Dear Seniors / Mr. Qorax.

Please suggest me as I have sent my PPs on 25th Dec and delivered on 27th Dec at LVO.

How long do you think it will take to get our PPs back with visas ?

Secondly, my Ecase still shows in process not even changed to Med recvd ?
I have sent my renewed PP only not the old one which was given on application earlier, will this be a problem for them to issue visa ?

Lastly, is Feb/March is good time to land with fmaily and kid of age 8 ?

Thanks in advance.

I believe you must have sent your old passport as well. Seniors please advice....

It is better to land either in end of march or beginning of april. But ideal time is May. I cannot wait until may as my medical is expiring in beginning of May 2012.

thank you sir qorax. i am in huge relax with your comment.
please advice, if i get MR (hopefully yes), do i need to show medical report to DMP?

regards,
Hi,

While visiting the DMP for ur meds it's wise to disclose any previous ailments alongwith copies of it's therapy/medication/treatment. I had high BP & Cholesterol, used to take meds, -- and had informed that to my DMP... it didn't make any difference to my med report... I got my visa within the timeframe.

Hi,

1. Usually it returns by 4-6 weeks in UAE. U could expect it by end of Jan or early Feb-2013.
2. Don't worry... e-Cas is known to be erratic.
3. Technically u should also have submitted ur 'old pps'* - stapled to the new booklet. However, few had successfully got their visas by sending only the new.
4. Anytime is 'good'#... winters do not hamper anything here. If we could brave the Middle Eastern 'summers' - so can we the North American winters.

Qorax
*Older pps need to be submitted if it was referred anytime during our application process.
#It's wise to 'land' asap upon receiving the visas, irrespective of the time of the yr. B'coz anything can happen by the time our meds expire.

Hi Cap,

I ve been shifted to Edmonton. I have a small doubt, I wanted to apply for my DL in Alberta but it requires a validation letter from RTA Dubai and legalization from uae Embassy in Ottawa. I have brought a 2 pages experience letter from RTA dubai dated 14th Oct, 2012. Is this the letter I need to sent to Ottawa along with my original DL n CAD 50 draft? In the letter it's showing an expiry date: 13-12-2012. I left Dubai n reached Canada on 24th Nov, 2012. will it be a problem? I mean the expiry date.

Need your suggestions in this regard.

Thanks.

Hi,

1. That's the one. Though last I knew - it was just one page.
2. Usually they accept it within a few days' expiry -- however much depends on the whims of the official at the desk. Thus, if they don't - u may revisit them after a few days - someone else might. Technically it's supposed to be valid on presentation.

Thanks a lot. Actually one page is experience letter-e certificate and the other page was last two years traffic fine history. I have sent both the pages, original DL and CAD 50 Draft to UAE Embassy-Ottawa. Hope it's gonna work.

I have one more query. I ve landed on 24th Nov n Immigration officer informed me that i'm gonna get my PR card within 6 weeks. So far no news. IO did a small mistake while writing my address. I have landed in Toronto and my address was Brock ave, instead of Brock he has written Brook but postal code and other things were OK and I think there is no brook ave in Toronto. will it be a problem? Do I need to inform anyone or Should I wait couple of weeks more?

Once again thanks a lot for your unconditional support.
