Dear Friends,

Received the Passport with Visa stamping today.

I greatly appreciate all the inputs from members in this forum. It helped us move on through each stage of process and we learned from your experience. Thank you all for contributing in one way or the other. I greatly appreciate the moderator of this forum, for creating a wonderful platform.

I take this Opportunity to share my experience and timeline in short for all your reference,

About me: Indian Citizen on H1B in California, US.

Year 2013 : Applied through an attorney in Ottawa, Category 2132. Due to back and forth communication, document delivery and delayed response from attorney, the quota was filled before the application was delivered to CIC.

Year 2014 : Decided to apply on our own. My wife worked hard in getting all minute details from various sources.

a. Prepared all necessary documentations like IELTS, WES Credentials, PCC, FBI Clearance and bank statements.

b. Applied on May 5th, as we monitored for any update in the application forms.

c. Application received by CIC, on May 7th. Provided CC for payment.

d. CC charged on Jun 19th.

e. PER received on Aug 8th.

f. Local VO started processing on Aug 29th. Same day received MR and request to update the dependants personal history from age 18 (originally given for past 10 years), updated bank statement & RPRF

g. Medical taken on Sep 12th, report received by CPC on Sep 23rd

h. Received Passport request on Sep 30th. Sent the same on Oct 6th, received by CPC on Oct 7th.

i. Received a request on Oct 23rd to send the Canadapost xPressslip (though original sent along with passport) and to follow the instruction.

j. Received passport today, Oct 30th with Visa stamped on Oct 16th.

Altogether it took 6 months to complete the process. My sincere thanks to all members of this forum and good luck to all who are waiting for the good news.

Cheers,

Sub

Myself working for an embassy I can say what happens is when officers get a big stack of applications they start distributing amongst thereselves.... some people are fast enough to process their assigned files but some are not......they take it easy....n do slowly.......so randomly they have some file from june....or july or august.....

n that is the reason we get small heart attacks.....that y my file has not processed yet!!!

Made me chuckle.

Contents of Security Checks..??

Dear Experts,

Can anybody please explain, what details do CIC verify during security checks..??

And whether this is done before issuing PER or when the app gets transferred to
local visa office..??

Seeking your valuable comments on above.

Thanks in advance..!!

 

[fresher_2013]

any reason, why some passport offices like Delhi and Paris are not asking for passport?

The train seems to have come to a halt at the MEDICAL Station...... :-\
