I have been a silent observer of this forum for the past year. Even though I haven't posted, I read this forum countless times and have gotten really helpful information from it about my husband's PR application. The information you have all posted has been so helpful, so I wanted to thank you. My husband finally received his shiny new visa on Friday, and we are flying to Toronto on April 17! It's been a long and difficult process, with a total wait of 13 months and 6 days from the receipt of application in Mississauga to our receipt of the visa. The process was slightly complicated by the fact that my husband is a Tibetan refugee, so has a different set of identity and travel documents. His Canadian visa process was delayed by the fact that he had to wait for the Indian government to issue his Identity Certificate (which is what he uses for a passport); it took the Indian government about a year to do that. If there are any Tibetans on this forum applying for spousal sponsorship, I'm happy to answer questions about our process. For the rest of you, here is our timeline:

Application Received: February 22, 2013
Sponsorship Approved: March 21, 2013
PP Request: April 26, 2013. (This is where our delay took place, because we had to wait until the end of September 2013 until my husband received his travel documents.)
Request for interview: December 17, 2013
Interview Date: February 5, 2014 (We passed the interview - a gruelling 1.5 hours. The interview questions that have been posted on this forum were very accurate and useful for our interview preparation. My husband was advised at the interview that he needed to re-do his medical exam.)
Medical exam renewed: February 28, 2014
Decision Made: March 24, 2014
Visa Received: March 28, 2014

The thing that I've learned about this process is that there is no trick or magic formula: you just need patience. The process felt impossible at times, and the most frustrating part of it is that there is no way to contact anyone in the visa office to ask questions or confirm receipt of documents. You just feel like you're sitting in this black hole. But for those of you still waiting for your visa, just be confident that your turn will come! Best of luck to you all!

Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your case, it is difficult to wait such a long time to be with the person we love. As for us, we also had to wait about 2 years to received the indian passeport of my partner (long story, we had to apply 2 times) before we apply residency. Effectively, the patience will always get recompensed, and the couple will grow stronger and stronger day by days, and this will stay for the rest of our lives. Patience is the key, have faith...

I don't think you have to submit PCC for countries where you have lived less than 6 months....it took me almost a year to get some response from NDVO (interview required) and some people are still waiting longer than me to hear anything from NDVO...so it might not be your Singapore PCC that is causing delay...did you apply for notes? if it in process then you may not have an interview.

hello all,

I have applied for my wife in January 2014. See my timeline.

I know that they will not be asking her passport till later on the process. I was thinking of meeting my wife in England for 1-2 weeks in July 2014. Is there any issue for her to travel outside India for holiday?

I need to submit my PCC as it is expiring end of april. Please advice.. how can I send it? Is there any Jan'14 applicant recieve AOR from New delhi yet? Please Advice. Thanks

Hello

Welcome to the forum.
Dont worry its normal after they transferred your file to NDVO. When did they transfer your file to NDVO? You will receive a letter for pcc and fees from NDVO if you havent send those originals with the application. You can join in this thread (New Delhi 2014) and add your timeline on the spreadsheet new delhi 2014.

Hi Guys and gals,

I am very glad to let you know that my wife has landed in Montreal last night. I was with her through every step. We hit the immigration during dinner time and there was slow action. As usual they were very courteous and my wife is happy.

Not sure when will the ecas change to landed?
Also where and when can I check the status of PR card?

Thanks,

Aww congratulations that she has landed in Montreal. Finally you guys are together and be happy always! You can check other thread about PR card and she will receive PR card within 3 months. Good luck in the future with your wife. God bless!
