The direct flight is long, approx 13 hrs.

Connecting flights via China/Japan etc are generally 4-5Hrs + LAYOVER + 11-12Hrs.

Connecting flights via Europe/UK are
generally 7-8hrs + LAYOVER + 8-9 Hrs if flying direct from Europe/UK to Vancouver for the second half
or
7-8hrs + LAYOVER + 6-7 Hrs + LAYOVER(most of the times in Toronto) + 4-5Hrs



The direct flight is expensive (almost 1.5 to 2 times the price of what you can find with connections) but shortest time, downside is : sitting in a crammed up space for 13-14 long hours.
(For somebody flying for the first time its better, they don't have to go through the hassle of figuring out the next connection)

Personally I prefer 2 connections as long as the layovers are not more than 2 hrs, that way I don't have to sit in the crammed up space for long hours and I get to have a meal of my choice at the airports.


Generally any connecting flight with 1 stop via china or 1-2 stops via europe is good as long as layovers are less than 2 hours and total travel time Delhi to Vancouver is not more than 22-24 hrs.
Thank you kdiddy. Thanks for pointing out that direct flights are better for first time fliers. Thanks for the detailed information. Many thanks.

SO TO ALL WHO HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LINK THEIR APPLICATION TO GC KEY

i had been trying since long and have been finally able to link

The key to same:

1) details to be entered are of spouse being sponsored; ie the person for whom visa is expected
2) choose applicatin no and uci to link
3) Uci is different for each individual ; UCI for spouse sponsored shall be received while getting Aor2 from NDVO
ENTER BOTH

4) leave passport details blank
5)Choose city and province as per sponsor address
6)And enter exact city of birth as in passport

In our case it was Ludhiana, punjab
They consider even the spaces ( got to know same from our recent gcms notes received)

7)Finally no of persons in application needs to be 2

I hope these helps those unable to link file and yes with those who have received Aor2 from ndvo with UCI NO

also would suggest others to order gcms notes to attain the data entered by cic into system to finally reach the correct details for gc key linking :)
