the current system lacks that ability as some is automated and some is manual process. in fact tons of people get their passport back with visa stamped and the online status still reads Application received. rest assured that if you used a reliable courier and tracking shows they delivered the...

i agree its unacceptable for them to hold on to a passport for more than a month. however you don't need to send the passport until they ask you in a letter they are ready to issue the visa if you know you need the passport during that time. I understand she needs to write her exams but why...

Hey singh first off don’t get overly concerned. The officer won’t drill u like u see in those Bollywood movies. You can do the interview in ur native language if u are not comfortable in English. Secondly, they just want to hear it from you why you guys got married cause this is not a typical...

I live out west in alberta. Nova Scotia is a beautiful place and in fact the job market is just starting to heat up with the new gov't contract they got for shipyard and building new vessels ($25 billion contract). I am guessing you will be a Haligonians :) as most of the brown people live in...

the spring had a little bump over the weekend, i am sure you heard about it down east but its all gone. beautiful weather. wife is enjoying the long days, she was surprised when i told her in another month or so we will have sunlight past 9 and 10pm/ this weekend need to rake the yard, get...

Congratulations ND. so you all set? bags packed? tickets bought? where are you settling?

hey ashunandal. you got nothing to worry about. this is very common in India apparently, eg people with Kaurs and Singhs. CIC has a policy to address this, its called Single Name policy. what that means is that for your PR you cannot have a blank last name, so CIC will make "Rahul Kumar" as your...

This link has all the processing times, by type and region. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/index.asp I think processing for other family members aside spouse or parents/grandparents is about 60 months

Re: Home alone I'm a die hard oiler too. we're building a good team. As for the medicals they are good for a year. Don't stress too much, ur wife has a very high chance of getting the visa. Spousal sponsorship has the highest success rate. If work permits take a week or 2 off and go down...

Re: Home alone April 2? Ouch she did her medicals 6 months before you actually applied? She would need to redo them, however she needs to wait for the letter from ND advising her to redo it as the medical practitioner won't redo medicals without that letter (assuming she has already sent her...

hey MD. things are good. I need work life balance...need to keep the wife happy...lol. before it didn;t matter, so trying to figure out how to leave work at work and not to work from home while watching hockey. lol how are things with u? how is ur other half liking it? is he working? where?

congrats. your husband's previous work permit helped you guys quite a bit as he is categorized as "economic immigrants" I've read it before people with previous work permit history (2 years or more) can get PR visa somewhat faster than non economic immigrants...good to see real example of that...

hey abad you got nothing to worry about. since your relationship didn;t had any past history and you got married so suddenly CIC wants to rule out this marriage isn't for convenience. take your communication proofs like phone records, important email conversations and any gift receipts. you...

don't think it that way. just go by the original processing time of 6 months from when ND gets its application. it will help ease the frustration and anxiety. 92% of spouse/partners cases get visas issued as per NDs Stats/performance. so u got nothing to worry about.

ksunny, thats a good guess. unfortunately, its the gov't so its the other way around. Fed gov't fiscal year is from april to march. this is their last quarter and this is where they make up for overall quota as well as individual visa offices targerts. year after year its Q4 where you start...

hey abad don't worry about it. these are generic emails. the visa officer doesn't review the applications until all the documents and obligations, like background check, have been completed. also consider yourself lucky for getting 2 responses back within 2 months span typically thats rare as...

it depends on what you wrote down as your mailing address. if you recall on the application they ask for permanent address and the current mailing address, if the latter is address in india than they will mail the letter there unless in the application you checked off communication via email...

@ singh the genius, this is the dumbest thing i've ever heard. you realize there is a reason why they ask for photocopy of your passport as part of the application? your passport number gives them the entire background on how many you had and where you have traveled, hence the background check...

Wow bold and red. As per the new process implemented last summer, in majority of the cases ND will ask for the passport typically within 30 days of them receiving your file from cpc-m. the first generic letter you get from nd asking to pay the fees, send in your police clearance, and...

don't stress too much about it. let it be, it will come through. just an FYI 6 months processing is from the time file is transferred to ND (may 24th as per ur time line), you can contact your MP at end of march but you will get a generic response back that its pending an initial review from the...
