Actually i dont think they should spend too much of time on BC either... i had pretty much the same situation and have already got the visa so hopefully it shouldnt take too long....

True but there is some system maintenance going on, I wouldnt trust their timings of "NOTE: Due to regular maintenance, CIC online services will not be available: Saturday, May 14, 2011, from 8:00 a.m. EST to 10:00 a.m. EST Sunday, May 15, 2011, from 12:00 a.m. EST to 6:00 a.m. EST" Sometimes...

Mine took 20 days to reach me coz my rep (lawyer) was in canada i guess its ok.... i was scared of changing my address on ecas because i didnt want ND to be confused with anything, but once they received my PP, they updated my mailing address by themselves on ecas, so mayb they do have some idea...

Its true you dont need to be physically present in the country the application is being processed. You will need to find a way to send your passport to india when u receive a PPR and (lets really hope its not needed) if you are called for an interview. But if u were planning to move back to...

Very soon ;) till then caught up in the frenzy of leaving this place!

Ya either they were very strict or they saw ur indian passport and decided to let ND do the dirty work and got lazy.. anyway its true nothing to worry about.. if u do want detailed info about the manuals and the procedures that the VOs decide with u can check this link out...

If u read the OP manual it states the following... " Presentation of a national passport should constitute satisfactory proof of the applicant's nationality, and the office responsible for the country in question will generally process the application whether the applicant lives in that...

thank goodness. anything that is not mandatory i doubt i am even going near, Enough grief these 'officials' give us even otherwise that is indeed good news!!

Haahaha well yes i guess the personal preference bit is true.. in my case i dont want a name change at all if i can avoid it. the whole battling with embassies, passport offices etc has ensured that much to change it here itself there is a backlog and its taking months for people to get the...

Is it important for any reason to change the name at all? as in are there any repercussions? I dont think i want to go through the hassles of changing anything anymore.. have had enough with these authorities, embassy etc but will do it if there is some reason to do it.... Is is sufficient to...

I dont think it makes a difference at all... My passport has no changes, not even an endorsement to include spouse's name in the passport. I recently got a new Passport and had enough of hassles running around for it with the VFS without having to go back to the passport office to change things...

The PPt is sent via registered post and it has to be signed for. there is no way of knowing when it was sent out until you actually receive it and when u do there will be a stamp stating when it was mailed out of ND so u can figure out how long it takes to reach u. After the Decision made on my...

Hey BA has some really cheap prices... one way on certain days are abt 730CAD, i found that the cheapest was this, i mean with the lest number of stopovers...also depending on the city of departure... just FYI.. :) hope to c ur post with PPR soon!!

Hey dont worry abt what the doc said. it is very routine. The DMP said the same to me too and she was the same one i have always gone to for medicals. In fact the first time i had my medicals done 4 years ago, they called me back 2 days later and asked me to come to the clinic, i was very...

Congrats!! nice to c a couple of things moving at least...!!

DNT2003, i know what u mean, i resigned myself to the fact that my visa will take forever and went for scores of interviews, one company i wanted to work with very much... but for my luck the visa has come, and i get a call from them asking me when i wanna join... Now i obviously cant take...

I think u are getting way too paranoid because others who might have filed after u have received the PPR, I got my PPR almost 30-31 days after the file was received in ND (i must say the other half was getting just as paranoid, and was all ready to make inquiries) , and i am sure urs is probably...

I dont know about other parts of India, but i had great experiences with the cop and the postwoman!! When i applied for PCC, the cop came home to verify and i was so apprehensive coz i never know what is the right way to "bribe" and my mother was also just standing by! He very sweetly came...

VFS is a horrible horrible place.... i had to apply for my passport at one of them because it was lost and they sent me to hell and back before i could apply even though i spoke directly to the Regional Passport Officer, and he wanted them to accept my application. Its a miracle i was able to...

Thank u!! and i know i speak for those who received our visas, we are not far behind!! :)) God speed to everyone here waiting still...
