NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[NAKSA1521]

so how does one answer questions that are considered as red flags..for example I see you have tried for tourist visa twice and they were rejected..this shows you want to settle there permanently through legal/illegal means...why should I approve your PR visa? I see your wife is older than you. Why did you marry a much older canadian PR holder?

I read somewhere that applying for trv after marriage and getting rejection make case look more genuine and visa officer might think that both applicant and sponsor wants to reunite quickly, I applied and got rejected twice, I even mentioned that we want to celebrate our honeymoon and my birthday and showed them my two way ticket, National Parks booking and reservation tickets, my job commitments etc, but I got rejected because visa officers wants us to apply for PR from home country, when we have a chance to go as a PR holder, why apply for TRV...also there is one question in immigration form that have you ever visit your sponsor to Canada, I used this as opportunity to express why I got rejected so I wrote and blamed NDVO that I tried to get tourist visa to celebrate our honeymoon but I got rejected by NDVO...

Moreover sponsor questionnaire forms mention that " On a separate sheet of paper, provide any additional details of your current relationship that you believe would help you to prove your relationship is genuine and continuing".....I again used this as an opportunity and wrote how we met,dates of engagement,marriage,reception,wants to celebrate honeymoon so applied to TRV as PR takes more time, got rejected and applying to PR now, future plans, etc etc.....my sponsor showed this to lawyer there and lawyer got pretty impressed with this stuff !!

Regarding age difference, I dont have any issues with it as my sponsor is 3 years younger to me, I guess its normal age range, to tackle this question you need to reply in humor and make them understand that age is just a number, like so what many celebrities in India got married with big age difference like Dilip kumar-saira banu (above 20 years), Abhishek-Ashwariya(2 years) Sachin-Anjali and many more, I will say that when I saw and talked with him/her, we realize that our thoughts, like-dislikes are very similar to each others and we decided to goahead with this relationship....I hope this help to you...

They call for interview even if there was no Honeymoon I was in India for 3 weeks for my wedding and I didn't go for honeymoon, i have also mentioned in the application that i was in india for a short period and didnt get chance to go. crap!

Thats ok, I did the same, I mentioned that due to short vacation and my spouse had to resume the job, thats why we didnt have a chance to go for the honeymoon..

Most just go from IP to DM in a week to 10 days. Who knows except NDVO why mine is taking this long. hope mine is not lost in the pile accumulating dust.

Dont worry. You will surely hear good news soon. They may call you to fly before medicals expire. Keep up the hope and be positive. Wish you a speedy DM!

can anyone please let me know how to do an MP enquiry. How to find out which MP office we are supposed to contact?

You can find out who your MP is through this website and contact your MP or email to do an inquiry to NDVO.

Here is the link to find your MP after you put your postal code. All the best!

Hi

My ecas still shows "We have received your application for PR on 26th July 2013" but i did MP enquiry on the end of Jan and according to him NDVO got my file on 22 August 2013, now I'm confused that am i july applicant or august applicant? I got PPR on 19 Sept and passport submitted on 25 sept, I didn't get any updates on my ecas yet, Please help me..

Best Regards

Hi, yes it can be confusing. But you sent application in July to CIC Mississauga so you are a July applicant. And your MP is correct to say that NDVO got your application in August as it takes 1 month to get sponsor approval. Since July is just starting, it will take a few weeks for you to hear any updates on ECAS.

Hi can someone here tell me how to make a MP enquiry? Email, phone call or in person???

You can try any of the mentioned routes. Just depends on convenience.
