anyone (retottal,neemann, KaviVenk and others) willing to contact ND VO regarding change in mailing address or email address, you must try to send them FAX also. i heard from someone that they dont take emails and case specific enquiry seriously but you should try all possible methods.
best of luck :)

Hi,
I have sent an application for my husband who currently resides in USA on his H1 Visa. Because he has been there for over a year we had requested the application be processed through the Buffalo office. However when I got my sponsor approval they said the file has been transferred to New Delhi (he is a citizen of India). Is this a problem because the forms were completed for USA. Also where will he have to send his passport? How will he send his passport to New Delhi? Any help is appreciated.
Thank You!

if his file has been transferred to new delhi, he will receive PPR soon because new delhi request passport right after file transfer. he can ask ND to request his passport at a later stage when his visa is ready to issue. he needs to ask ND to change his mailing address to Indian address so he can receive his passport back after getting visa. ND doesnt send passports outside of India, nepal and bhutan. when he gets PPR at a later stage, he is supposed to go to India or send his passport with someone else visiting India, sending indian passport over boarder is illegal. some applicants sent their passport to ND from other countries but i dont know, how did they do that.
hope it helps :)

You are all set for the review. That is a good news indeed. That means they dont need anything from your side at this point. You other checks must be on going right now and i think it will be matter of just days now that your BFD (bring forward date) will come and they will make a decision. Initial review and a final review can be possible at the same time if its very clear that the application is a slam dunk. They consider time when they assign bring forward dates to the files. as you a 13 feb applicant and your file transfer was June 6, IT will be matter of days that you shall see a DM straight on Ecas.

I know its hard, but you need to be patient. Always remember, NO news from CIC ND is good news as well. Apply for notes right now, so that you can have them in 31 days from today. This will cover you if in case the case is not done in a month, but I think you shall get a DM in next 15 days.

Try to take it easy.

dont wait for sponsorship approval letter, they just update on ecas but never send ;) hope you receive your PPR soon
best of luck :)
Well wait, No . They will send you something. Either an EMAIL or a Snail MAil letter. IF you have not got the Email on that date which they say they sent a letter then You WILL get a snail mail. Its a requirement for CPC - M to inform the Sponsor of the approval of sponsorship in Written.

Make sure to check your inbox/spam box to see if might have it there.. if you are sure its not there then you should get a letter in the mail. IT can take 15-20 days for the snail mail to arrive sometimes. But , the good news is that you are approved for step 1! so its okay.

they finished 50 % cases in 4 months, 70% in 6 months and 80% in 7 months.

And btw, as per New Delhi office website - http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde...

Sponsored Spouses, Partners, and Children

Processing times for these applications are calculated from the date on which the application is accepted by Case Processing Centre - Mississauga.

So, lets say there were 10 - Jan,2012 applicants - out of them

5 will be approved by May,12
2 will be approved by July,12
1 will be approved by Aug,12

the remaining 2 can take however long..

Similarly if there were 30 - Feb,2012 applications - out of them

15 will be approved by June,12
6 will be approved by Aug,12
3 will be approved by Sept,12

Now obviously this is the case when Mississauga is not causing additional delays, this Jan there time got increased by at least a month or so- which can explain water fall effect delays for all Jan,Feb, so on ... applicants.

this extra time should be added to the above calculations and going back to the e.g of Feb applicants would now be like:

30 - Feb,2012 applications - out of them

15 will be approved by July,12
6 will be approved by Sept,12
3 will be approved by Oct,12


similarly

10 - Jan,2012 applicants - out of them

5 will be approved by June,12
2 will be approved by Aug,12
1 will be approved by Sept,12

I suspect the same for Feb, majority will be July-august(15 out of 30)

Cheers!

What you all think??
