For us, I think the best way to pass this stage is to have patience . If we are right on our side, there is nothing that can stop us. Though, each and every individual has a different circumstance, yet everybody can do in common is to learn to be patient from this period. What worse can happen now is they can only delay, and that too, not more than a year.
But we pray to God to accomplish our application without hurdles..

True that! But they really screwd me up... Asked for the RCMP fingerprint clearance which they don't usually do. I got my prints taken in India and digitalised in India and got the clearance.. The VO did not accept it (even though there are several cases where it has been) so I am doing the IDENTICAL clearance again only by a muchh longer route.. I'll be lucky if I get my DM in June end! It's an unnecessary wait and it's getting to me... Gonna miss our first anniversary and have already spent more than half our relationship as a long distance relationship...
Bah! So (thanks to this forum) I know that I'm not alone but it still sucks that it takes sooo long and they are totally uncommunicative...

Hello All,

Need some opinions.....

My application has completed 9 months from the date of sending the passport to the CHC-New Delhi,
The 10 month maximum period of processing my visa, as advertised on the CHC website, will get over by
May 13th 2013.

Time Frame:

My application was filed on March 29th 2012,
Sponsorship was approved on June 29th 2012,
Got Passport request on July 13th 2012,
Passport reached the CHC New Delhi on July 19th 2012.
Medicals and Police certificate were pre-submitted at the time of filing the application.
No communication thereafter until February 2013,
Got request for re-doing Medicals and Police certificate on February 23rd 2013, since the previous ones
expired.(valid for 1yr only), Passport was also sent along with the request.
Resent the package - passport, proof of medical completion, police certificate on March 14th 2013,
Package was delivered on March 15th 2013.

thats it, its been over a month, nothing still.
ecas shows: - In Process
"We received your application for permanent residence on March 29, 2012.
We started processing your application on February 22, 2013.
Medical results have been received."

we got our GCMS notes on Feb 6th 2013 (before getting the request for redoing the medicals and others), notes imply, eligibility and criminality has not been started yet, rest OK ,
the notes also mentions that my husband had sponsored his parents too, they were sponsored a year or before our marriage, but their sponsorship's were rejected on July 2012.

Now, I'm getting impatient with less than a month left for the 10-month time frame to get over,

as i see, there are 3 options left:
1. Contacting the MP.
2. Contacting (Visiting) the Canadian Embassy - New Delhi in Person.
3. Ordering for the New GCMS notes again - 5$ (takes 30 days)

Now my husband is bit hesitant / not hopeful in contacting the MP, fearing it might cause more delay,
please let me know if its true.
also if there are any other options other than waiting,
I'm not sure, if they would stamp the visa in 20 days (from today) or have already done it or in process of doing it.

I seriously want to get a solution to this, had enough of waiting.
Does sponsoring more than 1 member of the family, at same instances, might be the reason for delay?
or it is a reasonable time frame for normal applications.

Replies are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot and Best Wishes to All.

I doubt.. They see SO many files in a day it must be difficult for them to remember the names!
Let's just hope that God is kind to us really soon :)

Dear All,

Thanks for the timely information of the medicals. I completed the medicals yesterday( without original passport and Medical Request letter). They accepted the Attested photocopy of mine and kids passoport and the PPR request letter to do the medicals.Post the medicals they have given me two Medical Reports for myself and the kid: Sec A Client Identification and Summary , Which they have asked me to send to NDVO.

My question is Should I send the Forms in the same address that I have send my passports?

My second question is:

Can some one help me in initiating a GCMS note. I had seen the posts but I could not find any link but I'm sure there was one which was getting circulated.

Muksi/Chd12/Sidhu,

Do you people have it ? Can you send it to me. Is there any fee to initiate a GCMS Note? When is the right time that my husband can start initiating the GCMS note? Is the Visa process gets delayed if one initiates GCMS note ?

I require your help and information so that we can start doing some action on the visa front.

Thanks and Regards,
Sally.

Hi ,
