Hi youtube, Congrats! Could you please clarify the date you submitted the application (at VFS)? From the posts above, I deduce that the status changed on Jan 6th and you received passport on Jan 7th - is that right? My wife's parents applied at VFS Mumbai on Jan 8th, and as of Jan 21st (13...

Applied from India on Jan 8th, but physically applied through a VFS office, not online. Still showing processing in Bangalore.

My in-laws applied on Jan 8th by going to the VFS center in Mumbai with their completed application, and paid the fee there. The application was sent to Bangalore, and the online status shows still processing in Bangalore. They never said anything about a pre-paid return envelope. Maybe it was...

You should receive your GCMS notes by 10th of next month. As far as I know, from the experience of most people on this forum, they will NOT send another PPR. People have been waiting several months, and don't get a second PPR if you missed the first PPR. You have to find out from the GCMS...

For all those who applied for GCMS notes and are waiting, you are pretty much guaranteed to get it within 30 days to get your GCMS notes from the day you apply (for electronic copy). I have applied for it twice, and from following others on this forum who have applied, you will get it on the...

Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know that my wife landed in Ottawa yesterday (July 25th). No problems from immigration, customs, or anything else really. Everything went smoothly to wrap up this long process, which they are making so much harder than it should be. All the best to...

Hey maple. Sorry, it was only my intent to say that going there does not help, in case people on the forum had such thoughts. I know we all think so in our desperation, and I just wanted to save some trouble for those who were considering it. I didn't mean to bleaken the situation. You are...

Very nice, Congrats buddy!! My wife also picked up her passport with PR stamped, around 9:30 IST this morning (July 18th). She said the same story about the scene. There was a large foyer with practically nobody, the offices were mostly empty, there were several interview rooms also all...

Yep, my wife just landed in Delhi. Will be going to pick up her passport in about an hour, when their work day starts! Very excited, and she's slightly nervous too... it's so close, but not yet in hand. Hope everything goes smoothly indeed! All the best to you too!

You too buddy! It's been a long frustrating ride, and very glad that it's coming to an end! Welcome to Canada, and have a great life ahead!

Nice. I'm Canadian citizen, living close to Ottawa. Born in Kerala, but grew up in Vadodara, Gujarat. My wife is from Kerala, but grew up in Mumbai currently living there.

That's great! Got the passport in your hands, congratulations! Glad to hear it all worked out. I know my wife would be very nervous while waiting for it to arrive. Good luck and have a happy life ahead! :)

Yes! Got the same call. About 3 hours ago now, i.e. 13:45 IST. They said the visa is stamped, and that my wife can go any day now, any time between 0900 and 1500 to pick it up from their office in New Delhi. Booked our tickets for Thursday. Still unreal... but waiting for closure, once we get it...

They do not differentiate between enquiries/emails from applicant or lawyer or immigration consul;tant. They say that they will reply in 30 days you are past your 10 month processing period. If not, they might not respond at all. The only difference is if your MP makes an enquiry. Then they will...

Yeah, I know how you feel. I hope they don't cut it too close. Really expecting the call tomorrow, or at the latest on Wednesday.

Hey, No, we didn't receive a call either today. Yeah, they said a few days. Hopefully tomorrow! However, my status on ECAS did go from "Application Received" to "In Process". It also says, "We started working on <applicant>'s application on July 12, 2013." July 12th was the day my wife got the...

I have some great news to share with you guys! My wife got a call an hour ago from NDVO. It was the same kinda thing as nabagataa. First the man asked confirmation questions - her name, date of birth, husband's name, wedding date. Then they said that our case is looking good, almost everything...

I wouldn't read too much into the ECAS status. For some people, it went to "In Process" early on in the process - pretty much as soon as they sent out PPR. For others, PPR came and In Process happened later, for some, In Process came before PPR. Then there are some people whose status never even...

As per CIC's website (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp): There are two steps in processing family sponsorship applications. In order to know the total approximate time it may take for your application to be processed, ADD the time in step 1 to the time in step 2 (the...

For all the people who have called NDVO, and successfully spoken to someone, please help me out. My wife has tried calling them, and most of the time, she is not able to speak with someone. It's always the automated system. She tried a lot of times, and twice she was able to reach a person -...
