Hello everyone,
I am looking for ppl who applied for can immi thru "Vision Consultant" Dubai especially in the month of Oct 2010. My friend applied independantly, without using an agent (albeit from a diff country) and he got his File Ref # in the second week of Jan. His docs reached CIO 2 weeks b4 mine. My docs, as per my agent, supposedly reached CIO in the 3rd week of October 2010. Looking at my friend's timeline i would say that i shud have received my file # beginning/mid of Feb, however NOTHING

I have my doubts that the agent ever sent my appl....a mistake i did was i gave him cash for the $550 fees, although he had asked for a DD, but due to my laziness, i gave him cash. Hence dont know whether the case reached the authorities or not.

Anyone who can provide me any news regarding the situation of October applicants and abt the above mentioned consultant and whether he is reliable??

Thanks

P.S Sorry if this post of mine ends up in the wrong place (for e.g in a reply to someone's question and my post has no relevance to it)

Hani36,
Vision consultants promise long distance vision but end u up with short sightedness. I guess u got my point. I have no bitter experience but one of my friends was duped and after running helter skelter got back some 1800 dhs and some portion of depression. :eek: :eek:
If u a lazy person as u stated what the heck u will do in CANADA?

Hi Shibuya
Ok so i guess that my efforts and money have gone to waste....u think i shud ask him for the refund or wait for a while and see how things go?

But anyone on this forum who sent his docs in Oct 2010 and got his file number?

I had applied in 1122 but now since the cap is already full till June i dont see any point in applying for the time being....

But then went for safehome stay itself, as it was one of the cheapest, also with kitchen (most important for preparing handy items for kid especially), also it was close to take TTC (Toronto Transport Services)..so finalised on safehome stay.. We took Ettihad flight via Abudhabi to Toronto..(well, I would recommend Emirates flight as its A-380 flight, good leg space which makes good difference in long flights..if small differences you should go with Emirates..) Filled the disemberkation card from flight..In Immigration, after stamping I told them I have come here to do my landing procedure - they routed me to special immigration department, where they all took our passports and COPR, he asked the correspondence address, and then asked my job and all..well we just chatted for some time, he didnt ask me any questions regarding the fund or how much days am staying here..just we talked in general for some time and then he told the PR cards would come back to me by March last week or April first week, when I just asked how to follow up on this, he gave me a number and could contact them after april first week..Then I went down to collect the luggages.. after collecting my luggage just before exiting, a customs official took my disemberkation card and asked me whether I had any good to follow list.. when I told yes, he returned me this form and then sent me to a special customs counter.. As Qorax adviced, I had mentioned everything (that possible I could take) in the GTF list.. first he checked my GTA list..he was very impressed by the list, but he was concerned only about the gold photos, though in the begening he told me to take all the gold out of the bag for checking.. then he only told leave it and then stamped that for me.. In the GTF list , he jsut told me to make sure of the gold and then took down the total amount and give me a receipt totalling both the lists.. He returned me one GTA and one GTF list after stamping..well they didnt ask me the form for Currency decleration or any and I didnt give them too...Then smoothly went off...

The next day, I went to the closest Social service center and applied for SIN card... I had already taken a completed form with me and gave them 1 photo each..they were very helpful..gave me the SIN card no. that time itself but told the original SIN card would be sent by post within 10 days...

I stayed there only for 1 week..jsut an advice, if anyone is planning to stay only for 1 week and their intention is to just explore in that time, then I would recommend to take a city pass (cd$60 for an adult) which covers Toronto Musuem, Zoo, CN Tower, Casaloma, Science Museum...we were busy rounding..

When exiting I asked for the yellow form in customs to declare the items that I was taking out..They asked me whether it was the same as in GTA lsit, when I told yes..they told I could use the stamped GTA list for reference next time..
Also my cousin has already received our SIN cards..now waiting for PR cards..hope that has no further problems...

That was my small landing experience...

once again thanks a loooootttt to all for their sincere help and sorry for the delay as was bit bisy with office works...

Cheers...

Yes, of course.

Would e-mailed bank statement from scotiabank suffice as POF? Since they don't have a branch in Dubai the one sent by regular mail may take a long time to reach.

The HDFC office would stamp that email [check it - if they haven't] & that suffices.

With the Grace of Almighty Allah I received the passports today with a shiny maple leaf sticker on it. I would like to thanks every one in this forum for their support an encouragement through out the waiting period.

Now other worries like relocation, job search and settlement issue etc.. started. I need your help, support and advices to overcome these issues as well.

One Thing More (Today there was a cricket match between my present country and my future country I was thinking to whom I have to support :eek:)

Thank you once again
