23 hours, the stops are pretty quick. Prices go up dramatically when you only have one stop. Plus he isn't traveling with kids, so who cares if it is two stops. I did the trip from India to Canada with a 1 year old and a 3 year old. So traveling solo with 2 stops would be like heaven for me. LOL

I keep forgetting that not everyone has traveled as often. I consider myself a seasoned traveler (been to about 20 countries), and I personally love airports and flying (before kids..lol). It can be a bit stressful, but I think finding your way around to the gates is less stressful once you are there in the airport.
My husband said he is excited to see two countries airports. LOL.
I know the Dubai airport and Heathrow airport in London like the back of my hand.

But for those not wanting to pay over $1500 for air tickets, 2 stops might be mandatory.

Where do you find flights? I like to think I have some good flight researching skills and never saw that price at all. I just did a quick search and flights from Ahmedabad-Toronto with 2 stops were $950 (taxes included).
Just curious where you are looking, because that is a good price.

Hi
I am new to this forum but it looks like the perfect one for us . I got married in March and my husband is a PR in Canada.We applied for spousal visa in June 2013 and today I have got a mail from New Delhi visa office asking me to send my passport. Can anyone please let me know what is the best and the safest way to send my passport to New Delhi. Also how long does it normally take for the visa to get processed after they ask for the passport? We are eagerly waiting for it!!!

Hello Everyone,

As you all know me and james are maintaining the spreadsheet. We try our best to keep it updated inspite of our schedules. Recently we saw few members showing interest in becoming admin for the sheet so that we will have more members updating sheet if we are not available or busy. Jk45 you had shown interest and we are awaiting for your message.

If there is anyone interested please send me and James.007 a Personal Message we will add them as admin to the sheet.

We currently have 3 members (myself,James.007,mickey) but mickey is away for sometime now. So we kindly request two more members to volunteer.

So that we have total of 4-5 admins. Please note it will be good to have members who submitted the application from May onwards so that Jan-Mar applicants who are getting their visa these days might not be active in forum regularly.

Myself,James,Mickey are - April,March,Feb respectively.

hey prasamp please count me in as well as I want to help too. I don't mind updating the sheet and I am active all the time.

Welcome!!
The safest way to send the passport is through a good courier service (Blue Dart, DHL).
it's hard to predict processing times right now as there is a Canadian diplomatic strike happening right now which are affecting the New Delhi Visa Office, among many others around the world.
For instance, my husband sent his passport on May 1st and he just received his visa last week. So about 3.5 months after sending his passport. For others it has been a much longer wait. Some have been waiting 4 and 5 months since they sent their passport. I have heard a lot of people here saying it's usually 120 days after you send the passport (but this is when the visa office is functioning at full capacity).

But I do not want to discourage you. This is a great group of people, who will keep you motivated and positive throughout the process.

Good luck and wish you a speedy process.

how do we get pp back with visa..?
speed post or courier?

 

[Priyankita]

Thank you so much!!
I am aware of the strike going on since June It was making us really worried about our case as we were waiting to get the file no since 2 months now. Luckily though, after a long wait today we got the file no!! but now that we have, we are really relieved ( and overjoyed) to know our file is actually getting processed ...
Hopefully its not a very very long wait for us !!!
