do v need to inform CIC in travel history form if someone has travelled out of India just for a week?

Have anyone phoned NDVO from Canada. I just want to call them to verify my applicant e-mail ID phone and address.I haven't received PPR yet so. My file was transferred on feb 20 2013 to NDVO. Anyone in this forum 2013 Jan 28 applicants not received PPR. My wife have travel history. She was in Thailand 2007-2012 July sometimes she have been to south korea for conference. I have included travel history and have included photocopy of her passport paper so did mentioned in travel history form too.

Any thoughts, ideas suggestion on this situation.
My wife (in India) tried calling NDVO. But it was a recorded message that told her if her file is already with NDVO, the only way to contact them to provide info is via email.

Hi julyashar

I am in the same situation. My file was transferred on 26th feb and haven't received the PPR yet.
I have ordered GCMS notes yesterday. Now have to wait for another 1 month to receive it back and see what's happening with my file.
I don't have any travel history.
Hi bhar,
It will be very helpful it u will explain how to order gcms.
My husband had filled online form with fee but that is by him on my behalf.
Any other formality?

Email Received from MP's Office - For Those who dont know how the MP Inquiry Process Unfolds:


I am now in a position to request a status update with CIC on your spousal sponsorship file. FYI, this is how the process unfolds: I will be requesting said status update from CIC in country today (Friday, May 24) Once my request is in, CIC has three business days to get back to me. I deal with the CIC agent on the phone, we cross-reference the file and the agent reads the on-file processing notes to me; I then report to you. In the event that I find the notes not informative enough, my next step is to request a status update directly from the relevant visa office, in this case New Delhi, usually through email. It is up the visa office to answer me in a timely manner and I never deal directly with the visa officer specifically in charge of your file.

I must advise that this office has no power to request that any application be fast-tracked or expedited.

Your wife's passport must be ready to be stamped, and it looks like that's the case for my wife's file as well. We have very similar application dates and in process dates.

I checked eCas today and they've now added the Canadian address to my wife's file. The file is still in process, but I'm assuming it'll go to decision made within a couple of days since the address change is a very a good sign.

Hi Skrashi,

I ordered GCMS Notes on behalf of my husband using online tool and attached the consent form (IMM5744E.pdf) signed by my husband in the request.
Din't do any other formality.

Our time line till now -

Application made on : November 26, 2012

Received : November 28, 2012

Sponsorship Approval : February 24, 2013

PPR : March 9, 2013 (My wife replied to the email saying that she was in Canada on visitor visa and will be back in third week of April 2013)

Passport submitted : April 24, 2013


No contact from CIC after that. At this point, I will add that towards the end of March 2013, my mother-in-law (alternative phone number on application) got a call from CIC asking for my wife. The lady from CIC told that they needed the passport submitted ASAP. MIL told that she was in Canada and would be back in 3rd week of April and information has already been conveyed by her via reply to CIC's email. The CIC lady kept the phone down without saying anything else.

My deductions till now :
1) CIC operates in "silos" - Inter-department communication is poor. Hence, the department tracking emails probably hasn't conveyed proper information ahead to another department that is responsible for phone follow ups.

2) CIC made a spurt of PPR requests sometime around 9th March 2013. Based on many entries in the google spreadsheet, I can see that many different applications received on different dates have had PPRs sent out on 9th March - 4 in total currently (compared to something like only 1 sent on 8th March). Of the four PPRs listed, we have atleast 3 confirmed completed applications. (green shade)

3) Applicants who applied as far up as 25th December have completed applications. Contrast that to many others who are many months behind that figure even though, potentially, they have equally good applications / proofs.


Our case most closely resembles "jainanchal's" case. Same application date, sponsorship date, PPR date etc. I congratulate her on her completed application and visa.

Let's see how things pan out for us. Waiting......
