I have added you to the spreadsheet. Your sponsorship approval has taken a long time compared to others with similar timeline, was there any specific reason for that?
After your application is forwarded to New Delhi it can take upto 10 months. Did you try contacting your MP or order GCMS notes.
All the best to get your visa soon.

office ,"This application was received at our office on 22Sep12 and is currently awaiting initial review, following which we will contact the applicant directly to advise of any additional information or action required."

In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following:

Please provide explanation, why you failed to declare the information on your current application for PR in Canada that your previous application submitted in the year 1997, under the adoption category was refused and also when a call was made to you on February 14, 2013 by our office ? .It appears that you have deliberately withheld material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in processing of your application.

Before a decision is made in your case, I am providing you with the opportunity to comment on the above concern or provide any observation or explanation in writing. You have 30 days from the date of this letter to reply.

If you choose not to respond with additional information, of if the new information forwarded by you is not satisfactory, a decision will be made based on the information in your file...

Letter Dated : 25th February 2013
Letter Received : 26th March 2013....

I responded my reply and sent the package and it will be delivered on March 28th 2013. I never received any call from ND office on 14th Feb 2013 and have included my call logs for the February month.

My wife never filed PR under adoption category in the year 1997.

Comments welcome as whats going on with my case......Thanks

Hey tahsinmohammed, its sad to see the response from NDVO even after your file went Inprocess but ensure this once again from your spouse living in India that whether she has ever applied for adoption category before applying for Spousal sponsorship PR and once got refused because once they start principal applicant's processing then her Given Name, Surname, Date of birth, Photos, Address and her UCI number that has provided for all her future correspondence with the immigration will come under scanner and during this situation if some thing hidden in observation or explanation then chances of approval rate is very low so please make sure that your file is at final stage for Decision so providing genuine clarification at this time will put an positive impact in your case.

All about BF'D :

BF'D is an acronym for "Bring Forward Date" in the Canadian PR processing system. Usually our file moves from BF'D to BF'D, as it is the day/date next earmarked by our VO to check our file. This actually serves to eliminate unnecessary clogging of the system... that if there is nothing further to add in a particular file, the VO moves to another case file to work on, rather than holding onto the same one.

What happens on a BF'D
In simple terms it is the date that the file will be looked at [again], assessed, reviewed by your case handling officer at the CHC. S/he will check if anything is lacking, any further queries to be made [to you], any documents to be asked or if any decisive action is to be made/taken. Basically it serves as a 'Reminder Tool' to the case processing officer & that your file is not 'forgotten'.

Now, if the VO observes that something is lacking [that which was asked for], s/he will probably attempt to contact you on this BF'D day and mark another BF'D on your file. This depends on the subject of check [the all time phrase 'Case-to-Case' basis]. Sometimes, if the check report warrants, the VO might not give you another opportunity and take a decisive action. Note: The situation is fluid & no one can really provide a sanguine comment on it.

Will the file be 'only' looked at a BF'D
No. If something like reports, results, documents etc. [eg. background/security checks] comes to the CHC in between, your file gets opened and assessed. However, if nothing is received in between, you get another BF'D. Note once again: If they are waiting for something and it comes as expected then the file continues to be processed further, if not then the file will be next reviewed on the BFD 'only'.

An Example
Every time we get a letter/email from the CHC -it carries a 'time limit' to submit something, right? Say 45 days, 60 days or 90 days... the ending day of that time limit is our next BF'D. As an example, if the CHC sent you a medical request [alongwith the forms] on 02 Jan 2010; and it carries a 60 day's deadline -it means your file has been marked with the next BF'D of 01 Mar 2010.

However, if your medical results are received before the BF'D [01 Mar 2010], say on 05 Feb 2010 -your file will be further processed on that day itself [05 Feb 2010]. If the med results didn't come by earlier, then it will be opened on 01 Mar 2010 -the BF'D day.

How many BF'Ds we get
Some BF'Ds are 'routine', as exampled above. Then there are some which is either case generated or because of us. By 'case generated' I mean, [eg.] if one's Security Report is pending from an external agency -the VO gives a BF'D & waits. If the report comes in time, action is taken. If it doesn't, one gets another BF'D. And the situation continues...

By 'because of us'* I mean if the VO had asked us for a document [or a couple of them]. It is wise that we proceed to submit the document/s asap. Reason? The case moves faster [read: it'll open before the BF'D]. If we don't, s/he may try to contact us on the BF'D day & log another BF'D on our file [result: Delay/s].

Delays due to BF'Ds
As stated above, except the 'routine' ones, other BF'Ds do delay our process. At the least [best scenario] each BF'D would be a month apart. Some might be more. The ideal action on our part is to submit anything that has been asked for asap. That would negate a BF'D. However, there can be times that something we just might not be able to send asap. In that case we 'must' send it by the 'deadline' -that'd avoid another BF'D, won't it?

*Many Consultants [so called agents] erroneously advise us otherwise. Stating, "Oh you got the meds, don't worry you have time till 60 days to do it". That's a 'bull'. I'd advise -do it asap, if the speed of your case process matters to you.

This post I chose to write 'coz many members are either clueless about the BF'D issue or take it lightly. Which, albeit causes delays [without our actual intention]. Moreover, there are repeated queries on the subject in various threads. I hope this helped...

@ legalcitizen thanks for the info.
First of all I haven't got my visa yet bt I am hopeful abt it. I had a successful interview last month and was asked to submit fresh medical and pcc (these were the only things holding up my visa) I mailed to these documents to nd two weeks ago.
I was just wondering how much luggage I can carry with me .
I ll be departing from new delhi and have to land toronto. So when the right time comes I would probably be flying with jet airways.
