New Delhi Passport Tracking Thread

[canaspirant]

Hi All,


Need 1 advise please.


God Blessed us with a Baby Boy on 19th May. I got Birth certificate of Baby but Passport will take some time.

In the mean time I have Informed CHC ND via case specific enquiry Portal.


Do I need to follow any other step to inform CHC ND ? or Anything else. Please suggest.

Waiting for an early reply.


Thanks,

Congratulations dude. I had a baby in midst of my stamping and heres what I did. You need to intimate CHC ND about the birth of the child and attach photos of child with parents and with the birth certificate. Write to them saying that you are in the process of obtaining a passport for the child. Has your wife undergone medicals? I doubt so coz my wife did not.

1. Start applying for the passport. I think You can apply 7 days from birth of the child.
2. Once you get the passport, modify your application to include child and the passport # of child.
3. Request for medicals for your child and its mother.

You are done with that dude...PM me if you need more info.

Congrats Shareen,

Wish you a wonderful life ahead. It seems that the visas are valid exactly 1 year from the medicals were completed. Is this true for every case.

Wish you all the best.

Hi Friends

We landed last week in Toronto and everything went off very smooth.

The IO officer at the airport war very polite and welcoming. You need inform the officer at the passport control that you are here for landing and he will ask you, if you are carrying anything, which needs to be declare (he will specifically ask for funds, if it is more than 10K per person). You will be directed to the Immigration counter after this (rest of the people will move towards the baggage claim/exit), where IO will ask for CoPR and passport. The total of three questions asks to us were:

1. How much money you are carrying (no proof was asked in our case)….?
2. Do you have any items coming later on….?
3. Do you have address in Canada, where PR card can be sent…?

We were ask to sign the CoPR with in the while box (using a black pen) in the last and one copy of CoPR (duly filled and signed) was stapled to our passport. We were provided with lots of materials about the various services for newly immigrants and a bag.

It took us precisely 20 minutes for the whole process.

Next day, we went to nearest Service Canada Office for getting the SIN number which was again a very smooth and simple process and took us just 15 minutes for the whole process (plus 10 minutes of waiting time). The SIN was provided on the spot with information that the card will reach to the address with 10 working days. Bank account was next in the list, so we headed towards that. After doing a little research for the best options, we found that almost all the banks in Canada have similar offers for new immigrants i.e. no minimum balance & no fee account for first 12 months (limited transactions per month), but RBC & TD are the best choices, as per the most of Canadians (because of their huge network and other banking products). The account was opened in 20 minutes and we were provided with the temporary client card (debit card) and account number. The only document one needs to carry for both these services is your passport with CoPR stapled to it. There is no form, no photographs and no photocopy of any document needed anywhere. You do not even have to fill up any form also.

Another important thing is registering for the health card, the only additional document you need here is the address proof in ON which can be:

1. Bank Statement
2. Rent agreement
3. Driving License

The first two would be easier and faster in most of the cases. As in ON, the coverage only starts after 90 days we really need not to rush for it. For driving license one must carry the letter from RTO clearly mentioning the driving experience and clean record in order to directly apply for G2 license and save the wait period of 9-12 months (G1 to G2).

I hope this will be of some help for the members.

hello guys landed in toranto on 9th of june

caught jet airways from amritsar to toranto via new delhi. service is real cool , in flight meal was good as well . leg space was comforting.

however i must say experience at Brussels airport wasn't pleasing , they opened only one gate for security checks for three flights and you can imagine the ques and it was horror time with kid

landed at Pearson international on time , took five min to complete the whole process with immigration officers, only asked for how much money i brought in nothing else. NEITHER I PREFILLED ANY FORM FOR PR NOR DID I PREFILLED ANY B4 FORMS . AND NOBODY ASKED SO I DIDN'T CARE.( pr forms they WILL fill it for you on the immigration counter if you have address to give)

little bit funny incident happened at immigration back office , as me and my wife were busy collecting the information booklets on canada and ontario (should go and collect those even if you have the knowledge and skills) my daughter went into supervisor's office, and since nobody was there she climbed to the chair and started using his computer she is only one and half but she knows how to operate , like keyboard and mouse can do basic functions . so she switched it off, as we along with couple of officers went around looking for her . and we only realized that she was sitting in office when somebody went into the office to inquire about the server shut down, which she did. nobody made fuss about in fact supervisor appolizied to us that he left his door opened like that .welcome relief from India.

my friend was at the airport to receive us , so that went in nicely.

on 10th , i went to get registered for sin number, opened bank account with td canada , cleared my written exam for driving licence and will give road test next week . and then will buy my car . it is better if you have your own car it saves lot of time in travelling and open up whole new opportunities for you. Not going for work or employment agencies right now , my wife and kid are going back in couple of weeks so just gonna enjoy till they are here , keeping aside all the worries of work and settlement. actually considering volunteer work when i will be free after couple of weeks . should be good for resume and references.

ok there is one more thing , if you can buy your phone from here will be good instead of bringing from India, specially don't buy new one and bring it over here , it will open more billing or prepaid plans for you . i had a blackberry which i used in India , brought the same here but it didn't work. and i have nobody's contact details. so i am sorry if i haven't called anyone here in Canada or back home in India . for simple reason that i don't have anybody's number right now. so do me a favor and PM me your number i will get back to you as soon as i can.

i will be busy twomarrow and day after twomarrow going to see Niagara falls and going to a freind's place. will stay there for couple of days. so i will get back as soon as i can.

thanks and regards

Jaspreet Singh
