Anyways, I have a feeling that my/our wait is coming to an end very soon - so now I need help from the lucky 2013 folks who have already received their visa and completed the journey across the "saat samunder" (lol).

Initially the plan was for me to accompany my SO on the journey to Canada but I might not be able to do so anymore due to work commitments, so can anyone draft an all encompassing checklist/guide that I can share with my SO to thoroughly prepare her for the journey. (And yes, I agree there are posts that cover these individually but if it resides in one post or thread, it would be extremely helpful to everyone including myself.)

I am thinking all things to do and be done before leaving India, experience at the airport (it'll be pearson in my case and the reason for mentioning it is because apparently SIN card number is issued only at pearson during landing - can anyone else confirm this?) - and what else needs to be done after landing/leaving the airport. SIN card, health card, etc.?

Also - to all those who received their package containing PP with the (not so) shiny visa - what items were included? (PP? Landing paper - multiple copies or single copy? Etc.)

Really appreciate it folks - congrats to all those who have completed this process and best of luck to those who in the midst of it.

Thanks,

allizwell
