NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[ramkris]

Hi Guys,

Do I have to change the indian address on the e-cas now? Because my husband is in India and he is mailing the passports. On the ecas I have my Canadian address still. I am bit worried if NDVO would send the passports to canada instead of my husband who is in India. Thank you guys

when u r checking e-cas which client id you are entering your client-id or your husbands client-id . coz ur client id displays your canadian address where as ur husbands client id displays indian address. if both are displaying same canadian address then mail to delhi-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca with sub change of Address and send them. It will change on e-cas after 25 to 30 days. you can also refer to present address u filled in family information form,

Wow guys! Thank you for all your responses

We are so much delighted with your speech Desi-Girl​

You are so sweet Abhishek. Thanks! Good luck for a speedy processing of your wife's application.

Aww bravo for your awesome speech!!!
Well said desi girl! im so proud of you to be here like us and the support too. Cant forget this 2013 we have been here for longer. you will be kicked out soon too hehe. thanks so much for the wishes tooo! You are so sweet for that. God bless youu!

Thank you SN0206, you are very kind and helpful too . I love the positive energy on this forum and sometimes I get swept up in it too. Being here really boosts my morale. I really hope that we all will be kicked out of here sooner than later. Hope you get your shiny visa soon too.

Speech is awesome and decent so far
Congrats for completing 1000 posts ;D

Wishing you a lots of good luck and speedy process of your application

Thanks Kejal, for your wishes. I can't believe it myself that I made it to 1000+ posts. Good luck with your processing and I hope you get your visa very soon too

very well said without one 'OMG'....you are special helping people with your suggestions and with maintaining spreadsheet and other things and for that we thank you....wish you all the best....

Thanks waiting 2 exhale. I am saving my OMGs for when I get IP, then DM and then the ultra-shiny visa in my hand . I try to keep tabs on NDVO's good news to keep up the positivism that work is being done by NDVO and our applications are being processed. And also, it is nice to be organized with lists, to know where we stand and what we should be expecting in the near future

congratulations gurl how does it feel to become a champion member... ;D very well written and all the best for your application wishing loads of good luck :-*

Thanks Myrah dear . It feels nice to be a Champion member and it is nicer to know that I am a larger part of the forum in making positive differences by helping (or trying to help) everyone who have questions and trying my best to keep up the spirit.

All of your responses made my day. I was not able to mention each and everyone who has made a large contribution to the forum in my speech (sorry about that, but there are too many of you to list who have given me lots of positive energy when I was feeling down or otherwise). Thank you once again ;D ;D ;D

I am August applicant and getting a bit worried now because

1. My wife is 8 months older than me (as per passport/birth certificate). My DOB was changed when I was kid, don't ask why :-[
2. After marriage we did not get the name change done for my wife (to avoid delay in immigration)
3. Instead of sending photocopy of birth certificate, I sent a copy of birth Certificate taken from phone camera :'(
(I forget to carry photocopy/original while coming back to canada)
4. We did not have reception, I am planning to do it in canada after my wife arrives

Does anyone know if this can cause any issue/delay in our file?

While, I believe we have provided more than enough proof which includes (bio-data shared between parents, emails, birthday ecard, phone calls, bbm/facebook complete chat history, fb pictures, invitation card of DJ and marriage, boarding pass and tickets, bills during time of engagement/marriage, bill from first night at taj, honeymoon bill n boarding passes, travel tickets to temple in small village, around 200 pics which includes pics from engagement, dj, marriage, honeymoon)

I have recently applied. I dont think the 8 months age gap should matter. My wife is almost 15 months older to me. Looking at the proof you have given, it is pretty solid. Reception is a formality. Dont worry about it so much. Although we spent about 3 months adding my name on my wife's passport, when I look back now, I wish I had applied earlier. So dont bother about the passport name change issue.

Alhamdulillah, Praise the Lord, May you get an IP as soon as God will's.

Good news!! Got a request to deposit the passport immediately so that the landing in Canada can be before the medicals expire. The same passport was given to us after the interview and we were confused, and disappointed. I guess yesterday was a good day for us. Good Luck to all who are waiting.

i also have same situation, when will you medical expire ?

[waiting 2 exhale]

is there any effect on file. if we keep sending emails to vo

I sent case specific inquiry regarding my passport request 4 times and I got responses within 15 days 2 times. Sending numerous times does not have any impact as far as I know. I don't think NDVO is vindictive it is just that they are incompetent. And I wish they blacklist me so that they will at least see who is this character who is bothering us so much then they will realize that nothing has been started vis a vis my file. And that might have prompted them to take action to open the file.

 

[waiting 2 exhale]

As the Canadian Privacy Act prevents the release of personal information to unauthorized individuals, we cannot reply to case-specific enquiries without the signed authorization of the person to whom the file pertains. Even sponsors of persons who applied under the Family Class must have the written authorization of the applicant before our office can release information to them from their family member's file. Currently, there is no such authorization in your name. Therefore, we cannot provide any personal information to you.
I think they are not doing anything that's why they don't want to tell anything
reply from vo

I sent 4 inquires from sponsored email address and 3 from sponsor email address. Sponsored emails got answered and no acknowledgement of whatsoever for sponsor emails. Of the 2 that sponsored response to sponsored email, one said 'your file waiting for review' and other one said ' we cannot release information to you.... only to your authorized representative' ...go figure...

Man so many interview calls with no apparant reason. Once they go into full swing with June can we assume all remain May applicants are infact queued for interviews?

according to my lawyer, Asian visa offices do quality check to prevent fraud just to check if the application data entered matches with information provided by the applicant...

 

[Gsingh88]

I have a question, when we send passport to ndvo for visa. Do we have to send old cancelled passport too ??
We got last name changed for my wife after marriage. So they issued her new passport and cancelled the old one. But we only submitted new passport.

Got my GCMS note today cant find medical expiry date :

Doesn't matter what you have to send all the old passport u have.

These lawyers will say anything to keep the customers from bothering them too much. My feeling is almost all data is entered in the computer system by CPC-M. So pulling applicants randomly for interviews seems far fetched and no where else in Canadian immigration system or their operational bulletins did we hear about this.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks,

Yes, you have to submit all your old passports. Maybe you can wait and see if NDVO asks for the old passports.
