Timeline
Applied November 17th 2010
Ecas updated Jan 2011 that file was received (AOR) Dec 23rd 2010
Supplement & updated Forms April 2012
Re-Medical issued May 15, Received June 6th, Done June 27th and ecas update July 21st 2012
Re-PCC requested June 26th.
PPR Feb 9th 2013
PP Return Feb 20th 2013 (11 days - 1 day delay due to TCS issue).
Total time 27 months (26 from AOR).
Other Info
- Applied with Nikkah case
- Did Rukshati following year + to avoid any objection.
Lessons learned personally and from other members here.
- Assume it will take 26 or max time for Process. Plan your life around that. Don't hope for a quick process.
- There were many opportunities we didn't avail, thinking, its almost done, 1 more month. Oh Re-Medical! Now only 1-2 months more. etc. Its easier to break plans and pack-up and go rather than sit in the unknown and make no plans.
- Do full wedding instead of Nikkah and wedding. We ended up spending more money and organizational hassle. Don't get me wrong, I loved all events and had fun! This will also avoid objection from CHC regarding consummation of marriage.
- On initial application, send photos, travel boarding passes, other information. This did help and we also updated on wedding time. To remove any doubt from them.
- If you can, avoid having children as that will prolong your file and create complications with Medicals and Paper work. Not to mention personal depression of being away from your spouse and child.
If anything pops in my head, I will let you know.
Also, my wife got the PR Sticker on passport but also received PR letter but has watermark of Not Valid for Travel. I asked her to take it with her just in case but Sticker of PR should be enough.
Cheers!! ;D ;D
