ALL PRSNS WHO R IN INPROCESS

[mbastudies]

Hi Invictus,
I don't think if you need to ask for any extension.
In fact, after getting your visa, you can enter Canada once in order to make sure your visa is not expired. You can then leave the country the very next day (or even within few hours) to go to US and complete your graduate program. Once you are done with your studioes, you can move to Canada. The rule is during 5 years after your initial entry to Canada, you have to stay and live in Canada for minimum 3 years, which in your case you can easily fulfill. This is my understanding based on what I have heard and learned form seniors. Others may guide you better.
And I am not sure where this rule that you mentioned is found: "Canada has the rule of maintaining not being Absent for more than 163 days, once you enter first and secure your PR card."
Good luck!

As per the CIC rule, if applicant completes medical examination by 01 September 2010 then his/her Immigration Visa validity would remain till 31 August 2011 (one year from the date of medical examination). So, to obtain Permanent Residency the said applicant has to land Canada before September 2011.

Now, this is the predicament:

I am likely to begin a graduate program in the US from spring 2011.
The possible program time line is- Jan 2011 to September 2012.
Now, is there any provision to extend the visa validity period, so I can enter Canada hopefully upon completion of the program? (It's written on the Med Request Letter that the extension of the visa validity is not permissible. Notwithstanding this, would appreciate your comment on possible avenues that I could explore.)
For the time being, I am planning to enclose with med and processing fees a Cover Letter explaining my circumstances and placing a formal request for an extension consideration.
Please note, Canada has the rule of maintaining not being Absent for more than 163 days, once you enter first and secure your PR card. Since, I'll be starting my graduate program in the US from this Jan 2011, if I enter Canada prior to that entering US for my studies, it would be utterly implausible for me to visit Canada every 6 months to keep my PR status valid.

Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this rather intricate matter.
Will welcome any suggestion wholeheartedly.

Thank you

Hi All,

Just to share my timeline, as I mentioned here I sent a case specific enquiry last July 27 and they responded July 30, that they already sent an email last July 12 for a passport request and I did not hear anything yet on my consultant, is the reply from CHC already a proof that they are requesting our passports? or should I wait for my consultant to contact me? in the request letter I have 45 days to submit the documents, since, the letter was dated as July 12, so I only have 27 days left to date to submit the documents/passports.......

Anyway, I already emailed my consultant and awaiting for their reply.
;D ;D

sir may i ask who your consult is?

Hi mbastudies,

Thanks for your very assuring remarks. I too have come across the rules on PR validity and found that 163 days rule is not yet in place.

Thanks

Hello Sir,
Thanks for reply, I have't sent any mail or query to NDHC. Infact I am confused whether to send an enquiry, or its too early and we need to be patient and wait for some more time?
Regards.
