Dear Rocky & Nit4Canada,
The date printed on the AOR is 21st Aug 2009. It has taken these many days for the delivery to my friend's address in canada. I had already sent out couple of requests for an address update. but no use. NDelhi office has gone completely slow in all the activities.
Even if we get the PP Request/ Medicals Request soon, the Stamping is going to take more than 4 months (as per the threads from this forum). Also, the medical request doesn't guarantee a visa. The Background evaluation and other evaluations goes on and on even after the medical request. Only the stamping assures the visa and fulfills our canada dream. So, there is no point is counting the days for the medical request.
I need to miss/ turn down my abroad offers in my company as i need to surrender/ send my pport to the ndelhi office (canadian embassy) and wait for a minimum of 4 months for the stamping processs (in case everything goes well with my case). Even i can send my pport from abroad, but as per the Indian Govt. it is illegal to send the pport from abroad thru postal or thru courier... miserable......useless rules and regulations.... so, i am showing less interest on the processing...............
can't able to express my depression more than this......the horrible part is the pport being held up with the canadian embassy (ndelhi) for more than 4 months..........................and also cant send the pport from abroad.....hmmmm.....bye, George.
