NEW DELHI - 2013 APPLICANTS.

[kbanatwala]

Hello Friends,

Sorry for late reply here, I had a very coaster roller like journey and would like to share briefly so members here can take something from it.

So, i had received a call on 20th of Feb and was asked if i can fly to Canada by 5th of March, i had confirmed that i could, the lady had further confirmed my dob and said thanks and was going to disconnect the call but i quickly asked if they are sending my visa soon, she said i will come to know about it. like, really? you are asking me if i can fly in less than 2 weeks and then saying I will come to know about it? lol. So then my wait began, i had booked my ticket for 3rd March, where i would leave Chennai on 4th early hours and reach Toronto on 4th(a day before my visa expires). I did a MP enquiry on 24th and the MP office got back to us on 26th saying NDVO had written them on 25th (after getting their enquiry) that they have sent the passport today. So, 5 days remaining till i fly and i had no passport, it usually takes 7-10 days to get the passport so i was very worried that i am not getting my passport untill after 5th. I finally got my passport on 1st(Saturday) and i flew from my home city on Monday (3rd March). But, i had a lot to face still, my connecting flight was Air India to Chennai and then a flight to Toronto via Frankfurt. The Air India Flight got delayed few times and in the end flew after 6 hours of its original time :-\ (Never take a Air India flight, not worth the risk) hence, i missed my flight to Toronto, then i had to stay overnight at a hotel and figure out my flight for next day, so now i would fly on 5th and reach Toronto on 5th. So, next day I issued another ticket and reached airport 3 hours before the departure, when i went to check in my luggage where, i was told by airline personnel that as my visa was expiring on 5th so i may not be able to fly! I argued that its valid till 5th so it shouldn't be a problem, after that, a guy with walkie talkie took my passport and itinery with my landing papers and went to a room to confirm, after waiting for more than an hour he confirmed that i can fly, that was a great relief, i was panicking till i heared that! Next the same thing happened in Frankfurt when they had to check if i can fly but there it took 2 minutes to confirm the same.

So, i finally landed in Canada on 5th! The bottom line of the story is it is you who will realise and care what it really means for you to be with your loved one and the struggle you have gone through to make this happen, others are only doing their job and have no emotions attached to it. Please stay strong and in the end all will be good!

Good Luck to all my friends in this forum and wish you all a speedy visa.

Warmest Regards
DJ

Lot of struggle. But finally in the end a happy ending.

usually they do not reply email if your file is within timeline but you can order gcms notes which my help you to know your files current status.

Don't except any response from then, they never reply so no timeline. All you have to do is wait. If your file been tranferred to NDVO then soon they will send you an email and will ask you to submit your passport (& medical, pcc if not submitted). This usually takes 10-15 days time after they receive the file for further processing.

Aha. Thank you for the replies. I did order my notes in early Feb and there wasn't much progress. Will order them again mid April to get a better idea

hi guys,
from all the info im reading about the forum members and my own experience of waiting for NDVO to respond, it seems applying for immigration is the worst torture...my kid is so sick and cant besr the pollution in India (She is a US citizen and waiting for her moom's immi as she is a canadian citizen too) that i curse these people...at least there should be some unformity in all the cases e.g. someone is geeting aor from ndvo sooner and someone later and same is the case with ppr...some people get clarity thorugh gcms notes and some suffer because of their representatives.... i completely understand that the procesing time is 13 mths now, yet they have the liberty of treating people gently or cruelly...b'lieve me im so depressed and started doing lot of meditation to come out of it, no help...started activity classes, no help coz every day i predict someone is terribly wrong with my file... im a very optimistic and cheerful person yet for the first time in my life im so broken... im away from my husband fro 10 mths, dont know how many more mths...desi girl do you think there is some way to let the chc know that some uniformity sholud be there to avoid unnecessary wait...if one has a set time in front, things work out well....any ways all the best to all those who are waiting, God is there to help us..tc

I am a march applicant. I recently applied for GCMS notes and it mentions medicals passed, eligibility started with due date in April. Medical and criminality not started. Anyone in similar stage?

Medicals and PCC are both expired now.

With due date in April for eligibility, does it mean that they have to complete eligibility by april and its a sort of deadline?

once eligibility is done, how long does it take for security and criminality?

any thoughts that you can share? I have waited for more than a year now.

Notes also say that interview is recommended. We received document request which we have provided. Hopefully, after reviewing these new documents immig officer waives off our interview.

This whole process sucks. Waiting to hear any insights senior folks can provide.

Thanks!

Wow!! Not really a good experience. I work in travel industry & I know Air India very well since last 5-6 years, guys pls don't risk your visa just to save few bucks, if you have to travel within India to catch next international flight then take Indigo or Jet Airways or travel at least 1 day prior to port of exit but never risk your visa & international flight.

DJ India - you are very strong buddy, that's what made you reach Canada before your visa expires. Looks like people sitting at NDVO don't have any brains left. Their brains are still in sleep mode since that long strike... Wake up slackers. I don't know how they expect someone to leave country within 10 or 15 days & with no visa & passport in hand.

Thanks for sharing your experience buddy. I will take care of your words.

I am so sorry to hear about you Palaki, the long wait & process really sucks. I have been waiting to meet my soul since last 14 month & still no hope, no response .. Nothing. These people don't have any heart.
I am sorry but you really cannot do a lot to make process faster, they say if you push to make process fast then they will delay it more. They won't even reply you untill your deadline expires which is 13 months.

Just keep praying, I couldn't sleep for weeks & weeks then I decided to do yoga & mediate which really helped me. So just stay strong.

My best wishes are with you.. God is looking after us.

Hello everyone I'm back to my home city after my interview I don't think I have to say anything all you guys already know what happened there during interview.

I really don't have energy to talk about it (my interview) all I need your support and advise ...


*My first question is when they do the interview do they record every interview?

*He asked me do you have any documents to give him or show him?
(I gave him 12 + 12 months phone bills records from both sides, Whatsapp chat screen shots, Skype chat screen shots, Few Greeting cards and Western Union Receipt till now).
When i gave him all these documents to him he said you can go now and you are not getting any visa.

My second question is why he asked me for more documents if he was going to say you will not get visa?


*my third question is If he was already decided he is not going to give me visa why he didn't return our pictures and greetings cards that we have submitted along with our application even he has asked me to give him more proofs if I have any (I gave him)?


Best regards.

Sahil...hang in there...what happened is terrible and these guys are real jerks...no body deserves to be treated and frightened like this.....

Worst situation, you'll have to appeal or decide to move settle in another country.....

But for now...just wait buddy..i know its not easy.....but pls hang in there till u hear something from them!

Take care!
