Congrats everyone who got ITA....I got ITA after a really long wait (am a Feb 2, 2016 OINP applicant)...
Have a few queries:
1. Military Background - anyone has a military background (or their spouse), can you please share what comes up in the Document Checklist? My husband is ex-IAF and we have filled his details in the Personal History, but not sure what documentation will be asked, so in case anyone has the Doc Checklist, please advise.
2. Qatar PCC - My husband was in Qatar from 2004-06, and he got the PCC issued last year. Unfortunately, we did not notice the mistakes in the PCC until we got ITA. For example, his name is written as "sandeep singh gill bal gill", where as his name is sandeep singh gill , ad the remaining part is his fathers partial name. In addition, they have not written nationality, passport number, reason for PCC etc.... they have mentioned Visa Reference No (of one of the multiple visas he was issued in 2004-06 to travel to Qatar). We reached out to the concerned authorities, and they said that name will not be corrected as its like that on his VISAS also. Further, processing time is 4-6 months. We are thinking of writing a Letter of Explanation, as we have a valid PCC with us, except that the Qatari authorities issue it the way they have given us.
3. Eye colour - Mine is like most Indians (Dark Brown), but no option - only Black and Brown. Husband's Eye colour - Light Brown - again, the options are Brown / Hazel.
