FSW 2013 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

[Adrenalineforu]

But how does NDVO send the passport once its visa stamping is done? Is it through VFS?
Anybody has any information related to this.

If you chose VFS, yes, it is a to-and-fro service. Not sure about other options though.

I thought all the passports from US and Canadian embassy in India are delivered to candidate through VFS by default. Need to be double checked though.

If you chose VFS, yes, it is a to-and-fro service. Not sure about other options though.

 

[udhnis]

Thanks Udhnis.
Have you gone through your medical yet. How are you paying your RPRF (In CAD or Indian Rupees)? Next thing will be selecting a courier for sending the documents and Passport. I am thinking about calling VSF to see what services they provide regarding this.

ps_gocan, yes i am done with medicals, RPRF i took DD in INR, I send every thing togather through BLUE DART.

Admins,
Sorry for the delay, Passport along with DD and medicals send to NDVO on 2nd Dec, Please update my status in Spreadsheet

Udhnis,
Great. Hope you get your passport back soon with the maple leaf stamped on it.

Just wondering, if you made the DD on that day current exchange rate of 490CAD or 31,400INR listed on the website:
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/visas/fees-frais.aspx?lang=eng

I think both should be acceptable.

ps_gocan, yes i am done with medicals, RPRF i took DD in INR, I send every thing togather through BLUE DART.

Admins,
Sorry for the delay, Passport along with DD and medicals send to NDVO on 2nd Dec, Please update my status in Spreadsheet

Fellow LVO Applicant I guess there is a very tiny +ve news I can infer from their response to my CSE sent on 26th of nov. I believe work has started pretty slowly on FSW2013 application in my opinion.


The response is pretty generic. However, you may see the highlighted portion of their response where my inference that skeletal work has started on FSW2013 applications was derived.


This was the CSE I raised:


Enquiry: APPLICATION UPDATE AND ENQUIRY

1.) Acknowledgement of receipt of my application from CIC.

2.) Additional documents sent (Two police certificates/clearances). I sent two required police certificates at different times to the London Office by mail.I would appreciate a confirmation that they have been received and added to my file.

3.) Processing of my May 2013 FSW Application. Please, I will also appreciate that you give an indication about when I can expect to hear from you concerning the processing of my May 2013 Federal Skilled Worker Application. Its already six months since my application was received at the CIC Nova Skotia but I am yet to see any processing of my application on the online status check. We are aware that the Minister said May 2013 Federal Skilled Workers(FSW) application processing will be completed in few months rather than few years it normally take previous streams before now. I am also aware that some other visa offices have processed the same May 2013 stream to completion already. I will appreciate your information on this enquiry.


Their generic response to my CSE with inference point highlighted:


Dear Madam / Sir,

Regarding: E.....

This is in response to your enquiry.

Your application is in process or waiting to be reviewed by an immigration officer. No further action is required by you at this time.

Our office will contact the applicant when a decision has been made or if further information is required. Immigration decisions and information requests are sent by post or email to the addresses provided in the application.


We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.

Yours sincerely,

Client Service Unit (VCM)

Immigration and Medical Services Division | Direction de l'immigration et des services médicaux
Canadian High Commission | Haut-commissariat du Canada
38 Grosvenor Street

Hi, I also got an email from LVO regarding an enquiry I made about my application and its not kind of generic or copy and paste like yours and it appears to have come directly from my visa officer.

Thanks for Your Wishes, Yes both are acceptable, but INR DD is hazel free and not time consuming

yaa, I am still wondering why it took so long ??? and what will be the next update ???
