Based on responses on this forum, I learnt that you need to surrender Indian passport in order to receive the 6-month visa. Is that not true?

See the correction below: I am starting to think that, some of us, who didn't get test invite yet , our processing time is going to be over 12 months ;) Add 2 weeks atleast after test invite, and 6-8 weeks on average for oath. So unless, we all receive test invites in next 4-5 weeks, its a...

If you scroll back a page or 2, I have summarized three different options and timelines. But to answer your questions - 1) Dont think so. Even if it does affect (timeline-wise), you dont have a choice as getting OCI now is taking a risk if you have to travel. Even if it takes more time for OCI...

There is a OCI thread here - https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oci-process.254662/

You have two options - 1) Either get a PCC 2) Wait until a time when the days spent in the last 4 yrs are less than 183 days.

Interesting typo considering we are living in a very cold country...:D

Hi, I have question regarding OCI re-issuance for minor. It was my understanding that OCI needs to re-issued for minors under 20, everytime they get a new passport. But I saw two authentic links where they mentioned that it is no longer the case - https://boi.gov.in/content/visa-requirement...

pretty ironic, isnt it? but in this case, seems like the right thing to me too. sitting on the old application may lead to further delays.

There are too many people waiting around your dates. As already observed and proven many times, a few weeks here and there has no bearing as the applications are not sequential. So although the delay is frustrating, I dont think you should be *concerned* at individual level.

If it makes you feel any better, I am one of the Oct applicants (experiencing the anguish) and I am asking you to relax. (because there is literally nothing else we can do). When I applied last October, I was confident of getting everything done before my home country trip this Oct. Now surely...

thats not what i asked. e.g I was in Canada before my PR, so I did not need PCC.

I would say your work permit starts when you get PGWP, and I would put that as the end of study permit (even though the actual expiry is beyond that).

Yes, forms are filled incorrectly as eligibility period is from 2013. also, were you in Canada before 2015? if not, you would need PCCs?

put in a 2nd GCMS application to inquire about the 1st GCMS application...:eek:

Oct applicant here, still no test invite in Winnipeg.

reaching late is a strict no, but on the other extreme, you dont need to sleep outside the building the earlier night... give a buffer time of 15-30 mins before the event....

3 is ok, noone would deny parents and daughter to the ceremony. if its more like 25 people, well that might be a little problem..

Even I think so. But everyone's aptitude, general curiosity level about things, reading, etc is different. So you cannot generalize that about everyone. Some people need to study.

"People are worried" is not a good enough reason for IRCC to allocate funding for expediting applications. Even if they do, things wont change significantly in a few days. As far as the MPs are concerned, they dont care as we'll all be getting citizenships before the next federal election. So...

Me too waiting for test invite. see signature for timeline.
