Hi folks, I consider myself a good user of the search function but I could not find exactly what I was looking for. My wife just got back her passport with counterfoil and COPR. What else does she need to enter Canada? Thanks a lot.

For those of you waiting on receiving their passport back from NDVO, here is my timeline: Passport submitted at VFS Pune: Oct 30th 2018 Passport received by NDVO: Oct 31st 2018 GCKey updated to DM: Nov 15th 2018 Passport couriered status changed: Nov 15th 2018 Hope this helps in understanding...

Thank you for your reply. It's good to know that your VFS office said 15-20 days (including weekends?). You are absolutely right in that the number of PPRs as of late has been surprisingly high. I have been watching this forum for over a year and this is quite an unusual volume for NDVO.

Damn, that is quite the range. I guess I shouldn't complain. Just a few more days... Thanks Singleman. Yea, Diwali ended up coming in the middle. Hopefully we hear something soon.

Hi guys, does anyone have any idea about how long NDVO is taking to return passports as of late? We submitted on Oct 30th at VFS Pune. Tracking number said it reached NDVO on Oct 31st. The guy at the VFS said that it would take 10 working days. Today is the 10th working day and we don't have...

I don't know the answer. I really hope someone does and replies to you. Please stay strong sir/madam. I know it can be difficult. =(

Just got PPR. =) Feb 22nd 2018 applicant.

Just got PPR. =) Feb 22nd 2018 applicant.

Why do you say that? We seem to have received at least some of our updates on a Sunday afternoon EST.

Sir/madam, hats off to you. I do not know how you have managed to stay sane.

How long is NDVO taking from DM to PPR nowadays? Just got ECAS DM and Pre-Arrival email on GCKey today. GCkey status itself has not changed from "We are processing your application, blah blah blah" February 23rd applicant. Rest in signature. Thanks.

Good news! February 23rd applicant ECAS = DM Received Pre-Arrival on GCKey GCkey status itself has not changed from "We are processing your application, blah blah blah" Congrats to all the other Feb and March folks with updates too.

Thank you KBH and singleman. Appreciate your replies. By the way, will my visitor visa application in any way delay my PR application?

Hi folks, I have a PR application under process for my spouse at the New Delhi Visa Office (NDVO) for about 4 months now. We recently applied for a Visitor Visa (TRV) for her and got rejected. Do we need to take any action now? I ask because, in the the original PR application, we had stated...

Thanks KBH!

Hi folks, We are applying for my wife's Visitor Visa while we wait for her PR application to processed. My question is: is it possible to reuse our medical test results from the PR application for the Visitor visa application? A helpful member of this site told us that we can use the receipt...

Thanks for the details Mike. I will make sure that my Cover Letter explains it well. I have two more questions for you, if you don't mind: 1) Are there any specific "purpose of visit" that you recommend that I put down? (My wife literally just wants to stay with me and spend time...

Hi Ayat, that is disheartening to hear. Perhaps it is these "desperate" circumstances that are leading CIC to believe in higher chance of the visitor overstaying illegally? Thank you canuk_in_uk for your reply. Thanks mike; it gives me some hope. What were these documents?

Hi folks, Why is it not that common to see people applying for visitor visas while their main PR application is being processed? It seems like a no-brainer to me, unless of course, there are some caveats to it. Also, can we simply reuse the medical results from the PR application for the...

Akkishar, the key thing is here is the 2nd line you see on ECAS: "We started processing your application on May 22, 2018." This is basically AOR2 and means NDVO has started working on your file. Now you simply have to wait. Expect silence for at least 2 months. Total process till PPR will be...
