Hi Steaky, I appreciate your sense of humour. The second question about the timeline from New Delhi is for my elderlyparents in law residing at the moment in India. Sense of humour is a capacity to laugh at oneself. Well, I am able to laugh at my earlier question and thanks for providing...

I have one more question. Any idea as to how long it takes to sponsor parents from India. Is it the same as for Pakistan which is about 7 years?

Thanks Leon. Yes, that puts things in perspective.

PMM, one more question to you regarding my son's PR obligation. In view of the fact that he is pursuing his Phd in U.S. and does have the intention of settling down in Canada after his graduation, is there any provision at all for him to be granted extension of his PR status though he has not...

Contact an immigration attorney in confidence.Only he will be able to advise you on the intricacies and a public forum like this may not be able to advise you much,I am afraid.

Hi Balaji, It is rather surprising.When we applied for immigration to the CHC,N.Delhi,of course,through our agent,we were not asked to provide any sealed transcripts from the university.I thought this will be so only in the case of applying for higher education to one of the universities...
