    Congratulations Linzar! Hi Yadav, it seems your information was correct and we'll hopefully hear good news for you and others (including me).

    You're welcome. I do want to clarify that whatever I have stated is based on my understanding (mostly from research and reading forum discussions). You may want to check it with an expert such as an immigration lawyer. I have always found transparency to be beneficial - not just in the matters...

    Thank you Yadav. I hope everyone's efforts pay off and they get a positive outcome. It is going to take weeks for me to get all the information organized. It is really difficult in cases where wife and husband are living separately. Try and stay positive because positive thinking has enormous power.

    In your case, since the MP followed up with them, they are aware that you are waiting. You're lucky also to have an MP who is willing to follow up every month. In your case specifically, they mentioned that they are doing further review. I suppose its best to wait and find out as time passes by...

    Lots of information required to put everything together. I will let you know the details later. Maybe the lawyer did the work or maybe they didn't. I checked at the time of filing and thought I provided everything.

    I would recommend that you think it through and perhaps consult with your lawyers / agents before proceeding. As mentioned, I don't live in India and my High Commission is different.

    Hi Yadav, I was sharing my experience. Don't know if anyone has any good answers on what approach will work :), otherwise I'm sure we would have found out in this forum. Sometimes, it might be trial and error. Last week, my wife said 'give others an opportunity to respond'. I felt I have given...

    Thanks SonikaRJ. So, appears there was no response from the Prime Minister or Immigration Minister. Hopefully, once you receive GCMS notes, you'll know more.

    I understand that it may be frustrating waiting without any idea how long the process will take. I will soon complete 7 months of filing my application. However, sending updates / emails / CSEs frequently may not necessarily achieve the desired result. I have received a letter asking me to...

    Spouse Open Work permit

    Hi, I read somewhere that its better if both apply together since it demonstrates full transparency. I'm not sure if its right, but sounds logical to me. As regards OWP / TRV, I am assuming that your spouse is also from India and hence, not eligible for visa waiver. Here's my understanding of...

    I had asked this question in this forum a week or two ago. Another forum member suggested that filing a TRV application may not be a good idea.

    Create MyCIC Account to review application status

    Anyone know how to create MyCIC Account to review the application status? I have made an OWP application online from outside Canada. My application was filed by my Immigration Lawyer online and we filed the 'Use of representative' form at the time of making applying.

    Could you please advise when each of these were done? Don't need the exact dates, just how many months ago did you / your husband make each of those contacts.

    You have already emailed Hon John McCallum. He is the second highest authority in Canada from an immigration standpoint. My advise would be to not send too many emails. Keep something in reserve for later use. I found this email id on the Canadian Hugh Commission of New Delhi's site...

    I'm not sure about TRV based on other people's outcome. Perhaps a paper application for OWP.

    I replied to your draft. Please ignore the first one and look at the second reply. Look, if you're feeling uncomfortable about sending the email, then you should perhaps consult with your lawyer before doing so. In your case, you have waited a month longer than the normal processing time...
