@ Manish.....
the statement you r giving on behalf of CHC ND, to me it seems to be very confusing....as far as I know abt CHC ND (as my wife is into immigration field) they have separate offices for Student visa, visitor visa and work permits (temporary visas). It has nothing to do with PR cases more than 30 visa officers are authorised for PR cases only and so far in the history of immigration CHC has never given such statements to any applicant. Every year student visas are issued, it is not a sudden case. CHC is planned accordingly. and this delay may be due to the rule change and heavy backlog...
But, if your relative has received smthing like that, pls mail me a scanned copy of the comment (as stated by u) at singh_gurdayal @ rediffmail.com.
Request to all the applicants, pls dont jump on to ur own assumed conclusions because the CHC has its own way of working and by our own assumptions we may misguide other waiting applicants which I think will create more confusions.
