NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[CMR]

Response from ND Embassy regarding my son's passport and citizenship certificate :

The total processing time for the issuance of a citizenship certificate from Canada, is currently 10-12 months and the certificate can either be mailed via our office in India, or sent directly to a Canadian/foreign mailing address.

If there is need to travel in the interim, you may simultaneously apply for a Canadian passport for the child (see www.india.gc.ca), provided that the child is less than 2 years of age. Passport services cannot be given without a citizenship application having been filed at our office; children's names are not endorsed on a parent's passport. Besides the required passport application form (PPTC042), a supplementary PPTC116 form must be completed by the applying parent; a copy is attached to this message. Part A of the attached PPTC445 form is to be completed by parent(s) holding Canadian citizenship. Documented reason for requesting passport issuance in the absence of the citizenship certificate (paid proof of travel that shows child's full name, visa requirement such as copy of non-Canadian parent's Canadian visa, etc.) must also be provided. The child's passport will be issued in 20 working days of receipt of the completed passport application. In the absence of the proof of citizenship, a limited validity passport will be issued. You will need to apply for an Indian visa for the child, after receipt of his/ her Canadian passport

Hello Tahsin,

Thank you for the info. In Hong Kong, they said both parents need to be present at Delhi while applying for the Citizenship Cert & Passport, which means a travel will be required to Delhi, which is okay. I'm based in Hong Kong/China but the processing centre I chose was New Delhi. Big Mistake! It's so efficient here and almost everyone gets their visa in around six months while their avg processing time is nine months. They also process non-Chinese passports quicker.

My due date falls in September. Are you in the same boat as me? What's your story?

My wife filed for my application at Mississauga office in October 2013 and my file was transferred in November I suppose because it is saying application received 10th nov 2013.
My concern is that they still haven't asked for my passport is there a problem?
Wat I can think is that they send me an auto generated email asking for application receipt and pcc if not already given and I didn't send them thinking that there is no need to as I have already given.
This can't be the reason for not asking for my passport?

Plz help.

Hi Chatwant,

In my case, wen i had received auto generated mail for application receipt and pcc , i did case specific inquiry thru the CIC website to know what exactly needs to be sent.
So in reply, they said, u need to send passports.
After that, in package, i sent the copy of PCC and application receipt which i had sent with the application also and my passports.
Till date, there was no specific mail from CIC on passport request.
I think, you can send your passport in few days. CIC will add it to ur application package.

my interview was on tuesday and by friday they asked me to do medical..you will hear from their lordship soon..congratulations...

Yes W2E..the same thing was coming in my mind that i will hear from them by the end of this week...

One thing..they haven't asked for your passport as you require it for your remdical... VO gave my passport back for the remedical..she said that you will be requiring it for the remedical.

yup...wht abt ur medical..? is it expired..?

The date on my wife's medical shows "May 13, 2013", but when I did MP inquiry my MP said "your medicals are good until June 13, 2014". Which means NDVO already extended it for a month???

Hey guys..
for those who have doubt with the PPR.
I am a dec 2013 applicant.
I did get a electronic generated mail to send PCC and fee.
I do however sent the photocopies (not attested) along with ORIGINAL PASSPORT ( took a risk here) - through courier (Bluedart) to Delhi Immigration office.

I also sent a mail after that saying we had sent the requested potocopies along with ORIGINAL PASSPORT (Wife + kid).
After 1.5 months, they did sent a reply saying they have added in the file of ours (little relaxed).

so who ever didnt get a PPR , nothing wrong in sending or u can just wait for the offical mail with your time line.
hope this helps.

cheers !

I see.
But why are you waiting for your wife's PR to apply for your son's passport? Is that necessary?
you could have applied for Citizenship Cert & sons PP together, but why didn't you?

 

[chatwant]

Thanks ppl for ur replies.I don't know about the mp thingh and secondly how to order notes and send them an email.Can u please provide me with the mail I'd and how to address them.
Thirdly sending them an email won't have an adverse effect on my case?
Is it correct that nowadays they are asking for an passport at the later stages?

 

[cpan25]

hope tomorrow will b gud day...

Lets be very positive...now we are almost there Mrs. Sandhu. Hope that NDVO will work to maximum possible level of efficiency and give all of us visas soon! Amen

I left my cell phone in the hotel but I think you can leave your phone with security (my interpreter left his and waited for sometime for someone to show up since it was lunch time) but he came inside with bagpack. I took complete application and supporting documents nothing originals. No I did not take degrees with me since it is not required (only thing they wanted to see is my passport and PR card). Time taken depends on the visa officer..can range from 10 minutes (if interview is done for QA purpose) or longer about 2 hours in my case (because an interpreter was used)...good luck...

i know english well but still to answer or explain smthng cn i req a interpreter? like can i tell them that if i want i will ask or else i wont?
