NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

good luck..the worst thing that could happen from submitting a visitor visa application is rejection...but NDVO is unpredictable so unless you try you will never know...

Exactly.. one never know i may be in those 1% other than those 99% people who get rejected for TRV.

Okay the mail which my wife received for PPR says that you will find attached application number bar code and UCI bar code which has to be scanned and printed on every future communications to the NDVO, but i didnt receive any such attachment which i can print off.
all i could see was bar code printed on PPR sheet, which cannot be copied.

hi SN0206,

I called the MP today to find out about whether I should send the passport or not. They said if the letter does not indicate about the passport dont send but is there a harm in sending the passport now? Also she said 80% of the cases it takes 12months to get the visa after the file is transferred. Is this true?

Thank you soo much SN0206. I will email the MP now regarding this.

Sadly!! it is true. Because the MP is giving you an answer based on CIC processing timeline posted on their websites.

There is no harm in sending your passport now...if your spouse do not require to travel outside of the country. IMHO...my 2 cents say...mail your passport..but its just my opinion. If your spouse travels frequently out of the country..do not send it in..until you receive..
either proper PPR or some sort of clarification from New Delhi Visa Section

Because its a computer generated letter and probably received via email. I suggest you make several copies..(4-5) and cut out the bar and glue it on to the documents you need to mail. Hope this resolve your issue.
This is exactly what my wife did

This is the main reason (People applying for TRV) that CHC-ND request Passport early on even before the process starts. So that you have no option but to wait.

The only chance of success for TRV is for applicants who have some travel history on their Passport to some countries from Europe, NorthAmerica or Asia

If you never traveled out of India...chances are..u are not getting any. Unless you have a very valid reason...
Attending a Seminar...,..you have a proper invitation.
Attending or giving training...a proper invitation from an employer and the list continues.
It is very rare...someone with no travel history...and no proper business to attend in Canada receives a TRV from ND

Yup, I wanted to apply for TRV for my wife as well, called CIC and talked to them directly. The lady told me not to apply as it will be rejected

Good news!! Got a request to deposit the passport immediately so that the landing in Canada can be before the medicals expire. The same passport was given to us after the interview and we were confused, and disappointed. I guess yesterday was a good day for us. Good Luck to all who are waiting.

Senior members...
I can see the Application processing timeline on CIC website..which has been quarterly updated on October 30, 2013 (cases between October 1, 2012 to September 30, 2013)
Is there a link anywhere to find/research on previous quarterly updates from CHC-ND...in the spousal category?
Or maybe New Delhi applicants can share the previous timelines which they have seen posted on CIC-website back in 2011-2012-2013
I remember that back in 2009 last quarterly update (Oct 2009)...it was taking 57 days in CPC-M and 6 months in CHC-ND to process
But majority of the applicants...who had no issues (no missing documents, PCC, Meds Complete, proper records, no mistakes in application) received their visas in around 2-3 month period...once the initial AOR with PPR was received in mail. ...the good ol' days... Cry Sighs

Would be nice to see the previous quarterly updates...if you remember any for year 2010-2011-2012-2013
Please share if you have any info on this matter. thanks

My sister has applied in back in November-2012 and got the visa in April 2013. I guess this year deal to the strike the application process has been delayed. They are still processing June which means for the November applicants maybe will get the visas by June of 2013 but I think it also depends on when the medicals expire. They try to issue visas before the medicals expire. I see that NDVO is moving little quicker now.
