    Hey Kimi, In my opinion, you're more likely to face administrative hassles in Option 1 as compared to Option 2. My recommendation would be Option 2, as long as you have a couple of months for completing your landing in Canada. You might find the link below useful...

    Hey buddy, I think Option 2 is the only possibility. I do not think you will have any problem having your passport stamped from other countries before landing in Canada. In my understanding, Option 1 will not work as once landing is completed travel is restricted to within Canada until the...

    @jilaniroy, Could you please share your timeline and stream? I am in CEC (AOR May 10) with my wife as dependent and my medical is also under review for a week now. I believe the delay could be from my wife's medical that was carried out in India in November - may be its taking more time for...

    Hi Joshjo, In my view, as you have already passed the medicals in your PNP application so CIC has not even bothered to update it for your CEC application. So in my humble opinion, all is working fine for your application. Going by the usual timing, expect PPR in about 4 months from AOR for...

    Hi Ammar, other than the CSE forum, I used the below mentioned email address for reaching out to CIC for inquiring about my visa office. CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca BTW, what is your category? For CEC with dependents, usually the processing time is 4 months from AOR. I believe FSW-O is being...
