Applications after 26/6 in any NOC CONNECT HERE TO GET THE STATUS

[Grasshopper]

This is a general question to all those who have received their PER sometime back and its been quite a few days ever since... "Does anyone plan to send a query to their respective visa offices regarding the status of their case?"

Please reply so that we who have got a weird reply from our VO have some clarity whether we r the exceptions or part of the rule.

Thanks

Regards

Dear +ve,

ND VO gave us a rude shock. Sending the whole bunch of documents again would be a nightmare for me.

Like You, I am also from the first lot of people getting PER (23rd Nov) and it’s been 52 days today. I have been checking my mails and eCAS couple of time a day expecting to get some news on my application.

I am also planning to send an enquiry to ND VO and lets hope they are now updated with the new rules and give us a favorable reply.

Since I am in Delhi, I was wondering if there is some kind of Helpdesk or Enquiry Counter in Canada Embassy here, so that I can go personally and get things clarified.

In the mean time, I would also advise everybody to start preparing a complete set of documents, so that we can submit them to VO in the worst case if we really had to.

The only thing I am worried about is the documents which we submitted in original.

1. IELTS scorecard, I am sure we can’t get a duplicate copy of this.
2. Original Letter of references from past employers. It was a pain to arrange them all. Getting them again is not at all possible for me.
3. Transcripts, I am lucky here. One of my friend advised me to get 2 copies from my university. I listened to him and have 1 spare copy now.
4. Birth Certificate, I don’t know why :'( but I submitted the original and I don’t have another copy of it.
5. PCC, I submitted the original, it was a harassment to get it earlier.

Regards,
Grasshopper

I dropped them an email but not expecting any meaningful reply (if a reply at all).

Hi people,

Ok, I've done a bit more tidying on the spreadsheet. Rather than deleting inactive users we now have an inactive users tab. So basically rather than faffing about marking people in red and then waiting - I am simply moving anyone who hasn't posted on the thread for over a month onto the inactive users tab. If they then return to the thread it is only a few seconds to copy them back over to the live tracking sheet.

I will try to do this once per week, and have done applications received up until the end of September. I have also added the date the user last posted on our thread on the inactive users tab.

Hopefully this will keep our spreadsheet as live and accurate as reasonably possible, whilst at the same time ensuring nobody's details are deleted.

So if you see your name missing it will be on the inactive users tab. Simply post here and we will transfer it back on request

Best wishes.
Wayne.

Congratulations made711, I say, your PER is the sweetest for me coz you gave us hope....Your PER has somehow pulled out the dagger in our chest..

Another day has passed and CIO employees went home already. As long as I dont receive a NER even without PER upto this date Ill try to be at peace.

BTW made711 may I know if you contacted them thru email to inquire about your status? if you did, how often?

I've contacted them only once. and they said that our submission is under review...

@ johnyusa Thanks a lot... Kind of blue, what can I say, I'm Miles Davis fan

@ ash ali Cheers!

Without estatus, we are just in dark now.Copy of my letter is as below.When everybody will make quary, I believe, must we will get a pathway for further processing.
If any more suggession regarding this matter,please write.

Hi,

So if all FSW1 applicants follow your advice and contact their visa offices this will generate over 5000 extra queries across the visa offices. I fail to see how this will speed anything up?

Personally my advice is to NOT contact the visa office until there is cause for concern - i.e. the timescales slip way beyond that which is expected before hearing from them. Since nobody has heard from visa office yet I don't think anyone really has cause for concern at this stage.

Every minute spent answering "what is happening to my application?" queries after 5 mins is a minute not spent processing our applications.

Wayne.

I agree with Wayne about this. There is absolutely no point in all of us contacting our VOs simultaneously and distracting them from what they should be doing, ie; processing our applications. On the other hand, if this starts to look like clear miscommunication between the CIO and VOs as to how to deal with post June 26th applicants, then only the people who received their PERs in Nov should contact the VOs. We have some 20 odd members on our forum of which 9 belong to ND VO. If there is a problem just these people sending in enquiries should be sufficient to get the VO's attention. What do the other members think?

Hi Wayne,

You are correct, but only concern here is that Incase (I know this is a rare possiblity), we need to submit all documents again, we should not be exceeding the 120 Days timeline. I am already done 52 days.

Grasshopper.

Apart from what is right and what is wrong, this is the game:
- If no one contacts the VO, no processing delay, but we'll all stay in the darkness (which is OK since we are quite sure that we are safe, and it's just a matter of time). This is the base scenario.
- If one contacts the VO and nobody else does, he/she might get a response that calms his/her anxiety, while that will cause slight delay in the processing of all applicants, So he/she makes a gain at the expense of everyone else.
- If everybody contact the VO, most probably they will all get very late and meaningless responses, with processing delay due to the large number of enquiries. Everyone loses.
Clearly, for the public good, everyone shall refrain from contacting the VO, however, each of us will think he can benefit a little bit more by "cheating" while everyone else "complying". So everyone will cheat and we'll all end worse off (
This is the Prisoners' Dilemma, one of the most studies problems in Game Theory.
The bottom line is, no matter how much we advice people not to contact the VO, each one has enough incentive to do and he/she will do.
