Hey Bud,

DM was made for me on AUG 25. Been waiting since them. I applied for GMCS notes(i think that what it is called) and inquiry to NVDO as well. Still havent heard from them. I went and talked to MP and they did inquiry. This is the standard Email they send out:

"This refers to your enquiry received at the visa office in New Delhi.
Please be advised that further instructions will soon be forwarded to the applicant. Until then, she is requested to await our contact.
Sincerely,

Client Service Unit
Immigration Section
High Commission of Canada
7/8 Shantipath, Chanakyapuri
New Delhi - 110 021, India
www.india.gc.ca
(CA)
"

But 1 hr after that, my wife got email. Hopefully this helps. If it hasnt been that much time since DM. I say wait. BUt if more than 3 weeks, then try MP. You might get the same response as i did. Hope this helps.

Thanksss....I hope I don't have to go through all the hassle....n congrats wish u a happy life here in Canada.... :)
 
I did this myself as well and made 4 other people review my documents(family members). I also made copies of the PCC an Medicals just in case they require it. If they application is completed properly then have a better success rate. Also could be the person working at the file. Just make sure everything is completed properly and watch Video online on how to fill out application.

General Question for all the members who got IP's DM or PPR well before Jan and Feb applicants..

Did you guys applied through Immigration consultants (Agents)??

Bcoz I was wondering maybe they know how to file papers in the package and where to put bar codes of the application and so on and this makes it easier for NDVO to take those applications first and clear it as they know it has been done by some professional who does it every day rather a common man who will do it in his own way... that's why maybe Jan and Feb applicants are still waiting??

I think it does matter how you filled your papers and makes it easier for NDVO to review and approve it.

Any thoughts on this?? bcoz even I applied myself without any consultant and I don't know if they will delay it if its not according to their standards.

OMG!!! guys got DM and PPR!!

Have a question about passport submission. It looks fairly confusing to me. I am from Mumbai and I found the Mumbai CVAC here. Do we have to visit the CVAC personally to deliver the passport?

There are several service charges here, but not sure which ones we HAVE to do.
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/India/service_charge_schedule.html

Also, is there a best practice, that is better to pick up the stamped passport at the CVAC or delivered via courier? Which is faster I mean? If we pick up from CVAC, how do we know when to pick it up?

Hey if you get the answer to these questions let me know...

Hey abrahamr,

Was your wife also told to go to one of the CVAC offices for the visa? Is this what e everyone is told to do? Also do you mail it to this office or go there personally? My husband works in the city where one of the CVAC offices are so I can tell him to take the passport with him.

You have to go to VFS location to submit your passport...
I would not recommend you to send your passport via mail...

even if it is far, you must personally visit that place and make sure they take your document and give you a tracking number...

also they will ask you to choose one of the options to get your passport back:
i) pay for courier service and they will deliver at your house
ii) contact you after it's ready to pick up and you can get it from VFS location

also there is an option where you can select email/text service..

so my recommendation to you is to personally visit VFS location..

Yes, she got email to go to one of the VFS OFFICE and they will mail to NVDO. Looks like you got to go there in person and submit your passport and 2 photos. Looks like they do it at the VFS office.

Thanks buddy, one last question did they assign you a VFS location or they told her to go to the nearest location? And if they assigned you the location is it geographically nearest to where your wife lives at the moment?

hi,
I dont know exactly, is it true or not. NDVO office people always said this to me that we have workload, so when ur turn will come, u will know the status. I dont know, y they are taking this much time in file only. Else everything they are having nothing left. My husband submitted the complete file. Now they are having my passport, my medical everything. I dont know whats happening?

They didnt assign. They just gave the VFS website address. My wife has to go to another state to drop off the package

you got PPR and you send in passport? how long since you send it in? i would think it would be just to stamp visa and send back.

I dont understand...they gave you the website? Because on there they have like 10 locations or so.....how do you know which one to go to?

Congrats 1272. After a long wait you got your result. Wish you a shiny visa soon


thank you geet...

wish you a speedy visa. ;D ;D
 
i would assume the one closet to you. They use these offices to courier to NDVO. Once you complete the process, they will give you a tracking number.
