Being a devil's advocate here, but I have seen people including their relatives' children in the file and bring them over, so its not entirely unfair, but the timing, right at the end of processing surely is. They could ask for it while submission or mid way so it does not delay, but really do...

If you are sure you have passed the medicals, there is good chance that you would get the visa before they expire. Same thing happened with my parents and they picked visa from ND consulate in person 2 days before medical/visa expiry. Get the bags ready and be ready to reach Canada in a rush if...

My aunt had a medical issue for which they asked for additional detailed tests and some treatment too and they were ask to re test...not sure of how serious the issue is in your case, but they do have a procedure for people who do not pass the test.

Totally agree. If there is any doubt, read comments on online news sites on any immigration story in Canada. People are almost swearing at those who are talking about bringing parents permanently, totally unfair for a country made up of immigrants. In the end, do not expect fairness in terms of...

Finally, I have some good news to share. This is what happened in last 3 days. - My parents' medicals expire on Aug 21 (Wednesday) - They received a call on Friday afternoon that ur visa is ready, pick it up on Monday if you can make it to Canada by Wednesday or go through medical checks...

Great news that they are still issuing some visas. Happy for you, though I wonder why they are messing up my case so badly. Just 7 days remaining for medicals to expire and no news.

Mine expires in 13 days. As per GCMS notes, everything is complete on our file. I believe they will let it expire for us at least and ask us to re-do.

I share your thoughts as well. If they asked me today, do you want your parents' passports back today without PR, I would say yes please. They had a 3 year tourist visa on those passports, which expired while sitting in some files under a pile. I might just have them over on super visa. I think...

Not through VFS, my parents submitted directly to CHC ND but had otherwise same case as urs. Waiting for 10 months since submission.

My MP is probably worse of all. He sent wrong file number in first email when there was no strike, got reply on that one but that was not mine ofcourse. Asked him to re-sent, that was 2 months back, and still no replies. Whenever I follow up they say its due to strike and they will tell me when...

Can't agree more. Its almost an arrogance on their part assuming people who apply for canadian people would not be traveling elsewhere in the meantime. Some people go to other countries and in my case my parents had a Canadian tourist visa, but that expired while they held the passport. 9 months...

havn't tried a call but did send panic emails with urgent subject. The MP came back that due to strike process is slow. Latest GCMS notes show no movement recently. Assessment section shows this: Eligibility : Passed Criminality: Passed Medical: Passed Final: Passed

From what I know (my case as well) the decision made status is happening at Ottawa as they are happy with your file. They change status, recommend visa and transfer file to ND who then requests the passports. New Delhi is where all the delays are, they should ask you passport soon, but don't...

Did all your processing happen in Ottawa and passports submitted to ND?

As the other person suggested it takes almost a year for ND to get back. I hope you are not expecting there to be a 'rule' for ND consulate because there is non. Some people get it back in 6 months others 1 year almost. I also know people who had to do medicals again as they expire while waiting...

Couple of people in same city as my parents got visa about 1 month before expiry of their passports, though their case was in ND for most part. That is the only hope that there is still bit of time. I am waiting on MP query and GCMS, might give some perspective.

They gave option between VFS or to ND direct, my parents chose ND direct against my advise, don't know if that had any impact though.

Not quite lucky.. Maybe I am the "Choosen one". I thought I was lucky as well to have everything done through Ottawa. I am Oct 2007 applicant with Decision made status since January 2013. Have no idea why ND is not sending back the passports. I see on GCMS notes that Ottawa issued visa in Oct...
