First off, an agent can't speed up anything for you, they can simply offer you advice. In this case, it's a good one. He/She is right by telling you to wait. You should hold off on sending anything unless & until the NDVO requests it themselves. Doing otherwise can complicate matters.

Hi all, Just got my GCMS notes for my wife's application back today. These are some status updates: Update Date: 2013/03/26 Security: Not started Criminality: Not Started Medical: Passed Update Date: 2013/07/15 Eligibility: In Progress (Recommend Passed) Notes: *Interview waiver recommended*...

And Bhavikpatel, don't criticize people for venting their frustration just cause you don't like to hear what they have to say. People are facing some very tough situations and difficult times due to this strike and the least you could do is offer some respect & consolation. This is an...

Believe me, I am just as frustrated with the lack of compassion for sponsors and their spouses from both sides. But the reality is that this is simply the hearing phase. The actual decision won't be taken until at least a week from now. So I urge you to sit tight and be more patient (as...

Guys let's get our facts clear. A person having OCI and cdn citizenship can stay in india for as long as he/she wishes, there are no time restrictions. A person having just cdn citizenship can obtain a vistor visa to india which is valid for 6 months. After this period, they need to extend/renew...

CAN_4VISAFAM I know you want to help, but unfortunately your case and the case of everyone else in this thread is verydifferent so it won't help anyone else much even if at all. Everyone here incl. myself has a straightforward spousal sponsorship case, not a student application. Those are two...

Can we all pls stay on topic! Pls try to contact local MP's to pressure the govt to come back to the table and re-nego the contract. Change to cdn dollar has nothing to do with the union's strike position and will not affect it's outcome.

Re: PLEASE HELP !!!! HOW DO I HANDLE THE GCMS QUERY..JUST COULD NOT FOLLOW ANYTHING Sallysander, Of course I completely get this response. You just sent them your information without adding a consent form for the applicant/your spouse. As advised, you must ask your spouse to print it, sign &...

As far as pressure to the govt is concerned, family sponsorship pales in comparison to the amount of money the govt generates from tourism/student visas. Currently govt is losing $300+ million as a results of student/tourist visa backlogs, not sure if we can sustain that. Hopefully they will be...

Hi folks, I'm sorry to break some very bad news for all of us waiting for our spouses and their passports/visas... if you thought these delays were bad, it gets worse. Effective Monday, July 29th PAFSO has threatened to cancel ALL services in 15 largest visa centres abroad. They are doing this...

Guys... the strike is NOT OVER yet. The response from govt doesn't change anything. They've presented an offer to the union with some conditions attached which their lawyers are currently reviewing. PAFSO is extremely stubborn and will not let this fight slide so easily. They could not have...

Hi Julia, GCMS stands for Global Case Management System and is the integrated and worldwide system used internally by CIC to process applications for citizenship and immigration services. When you submit a GCMS request for yourself or for someone else, you are requesting access to the...

This is complete misinformation Gauti. Of course the NDVO is processing Canadian visas, they are simply clearing 2012 applicants as fast as possible because their medical is expiring. DO NOT spread false information unless you can reliably confirm this is true. "Someone" is not a source! There...

Hi Anishka, I don't believe that's true, not sure where you heard that. Visa rejection post interview is rare but again it depends on the specific case. The officers usually ask a bunch of standard questions around the case history, the relationship, where/how long the spouse is employed etc...

Myrah, You've written some wonderful & true words there! That's exactly what I did earlier this month, got married in November '12 and went to visit her after 7 months of being apart. We had an amazing time! It meant the world to her and we were both very happy to be together after this much...

Harshiddi, I don't believe getting visa has anything to do w/travel history if the applicant hasn't lived in another country for >6 months, and even these have anomalies. But I do agree that the thing that creates delays is security checks and visa approvals if such is the case. Every case is...

Neeru, this is not the forum to discuss your matter as this thread is for Spousal sponsorship ONLY. Also, no one can tell you exactly when your visa will arrive as everyone here is waiting for the same. I would advise to be patient and wait.

TLSD, religion is a factor in bogus marriages as these are doctored to seem genuine and things often don't match up, so it's a question of whether the marriage registration certificate is authentic to your specific case. For ex, people can pre-register their marriage in court OR do it through...

Kaashu, the status in e-cas is highly un-reliable and they don't update it. For a lot of people including myself it's still showing "medical's received". You have to be more patient and wait.
