and you lookout for biggest, fattest guy in food court :)

i also think the reason for my more-than-normal-duration of background checks is that they might consider me a long term food security risk :)

planning to land on Jan 2013 :)
Dear all,
In my application i still carry my maiden's name...im planning to change it to my husband's name after landing in Canada...is it ok to ask the visa officer at point of entry to update my name with my husband's name for pr card and ill show our marriage cert? Or they will go with the corp? If the go with the corp? Is it ok after landing or receiving the pr card i'll request for change?

Anyone who has the same experience as mine, please share your experience thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,
Charm

Well it was really a very short notice. I read only on Thursday evening that Captain and other members are meeting in MCC. And since I was having a dinner I couldnt have made it. Even if I knew in the morning, I would have come to say hello.

Anyways, no issues. will meet next time.

Best

Thanks NOOR Bhai for the compliments! ;)

@friends who missed the get together and the opportunity to meet the Great Capt.

After the initial request to the Capt it was on the forum dangling for 3 days and ultimately, it was finalized during the 11th hour somehow. And it was organized while I was booking our Toronto tickets with 2 laptops and equal numbers of phones on speakerphones. I Texted/whatsapped/n wrote on the forum when I got the green signal from Capt Qorax. Wish I could be of more help. Some landed seniors could not make it because of their 'preoccupation'. :-X

Best Wishes to all the hopefuls, keep ur spirits high! Be positive and never loose faith, as God only tests your belief in His doings! 8)

Bestpal


Thanks to those who could make it and better luck next time to those who could not!

Hi Mr. Qorax,

I just received additional documents request wherein it is mentioned that-

New updated original police certificate for you and each of your dependants that is 18 years old or more from each country that you or your dependants have lived in for 6 months or more. If you already submitted police certificates with your application, you need to provide updated certificates for the countries that you and your dependants have lived in since the date you submitted your application. we require the following,
Principal applicant- Oman
Spouse/ common law partner- Oman

My question is should I provide Police clearance certificate only for oman or also for other countries where I have stayed more than 6 months??

Please answer immediately as I have only 15 days remaining.
