Someone had posted an excel sheet link. Put in the dates and it will generate a date around which u should get your visa. Click past the last few pages and you should see it. Whoever compiled it was very optimistic though. I say add another 30 days to the date that will be shown, lest you be disappointed.

Thanks for spreading the word CMR.
This spreadsheet uses data from actual cases reported on trackitt and finds
1. Average between two stages
2. Average between start date and date of a stage

On the bases of that it calculates your expected dates.
As NDVO has started taking longer now, expected date are not as accurate.

I have an idea of making a system that will take number of applicants and NDVO's processing acceleration in consideration. That system will also take all the red flags in consideration before predicting your DM date. Unfortunately that type of system can not be done on Excel. If a couple of people can volunteer their time to input data (a lot of data in CanadaVisa Excel sheet is wrongly put, so manual testing is needed) , then I can develop that system for us.

Hi fakename,

Thanks for the spreadsheet..Awesome job that helps members of this forum.

If u don't mind me asking, what type of average are you performing. I mean , are u calculating arithmetic or geometric or harmonic mean etc .. or some sort of statistical median. If u are planning to add red flags into consideration when estimating time, what type of logic are u planning to use.

thanks

Hello Sravoct29,
As I mentioned the spread sheet uses averages (i.e. arithmetic mean) in the current solution. You may visit the spreadsheet that lets you see all the formulas used (by selecting a cell, and seeing the formula in the formula field at the top).

In the future solution, I am planning to use two different methods.
1. Orthodox normal distribution method (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution) to calculate the likelihood, and the "best", and "worst" possible dates within the standard deviation.
2. Unorthodox method, where I will dynamically formulate the trend and calculate the dates.

Obviously both the calculations will use these variables
-- Total number of applications received (http://data.gc.ca/data/en/dataset/5c003561-ce36-4881-a5a4-c30f9f456690),
-- sample size (for standard deviation)
-- Cases processed (from volunteer's input)
-- New case's dates
-- And may be a couple of more which I can't think of right now

All known red flags will be entered from the volunteers, and when an applicant tries to estimate his dates only data with same level of red flags will be used, or if we don't have enough data with a flag it will estimate how a red flag affects the time period of the application (based on the limited records for that flag compared to regular records) and difference will be added to the average time.

Cool, thanks for the reply.

Not sure if this helps. This guide explains how to read GCMS notes.

Based on the dates you provided, you will hear from NDVO soon. Be positive.

Do we have to send an email for acknowledging about the email for interview?

Hi,

I landed in calgary, canada just 5 months ago...though the sailing was not easy, but I got a job and will complete 2 months in 3 days. I wanted some advise on sponsoring parents.

My parents are US citizens (thru my brother who lives in the US) but live in india, and I would like to sponsor them for their Canadian PR. However, based on the research and reading up I have been doing since the past 3+ weeks, I am pretty much confused and need someone to knock me around a bit.

1. My Dad is 81 and mom is 74 - any chances of rejection?
2. If they are living in India, means that the application would go thru New Delhi.
3. If they apply from the US, can they stay in india while their application is being processed?
4. Would it be better to have them in Canada and apply when they are here in Canada?
5. Do I have to show 3 years consecutive income in Canada?

This is just the start, and I understand that currently they are not accepting applications since they have completed their quota of 5000 for this year.

I will appreciate any guidance or pointing me in the right direction for more research and understanding.

Thanks and Best Regards

send them a letter and an email explaining that you forgot to mention about visa denial to the building address and email address provided in the link below. Make sure you write details such as file number; applicant's name; phone number etc...

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/india-inde/offices-bureaux/new_delhi.aspx?lang=eng#address

when did you apply? and what is your ecas status now? even if you had not mentioned about visa rejection, they can easily find out your history of past and present dealings with canadian visa office...
