FSW2014 NDVO Applicants Shifted to COLOMBO Let us connect

[rajaram]

Thanks for the info...
Well for the tickets I booked is online, and the U.K. Website also showed if you have visa for Canada or USA u don't require transit visa.

Well for the job, I have to come there and search as I work at shipyards and my wife is a school teacher. She need to get some certificates before she can get a job in her field. Have already started applying .let see what comes up.
The only thing for the travel card was it is cheaper to load than DD and cash. When we submit a DD I checked they will take nearly min 10 days to encash it and transfer in your account. But with traveller card its there with you, can easily take the money out of any atm and deposit in your account. Only negative part is you end up paying $2 for every transaction.
Travel card are not same as debit or credit cards, they are preLoaded with an xxx amount you want to carry and bank will give you the receipt for the same. Which can act as POF. For putting money in travel card there is a difference of nearly 1-2rs per cad dollar.

And thanks for the website will start going through it.

Yes, you are correct bank took 10 days to encash my DD as well. I had brought cash to cover for the time being. This 10 day hold off period is applicable only if you open bank account in bank other than the DD issuer bank. Example if you get CAD DD from SBI, India and you open account in SBI Canada, it will be cleared in couple of days whereas if you open an account with HSBC, they will hold off money for 10 days. Also, you can negotiate on this 10 day wait period. I did and they released money partially after 4-5 days.

I think you are also correct if the card issuing bank gives you proof of the transaction, that should certainly satisfy immigration officials. There is another option if you want to try. Scotiabank, one of the leading national bank in Canada has their branch in Connaught Place, New Delhi. They have the facility of opening a canadian bank account while a 'would be' PR is sitting in India. They take 2-3 weeks to process the application once complete documentation is handed over to them. You can avail of that option and once your account is opened, you can ask any of your Indian banks (whosoever gives you best rate) to transfer CAD in that account. Scotiabank officer in New Delhi may insist that this transfer be done through them and of course you can negotiate. This way, you can save money to be paid for withdrawals.

Checked today with HDFC bank.
Today exchange rate is 1 CAD = 51.30 RS. For cash.
DD/TC is 49.87
Traveler card is 49.78.
And the best rate is with TT 47.8 Rs.

So it is best to open an account from India or open an account when u reach there and then TT the money there.

Hi forumites.
Having received the 7th line update, that the MR was received by CVO, when I got a new mail from CVO today, I was very optimistic. I thought it was a PPR, as my original MR was sent by CVO on 28th Aug 2015 (I had completed my meds and my wife's Meds, except chest XRay - we had our baby in Nov, and then finally all meds were completed and 7th line was updated on 21st Jan).

But unfortuneately I have been asked again the following:
Please note that you and your spouse are required to complete question 8 (Personal History) and question 12 (Address History) of schedule A (IMM5669) form since 18th birthday todate without leaving any gaps. This must be received at this office by : 03/02/2016

I had been asked for the same back in August by CVO, and on 14th Sep I had sent them the updated IMM5669 on 14th Sep 2015 alongwith the MR sheet etc... No idea why they are asking for it again.

Regards,
Andy

Andy dont worry may be they just want to update it becoz they wanna know about your status for last six months ie after medicals. They always ask for updated schedule A.
Just give them what they ask and have what you want.

Thanks a lot Shinestar...

Do you also know if it will be fine to send the updated information via email ?
Or this needs to be physical copy again ?

Thanks in advance !

Hello everyone,

I am not sure where you all check the application status that you see 7th line as Medical results updated. I am checking status of my brother's application and i am seeing this status in the 4th line. I have previously read similar thing from other members that they see more than 4-5 lines in status. I remember in my case it was 4-5 lined status. Can anyone please provide me the link for status checking so that i can see the difference.

 

[rajaram]

Email is fine I sent them in email when they asked me.

I think they would be needing hard copies because these forms need to have signatures as well. There is no harm in sending on email as well as hard copies through post/courier.
