I am planning to travel end of March. How about your partner. is she traveling before that?Hey, when are you planning to travel? My partner who got the exemption approval based on extended family is in the same boat.
She is travelling soon based on the visitor visa. My only worry is if airlines or airport authority in India create any problems while boarding the flight.
And yes, I have seen cases where people have gotten their PR approval after getting in the country. So hoping for the best!
One of my friend's sister just got in Canada on the extended family exemption base. She got through easily. But as you said it all depends on the agent or the airlines. so fingers crossed.
good luck
