November 2018 AOR - Join here

[adityagupta88]

Hi friends, I got the PPR mail today morning. My AOR was on November 24 and there was/is no changes in my profile. Hopefully all those who applied at the same time should get PPR in around 10 days.

As next step is the VFS visit, I have a few doubts regarding that.

1) Do I need to give biometrics to them?

2) How many days will it take for them to get it transferred to Delhi, stamped and return to us?

3) Which is a better option? Chennai VFS or Banglore VFS?

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations buddy

Great.
Have any of you talked to anyone about Airline arrangements?
We are taking our cat. What I know so far,
1. Have a proper medical card - with all Vaccination details. We adopted her in 2017, so I have two years worth record details in her card. The medical card should be from a valid vet, with their registration Number & clinic details, a photograph of your pet on the card and the Doc's note on the physical description of the animal.
2. Rabies vaccination is a must, and the pet must have received the vaccination. Rabies vaccination is 1 year validity. And when you get any vaccination, the doc will attach the label from Injection vial and paste it on the card. With its expiry details, when is the next vaccination due etc.
3. Medical Clearance Certificate from Animal control - with Govt of India seal. Needs to be done 10-15 days before you travel. They will check your Medical Card, and then issue a letter confirming. Not sure about other cities - for Chennai , we have a Animal Quarantine Center by Gov of India in Pallikaranai, where we can get this done.
4. I do not have a clear idea, however for now - Air Canada is a good option. They even allow the pet inside cabin, provided it is inside the cage all the time, and will be under your seat. However if you get a seat near emergency exit, you will not be allowed to carry in cabin. Also from what I hear, it is better if your pets are not in cabin. Apparently they take good care, and ensure there is silence, mild light where they are kept so they dont panic. Carrying in a noisy, well lit cabin, with so many people around might upset your pet.
5. You have to get a good pet carrier. There are rules. Check IATA - International Air Transport Association for these details . https://www.iata.org/Pages/default.aspx
6. CBSA - Canadian Border Services Agency will inspect your pet on arrival. $55.00 CAD for first pet and $30.00 CAD for every additional pet. Also CBSA doesn't require us to put in a tracker. But people suggest that it is good to get it done. Or at least a tracker that can go on the collar. Check with your vet. Because some import the microchip and it is a 2 month waiting period.

Also there are restriction on certain breeds, as they don't survive a Air travel. I am sure you would have verified that first. But still putting it out here. Not all animals can travel without a risk to their life.

Thank you for the info..Yes we have checked the air travel thing.I guess our boy is strong enuf and also we might take a connecting flight if all well so he gets a break.Future plans.

**Negative Post Alert**

Highly disappointed with CIC

The agents we speak to when we call aren't trustworthy. Their responses differ.

AOR 28th Nov.
Called CIC thrice now, last being yesterday.
First call was on April last week and the 2nf call was last week. Both the times we were told our BC has started and everything is in process internally so no update on Account. However yesterday when I spoke to an Agent named Jeremy, he said nothing has started..File has not been touched. eligibility, security, bc, criminality, nothing started. I need to wait up. He said they have got all the documents from me that they need but just that's it.
He literally told me what I can see in my account. Nothing more. I don't know who to believe now.
He even told me my husband's email address is the primary and our consultants immigration lawyer's email address is the secondary..No info and about my email address, which we had updated as the primary.
Rather last week when my husband called them for an update and also informed that he has entered Canada already in work visa, the agent on phone said he would send the web form to us via our primary email address so that he entry can be updated.
That webform email came to my email address.....Which the Agent last night said nothing about...!!!!!!
This is so frustrating...
I don't know who to believe and how to think positive now.
13 days left, no update what so ever...I ser people crossing 6 months here and still waiting. You guys are really very strong to be keeping sane. You guys are motivating me.
People might find your cribbing negative but trust me, it makes me survive. I feel if they can make it, why can't I.

CIC is acting like THE WALL right now between me and my husband..I am stuck in India and he is already in Canada.

But alas, keeping hope...

I will take what is mine..With fire and blood!
Amen.

Did you order a GCMS notes?

 

[Pbaj]

21 aor .
just 6 days to go
still background check has not started . .

7 days nothing has started yet..

 

[MKRaja]

Yes, I did on May 3. Happened to speak to a nice agent; she informed that my application looks good with no significant review or flag. She took around two minutes to look into my notes to provide me with the details. In fact, she told that my profile is stuck largely because the officer handling my case is waiting for the response from the foreign governments which in my case are the UK and India. At last, she suggested me to wait till September 18. I have no clue what's ACTUALLY going on.
Raised CSE (web form) - received a very general reply
So, thinking to order GCMS notes in a day and call in a few days.
What's your status?

My aor is 13 nov and moved to IP2 on 8th May, nothing after that.

Called cic twice after that, first agent said criminality passed and eligibility RR but looks good no red flags.

Second agent said Criminality passed and eligibility under process, can’t see RRAnf looks good, no red flags.

So don’t know what to expect and when, most of them are getting ppr max a week after IP2, and here I’m stuck!

What do you think?

Yes. I believe you should; or just call them. Would do the same if it were me.
