Hi,

I sent the following mail to visa office

I had applied for Canada PR Application under "2173 - Software Engineers" category for
FSWP program and I have got my visa.

Please find my details below:

Last name: XX
First name: XX
UCI: XX
Application : XX
Date of Birth: XX
Country of Birth: XX
Visa Date of Issue: 09/07/2015
Visa Expiry Date: 27/04/2016

I am 14 weeks pregnant and my Delivery Due is by May 2016.
It will be difficult to land before my delivery(May 2016) as
I had repeated miscarriages earlier but my visa expires on
April 2016.
Kindly suggest me how to proceed further. I am attaching my
medical reports for your reference.

I got the following reply from visa office

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is in response to your recent email enquiry to the
Immigration Section of the Canadian High Commission in New
Delhi.

If you or a family member have modified personal information
after the issuance of a visa, including if you have obtained
a new passport, you must request that a new visa and
Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) be issued. This
includes if you have married or have a newborn child who was
not included on your application at visa issuance.

If you do not request to include your spouse or child(ren)
on your application BEFORE you land in Canada, you WILL NOT
be able to sponsor them to Canada in the future. The newly
added family member must meet the requirements and undergo
medical and background examinations EVEN IF they are not
accompanying the principal applicant to Canada.

Do not attempt to travel on your visa and COPR until the
modifications have been made or you may not be permitted
entry at the Port of Entry in Canada.

You are required to submit:

- any documentary evidence of the modification;
- the original passports with visas for yourself (and all
dependants);
- the Confirmation of Permanent Residence forms for yourself
(and dependants);
- an updated or new passport with the new information for
those people with modified information; and
- There is a processing fee associated with this service,
please see the CIC website for fees and payment
instructions
- Passport size photographs for yourself and each dependant


Please note that you are required to submit the following
documents in order to add your child to your application:

- a letter explaining how your family composition has
changed and requesting that your child be added to your
application
- processing fee for the child (if accompanying you to
Canada)
- updated IMM0008 Generic Application Form for
yourself with inclusion of child to be added
- updated IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form
for yourself and your spouse to include added child
- notarized copy of the child’s birth certificate
- copy of your child’s valid passport(s) [both valid and
expired]
- four recent passport-size photographs of your child
according to the specifications
- As you have applied in an Economic Class category,
you must also take into account that the amount of money
that you need to have to support your family is determined
by the size of your family and the cost of living in Canada.
Therefore, as your family size has increased, you must
increase the amount of settlement funds required to
immigrate to Canada. For more information go to: cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp.

Copies of the original documents with original certified
translations into English or French are required.
The required forms can be downloaded at: cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/index.asp.


Passport-sized photographs must meet these specifications:
cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/photospecs.asp.


Information about the fees that must be paid can be found
here: cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp.

(Please note that this fees must be paid online at the CIC
website and a copy of the fee receipt should be submitted to
this office. Credit Card payment forms are NOT
accepted in this office.)

Your child will need to undergo a medical examination. We
will send you the appropriate form and instructions after
receiving the documents listed above.

- If you do not request to include your
child(ren) on your application, you WILL NOT be able to
sponsor them to Canada in the future. The newly added family
member must meet the requirements and undergo medical and
background examinations EVEN IF they are not accompanying
the principal applicant to Canada.

Important: Note that if your child was born in Canada, then
the child is a Canadian citizen. If that is the case, you do
not need to add the child to your application, and no
medical examination or fee is required. You must, however,
send us a copy of the child’s birth certificate.

Our office generally requires one week to process requests
for visa re-issuance. However, if you are adding an
additional family member then the processing time will take
longer as the added family member will need to be examined
and meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

We trust that this information will be of assistance.

Immigration Section/ Section de l’immigration
High Commission of Canada/ Haut-Commissariat du Canada

Can you please help me in understanding whether it is relevant to the query which i raised to visa office.
Can i treat this mail as a confirmation for re-issuance of visa after my delivery?
Can i treat this mail and can wait to do my first landing after my delivery and after adding new born to my application?

Dear ShivPreet,

I got the same reply to my query, however, my query was different since we have all got visa but my son's passport expiry was very close to our date of flying. (Passport was due to expire in May 2016, we plan to fly in March 2016) so airline and Indian customs official would have disallowed us to fly. Based on this reply, we got his passport renewed and have sent for re-stamping (I am yet to get all passports and COPRs back, because of Xmas break at VFS and NDVO)

About your case, I understand the following.

You must land in Canada before your visa expires. If possible please deliver a baby there.

As if you don't do, then

1) your visa expires, which they will never renew as you had one years time after medicals to land

2) if your baby is delivered here before the expiry of Visa, then he was never there in your preliminary application, so all medicals etc will have to be done for the baby and you + spouse as medicals are valid only for a year, by that time your visa would expire and you will never be able to land.

3) if your baby is delivered, and you travel with your spouse and make it before landing date then you cant add your new born to the file FOREVER.

so it is in your best interest and in the interest of new baby to land there before delivery.

I am sorry to be so pessimist, but you should take first possible flight to Canada.

These are best of my understanding, I stand open to correction by seniors.

God bless you.

Dear friends,

I have applied for FSW2014 in first week of Dec 2014 and everything was fine until my file moved to Colombo office. I got PER and acknowledgement email in March 2015 and after that I haven't heard anything.

I sent couple of follow up email to CVO and got following email today:

This refers to your application for admission to Canada.

In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following:

New IELTS test results for you and your spouse from a different testing
centre other than the original testing site, IN855, is required once
applied; please provide the name of the location/site and the date of the
new IELTS testing schedule.
You and your spouse can choose to do the new IELTS test either from the IDP
IELTS Australia testing Centre or from the British Council testing Centre,
any of the centres. Only results from a new test site will be accepted.
This must be received at this office by: 2016/01/30.

Failure to submit the above within that time period could result in the
of your application. Please quote our complete file number on your
correspondence and address your correspondence to the High Commission at the
address indicated below.

I am still wondering why new IELTS test when it's valid for 2 years and I took my test in Oct 2014? Can anyone please let me know what should be my response?

Hi,

There are many other PR applicants including me, who got similar mails from Colombo Visa office demanding to retake the IELTS exam from Brithish Council as they have seems rejected our IELTS results from IDP. We are unfortunate, as I think there would be many of the successful PR applicants whose IDP IELTS results would have got accepted by Visa Offices like NDVO,WVO and others.

Hi cchavis, have you took IELTS exam from Bristish Council and resubmitted the marksheet to CVO?

I got 30 Jan 2016 as deadline. Is it to share the details when I will be taking the exam or I have to appear in the exam before 30 Jan 2016? There is no exemption to this requirement?

Having seen at least three persons reporting ielts retake instructions, I guess something was wrong with a particular ielts test site. Maybe the examiners messed up wmor whatever.


Nothing to do, please retake exam as suggested.
