Vishal..
Me too FSW2 Applicant....I applied on Feb 16 2011...2AOR 20 APRIL 2011....IN PROCESS ON 21 NOV..
Comparing my time lnes with yours....ther is gap of almost 3 months.....

and its just 15days since i recived MR.......so...?

i agree that June applicants received MR...which i find UNFAIR compared to Mar/Apr applicants.

But we never know what really going on.....hope for de best.

Hey Canadestin

i agree that June applicants received MR...which i find UNFAIR compared to Mar/Apr applicants. - I agree with this and am very concerned about the timelines on my application. :'(

I hope for the best too as I cannot afford that kind of delay in our processing as there are too many ifs and buts which surely cannot keep hanging for that long....I hate this state of limbo where we are not aware of what is happening to our files.....Its very frustrating.

Hi Vishal,

Its a mystery....but we know very well by now that "treating files in the order of priority and fairness" has eluded many applicants.

This is what I think:

1. Many applicants on tracker might not have updated their status thus creating a false impression.
2. Not all files are similar and the complexity of the files renders the pace of processing.
3. Luck plays a crucial part...If you are lucky to get an over enthusiastic VO who would clear your file in approx 4.5 months (Doglover, NDVO) or unlucky one to have your file move to In Process after 1.4years (Harjot, NDVO).
4. Yes, we did observe the "SKIPPING" trend for Feb applicants which was disappointing and again is being repeated for April applicants....I can only say that the BUNCH is with a LAZY VO....hope he wakes up. :)

5. Anybody crossing the 6 month wait period should send CSE...it is the RIGHT of the applicant to know the status of his/her application.

6. Vishal, unless we sneak into the offices of the VOs, we will NEVER come to know the REAL Stratergy......guess, guess and guess is what we can do. But they will take care of the files...I am sure. ;D ;D ;D

Mitali

NB: Vishal, are you AEO or at a job in Canada already?....this will also affect the processing time. Be ready to provide RCMP fingerprints if you are residing in Canada...it may be asked for.

Hey Mitali,

I totally agree with points number 2-3-4-5-6 but would like to inform all the forum members that for point number 1 - the applicants listed above are all active applicants and that is their actual status as of date (except for Nurhia) :)

Thanks Param
I got PER in Feb 2011 when it was transfer to buffalo office.what it means of positive eligibilty review for an application.
How can i apply for GCMS please let me know.
Paramvir said:
Hi Akshara,,

PER is "positive eligibility review".. You generally get PER from CIO sydney via email which gives you application number..

2nd AOR are not issued by all VOs.. Some VO's issue it as an acknowledgement of receipt of paper file in local VO from Nova Scotia, Canada...

You might want to send a GCMS request,, as it has been almost 3 months since VO answered and declared your file being looked into and nothing has been done. At least it would clarify what is being done to your file.. ;) .

Cheers
Param
 
There is nothing to think such cause april and march both are two important years of a financial year so might be they are busy with their accounts....

Regards
Madlaak

Hey Madlaak,,

Hope you are doing well.

The RPRF DD reached NDVO on 18th November and it was encashed on 2nd December.

It is taking approx 15 days for DD to be encashed.


Cheers,

INQUIRED ABOUT NRI ACCOUNT ;)

YOU CAN OPEN ACCOUNT ONCE YOU LAND BACK IN INDIA AFTER GETTING PR CARD. YOU NEED PROOF OF "LANDING IN CANADA" (PP WITH STAMPS) AND "PR CARD"

How much max amount can we deposit....do we need to show proof from where we got that amount?

FROM CANADA MAX WE CAN DEPOSIT IN ONE MONTH IS AMOUNT EQUIVALENT TO USD5000.

Will Indian Taxes will be applicable for that deposited amount?

THE AMOUNT IS NON TAXABLE BUT INTEREST GENERATED IS TAXABLE.

Name of Banks?
ICICI

And any other details if u know......

NONE
