that's right, i believe now that we have the same officer ashunadal... imagine getting the approval almost exactly the same time.. now we can stop calling CIC and end long distance charges! !can you log in to your ecas already?
yes i think so too and yes im not going to call CIC anymore and doesnt want to check ecas either for next few days.:)
approval is a big achievement i think and im totally satisfied :)
best of luck :)
 
My application was received January 31st and there is no update from them. They have sent an email to CPC-M, but no response as of yet. I am very worried as I think my application my be lost. I am going to contact my MP if I do not receive a response by the end of this weeks. I am so depressed :-(

don't worry, we just received ours today (mine is January 25, and ashunadal's Jan 26). you should wait it out a couple days more or maybe next week.. but keep calling if you want.. You'll get yours soon... Good luck =)

yes kham6490 and swoop81 its your turn now dont get worried and i dont think calling CIC helps really. when i called in morning, agent said there is nothing in their system, they might have sent our application back or maybe its in line with other 1000's of applications. after half an hour i got approval email. hope you and all remaining january members will receive your approvals soon.
best of luck :)
 
isn't it due time for the quarterly per country processing time update too? last time they updated is January 23..

Hi,
have you tried calling Canadian Cooperation Office in Kathmandu? This is a number to their visa section (at least the section that deals with collecting and sending passports to ND and receiving them back and arranging interviews) 977-1-4415192. Please try calling them in afternoons (Nepalese time), but you could try mornings as well. My understanding is they answer in afternoons. As far as I know, they do interviews as well. Somewhere I read that you could have a telephone interview also. I keep on saying to the best of my knowledge as I'm not a CIC insider, but I'm pretty certain about Lazimpat office as that's where my wife's been calling for her PPR and that's where she'll be dropping her passport and picking it up when it comes back from ND. They definitely will have a record of your PPR if your mailing address is in Nepal.

By the way, did you receive your PPR through email or was it a regular mail? Was it send to a Nepali address or US address?

Also, if there are people from Nepal on this board, please jump in and give us your understanding. Because of Canadian Cooperation Office in Kathmandu acting as an intermediary between ND VO and applicant, our procedures and timelines are a little different than an Indian applicant who gets a mail directly from VO in ND.

I know it's easier said than done, but please try not to panic. Instead call 977-1-4415192 and ask them if they do interviews and if they have your PPR in their file.

I have not called Canadian Cooperation Office in kathmandu...I guess i will try calling them today...I work from 6 in the morning..so the time difference is a problem too...my husband tried calling CIC New Delhi today..man man...they act like the diamond is going to fall from their mouth if they open it...lol...my husband said that he asked if it was ok to send the passport..and the lady in the front desk said "Oh! I cannot answer, You have to write an email and it will be answered within a month or so.".....anyways..i don't believe that they are going to answer...so let me try canadian aid office in nepal... As for the PPR....I received it in USA through regular mail....

It asks to pay Landing fee, if not paid, send police clearance reports, if not submitted...and send original passport.

And it says Passports cannot be returned to addresses outside of India, Nepal and Bhutan..

Basically that means, they won't be sending me passport back to US rather would send it to Nepal....so I have to send them my parent's address along with the passport....

Thanks.. you said it right.. I never ever thought it would take 97 days.. but hopefully Feb batch will be faster, since last week the number of days on CIC website decreased.. and hopefully it will decrease more.. I hope you won't get to experience the horror of 97 days as I did...
 
Good Luck People!

Lets hope the whole system works faster...it is just too frustrating to wait...and more frustrating to realize that there is nothing you could do even though you would love to try harder and do much better....and one more thing....I think CIC should just hire someone to sit down and write emails to all the queries......specially ND office needs one....Anyways all we can do is hope and wish for the best right????SO lets keep hoping for the best.....

Just hope CIC will increase its budget and hire more at least during hardtime. CIC employees are getting caught wiping their a?? with application paper ;) :P

Wool hoo! Congrats the new approvals! Such an amazing feeling "eh" ;D


I've updated the spreadsheet.... Active members please look it over if there is any correction I need to make pls let me know...I go mostly by the posts as not everyone PM me.

It's easy to fix though so let me know if you see anything wonky.


The approval date column is the day you get your passport back in hand...there is nothing more official than that :)
