I think I have a possible theory for this trend of September, October and November applicants files being processed slowly.
1. We do not have enough data for December applicants(only 7 applicants) to get to decisive results
2. 85%+ applicants of 2013 have received IP, DM or PPT

Now my theory is after processing upto August, NDVO realized that they only need to process 40%-50% of the files to meet their 80% target(they always quote timeline for 80% applicants). So most likely they jogged through September - December applicants just to keep the processing time of 80% applicants low. To justify the slow processing of rest of the applicants they gave ADR, interviews or did not touch the file left right and center.

What do you guys think?

I would love to see someone prove this theory wrong as this is not what I would like to see.

You have pretty much paraphrased CIC's internal bulletin.

Dear Senior members,

Please suggest,
how much time should an applicant wait for IP after ADR submission?
Or can there be an interview?

Do they send any confirmation mail after receiving the additional documents?


S Kaur :-\

no, they don't send confirmation because it is too much work for them. Checking spreadsheet (fakename has done a great job of organizing information in spreadsheet..will fakename reveal his/her real name so we can personalize the congratulations?), I find couple of people who had ADR requested and interview after that...primo had interview first and then ADR; Jaycee4sweet ADR 12/14/2013 followed by interview 6/4/2014; Jasminexyz ADR first 6/6/2013 followed by interview 9/3/2014) others had ADR but no interview...so it is possible to have interview after ADR...as for waiting time, nobody knows..people have been waiting forever (we spend so much of time waiting for bus/train; government to send checks, forms etc; NDVO to do something) after sending ADR...

Hello everyone i have one question

does NDVO update ecas on any particular days like i heard they only update on Tuesdays and another days i dont remember..

is it true ?

any help would be appreciated

it depends on if they see a crow when they come out of their house; if a black cat crosses their paths then no updates today; god forbid if they see a water buffalo first thing in the morning (I don't mean their spouses or in laws)....in the past it was weekends they updated the ecas; currently whenever....

If only was I an animal rights activist, I'd go after you for what you've compared water buffaloes to.

lol....that's why you don't see water buffaloes around New Delhi visa office building (they are all inside the building pretending to be working..again I insulted the real water buffaloes..my apologies to buffaloes..) they avoid visa office like a plague...try bribing water buffaloes with their favorite food (wall posters) and drag them with their food all the way to ND visa office they will charge at you when they enter the road where visa office is located...

Hello everyone.. first of all its such a releif to see a DM on ECAS. Although I dont have passport in my hand yet so I shouldnt be boasting about anything but thisbis something who feel that the proofs they sent might not be enough...
I had sent only 20pics with my application. But I sent 3 different packages to NDVO on 3 seperate occasions with more phone bills and photos etc. NDVO confirmed receiving of those packets and attaching them to my file in GCMS notes
Anyways thanks everyone for your good luck amd wishes

My 2 cents, although Canadian cents are obsolete,

They only look for things that stand out of the ordinary, not things that look normal - big age gap (no you have to get married to a person who is no more than 5 years or so), previous history (again, no, Indians aren't supposed to get divorced or be estranged, although you can do it once you are in Canada, its a free country), key members of the family not attending the marriage (parents, in-laws etc, this is only because ours care enough to attend it in the first place).

Sending in additional documentation, although isn't bad, but if it isn't compelling or strong, is of no use (for e.g: parents haven't attended the marriage but you have 500 pics and have chat logs for a year would still be read flag and a trigger for a personal interview). While submitting documentation think like Canadians do, small wedding, no parents, even better if you have kids walking you down the aisle ... oh wait ... red flag for NDVO.

On a more serious note, I've had friends who sent in 10 pics and 10 pics only and nothing else and got their visa without an interview.

Hi..

I am a sept 30th applicant, Got a call on from visa office on 19th june and they asked a few questions about our marriage i asked them to watch our wedding video online, the lady called back after watching and informed me "its done" when i asked her if they need anything else and asked me to do my remedial. My Ecas status changed to IP on June 19th. Did my re medicals on 20th june. got a reply from the MP's office for our enquiry yesterday they said background checks are being done. This is so frustrating. I don't understand how they can still be doing background for sept applicants.

I regret being a PR in Canada. I dont know if there is any other country that would separate couples like this. what a horrible process not even letting people know the status of the file.
