How many days will it take to receive the MR after the ecas second line status is updated?? my ecas second line was updated on 26 September 2014.When could I expect my MR ?? Thanks

It depends on your Visa Office. Some VOs are faster than others. Please refer to the spread sheet for average processing times for different VOs. On an average 40 days is the waiting time from PER to MR. Good Luck.

Apply for PCC asap if you have not.

Wait, is the original degree certificate also required or just a certified true copy?

Neither, unless it is translated. If it's in English or French, only a plain copy is required.

You must include your wife and child on your application, but you can specify that they are non-accompanying. It doesn't save you any time or paperwork as you still must provide full details and documents about all of them. If you don't include your wife and child on your application you can NEVER sponsor them to come to Canada. Be warned!

If you list them as non-accompanying, they won't get visas and after you land and become a PR you can sponsor them later. It's easier to just list them as accompanying and bring them with you, but if you have a good reason why you don't want to (and you must explain to CIC why), then go ahead.

I don't understand "once I get my application charged I will apply for my wife and child." One way or the other you have to pay for them, you can't avoid paying by listing them as non-accompanying and bringing them later.

Also note that whether your wife and child accompany you or not, you must prove sufficient settlement funds for all 3 of you.

Good luck.

Hi Future_Canadian,

Sorry, pardon my ignorance if I didnt get you right. Are you saying one needs to pay for the visa fee of spouse and children even if they are not accompanying? Or are you saying that we have to pay for whenever they are coming to Canada.

Guys I'm confused and need support with regards to additional family info form. I understand it has to be filled by "Principal" applicant and "Spouse" but how?

Principal Applicant = A
Spouse = B

First Form Second Form

A as Applicant B as Applicant
B as Spouse A as Spouse
A's Mother B's Mother
A's Father B's Father
A's Children B's Children
A's Brothers & Sisters B's Brothers & Sisters

exactly

Of course they are, but because this forum is International not Indian, the word CIC by its own is used to refer to the CIC officers who work in the CIO at Sydney, NS

I am not Indian, you know

wow .. cc charges have reached 13th june already .. going by SS, entries in June are almost half of may which means twice the speed.. the same is reflecting in CC charges ..

i think many CAP estimates for NOCs are going to be challenged and will ease out by the time July charges start .. thats my observation ..

 

[fswp2014applicant]

Thanks, as per that no holiday for this week which would mean I can expect my PER this week itself

I posted the list of all Canadian holidays and corresponding dates a few pages back.

 

[future_canadian]

Yes they send me the whole package by mail.
I don't know exactly if they need the original or a certified one. I have both and I can send them both but how can I do that and what should write on the envelope in order to consider as a pretty sent app not a new one. Should I contact someone there is to guide me.

You can include a cover letter indicating that you had previously submitted your application and asking to be considered in your original place in the queue, but I'm pretty sure they won't do that.

Diplomatru: Have you already landed in Canada???

 

[future_canadian]

Fill it as following:

Principal Applicant = A
Spouse = B

First Form Second Form

A as Applicant A as Applicant
B as Spouse B as Spouse
A's Mother B's Mother
A's Father B's Father
A's Children B's Children
A's Brothers & Sisters B's Brothers & Sisters

No, this is INCORRECT. On the second form, B is applicant and A is spouse.

-1 for incorrect information

 

[Diplomatru]

Diplomatru: Have you already landed in Canada???

Yes, under SP.

 

[future_canadian]

Yes there was a letter telling me the reason.
What should I write on the envelope exactly what o help them to know that i'm not a new applicant.

You ARE a new applicant now. It's unfortunate, but true.
