congrats adihanda!!!! that's amazing news! i had not checked this forum for a few days and was just curious so see if you guys had received your visas! very happy for you. welcome to canadian winter :-)

you are right guys - ECAS has finally been updated! looks like the employee responsible in ND finally got back from vacation! :-) I just checked my husband's ecas status too...Under Permanant Residence Application Status, it says 'Complete'. Then will you click on it, it says the following: "We...

@missingyou - wow that's alot of questions! he's coming this sunday :D no, i haven't seen the visa. no, they have not returned the documents yet. hmm dont know the date stamped on envelope - but it was issued on jan 11th and it arrived at home on 21st (so say about 10 days by post)

depends what they ask for - if they say new passport, just send that. but if they ask for all old passports/travel documents - she should send that too.

hi everyone - thanks for the wishes. @santiv, i can completely relate to the pain and frustration you and your husband are feeling. rightly said, though the financial aspect is important, it is the emotional aspect that makes this separation unbearable at times. i really think it is wrong to...

sure adihanda party is on! thanks for the optimism...i feel the positive vibes really help. @applied03 - ecas still shows not available. @missingyou - we are booking tickets in the next couple of days - he should be here next weekend!!!! countdown begins :D

hey everyone...i have wonderful news to share!!! :D my husband received his passport and visa!!!!! adihanda - ur prediction was correct!! it arrived by courier yesterday (jan 20th) and the visa was dated jan 11th. i cannot tell u how relieved i feel. sanyrog, applied03, missingyou and others -...

i share the exact same sentiments. it is getting extremely difficult to go on like this and somedays i do feel like packing my bags and heading back to india! same thing about the VOs...i feel they should bring in a consulting firm to figure out how to improve their efficiency levels! u're right...

hey everyone. does it really help to talk to MPs? we don't really have any connections to MPs, but if it makes definitely helps in hastening the process, then it may be worth trying. i was looking through other threads of aug/sept 2010 applicants and many countries are MUCH faster than ND...

thanks for the vote of confidence adihanda...let's hope you are right! and thanks for seeing the optimistic side of the situation - it really helps. you should add your name to the list too...probably next week's visa getter? i have stopped checking ecas. seems like a waste of time. in the end...

hey santiv, its definitely a difficult decision. i can totally relate. i was feeling extremely emotional early december and was so close to flying to mumbai to meet my husband. thankfully the PPR came through dec 13 and that gave us some strength to push through this process. it's a good thing i...

hey adihanda - congrats!! very happy for u. now we can join applied03, sanyrog, me & few others in the wait for visa! let's hope it happens quickly. congrats coffee11! nice to see people getting responses, seems that ND is back to work in full swing.

congrats godlover! we have similar timelines - my application was sent on aug 6, AOR Sept 23. however we received PPR only on Dec 13th. so now i'm just hoping the PP comes back quick!

no idea...dont have it on me. in any case - i'd suggest that you don't worry bout all the minor details. u got the letter, thats all that matters.

congrats kal and sadatul! great news. @sanyrog - no i haven't sent case specific enquiry. seems pointless, no one seems to get a response. @adihanda - yes, you are right, this forum is a strong support system for me too. i need to log in each day and check the progress of our applications...

congrats waiting4u! that is amazing news. and great to see that ND office is capable of processing applications quickly. hey adihanda great job on compiling everyone's status!

hi vish. i had left 6b and 6c blank too. you are fine.

@sanyrog - i agree with missingyou. jet airways is an excellent flight. i traveled mumbai-brussels-toronto- its a 2-3 hour stopover and the brussels airport is quite peaceful compared to heathrow.

thanks rocky and sanyrog! wish you all the same. wishing for a wonderful 2011 to us all! in 2010, we've been strong and made tough decisions - in 2011, we will bear the fruits of our labour!
