Hi Everyone,
I have an update for everyone from January.
I have received my passport with VISA back from NEW DELHI visa office.
My Timeline is :
Category........: FAM
Visa Office......: New Delhi
App. Filed.......: 9th Jan 2012
AOR Received.: NO AOR (Received APPROVAL LETTER BY MAIL on 1 March)
File Transfer...: Dont Know
Med's Done....: Some where in Nov 2011
Passport Req..: 16th March-2012, ND received PP on 19th March (Ecas shows In process on April 11 2012, Decision Made was the status when i checked next week on 18th may be decision was made the previous week only and ecas updated later for me.)
VISA ISSUED...: Received on 18th April by Registered post. (When i received Passport, I checked ecas and found the updated status "DECISION MADE" under "Application for Permanent Residency")
I have been watching this January thread from so long, and kept monitoring the progress but never wanted to start the discussion as I didnt wanted to get addicted and kept my calm.
I also was waiting for srinivas.vadapalli 's updates because he had received PPR almost 15 days before me, and was very eager that he receives the passport back stamped as his update always helped me to keep my calm and his passport back stamped meant that I am also close.. But i dont know where his file stuck. I feel that he shouldnt have had contacted MP so soon.
Anyways,, Guys,, You all helped me to keep my calm..
I m not here to tell you that I have got my PP with Visa, I have gone through all those emotions that you all have gone through, after always seeing the time of CIC increase.
I m here to boost everyone, that If I have got it,, You are also close,,
I truely know whats the pain of staying away from the better half (Our life partner), Truely wish from inside,, that all you get together with your spouse soon.
And for Srinivas, I from my heart, pray, that you get the VISA stamped Passport in 4-5 days,, may be on 30th April (Monday) by post.
I felt so helpless sometimes, Its tough guys,, Getting Visa is not just the best thing, The new life has just started and starting a new life, afresh,, Job is the next big thing, Even bigger that what we thought,, Its not easy, you have to again start some short time course, Learn driving,, getting driving liscense is not easy in Canada, and without liscense,, if u get a job far away,, without car,, you will be changing the busses, route to route,, Whats good in Canada is we earn better, but except that, Life is tough.
Not that I m very lazy person who is scared to work or scared of hectics in life, but If we try to calculate it, When you marry, a month before it , you are busy, you cant concentrate on job or business, so next after marriage you will atleast spend some time together,, go on Honeymoon, watch movies together, go here there, visit relatives, etc etc.. 2 months just hell busy, no time for work.
then your spouse will leafe to Canada due to work. Then within 2-3 months , application will be filed.
Till now total 4-5 Months.
Next Wait for 4-6 months for visa (if in Visa office like ND where it takes max 6 months)
Total 8-10 months, Then when you go there, you will need to do some 6 months course to quality for a job there.
Total 12 to 14 months, this is minimum time, some others from other VISA OFFICE wait till 2 years also.
So after minimum 1 year , you will be able to get job, from there you start your new life and look for settlement. But this one year is so stressfull. Like we guys were now stressed due to visa, then Stress in Canada for settlement.
I think I have gone into too much depth.. Thats y i never participated in the FORUM,, I m a deep thinker,, I get to depth. So i tried to stay away and keep myself calm, and checked updated on forum every 10 days. and rest of the days, made my mind beleive that I have never applied, so no checking please and no bothering.
