Hi All,

I have been granted PR from NDVO and have received my passports with the visa stamped and confirmation letters for myself and dependents. Now you can ask me question as I will be in a better position to answer. Planning to go in the month of April 2014. They have given time till May 2014. Guide me if I am planning right. Suggestions are welcome. Thanks all for your support.

Congrats Prabjot...
After how many days you got your passports back after your status was changed to 'decision made'

 

[Prabjot79]

Thanks CanGuyPnp

Immigration officer called me on 31st Oct 2013 and also apologized for delay (for which I was surprised) and also informed me that they have given me PR visa and my passports were stamped on 6th November 2013 and I got them on 12th November by mail. Status changed to in-process on 31st Oct and decision made on 3rd November. And it is still the same.

Immigration officer talked to me at length and was indirectly taking my interview on phone. It lasted for around 25 minutes and she talked about sports, weather, my city Amritsar and Gurgaon where I have lived, also about my father and my family. She did not let me feel as if a stranger is calling me. We laughed together as well.

She asked me "How excited you are about going to Canada". May be she wanted to know am I really interested in after so many years of wait, if not then they might not give me visa. Remember they also scanned my facebook account to know the kind of person I am. So keep your facebook account clean. (This is a new verification step that they have started, as she told me they did it to know more about me, So keep your facebook account updated and clean, I was surprised when she told me about the number of friends that I have currently). And finally she said..."Canada Welcomes You, and thank you for choosing Canada". It was a bit funny as well. As she asked who is present right now in your family as she wanted to talk to them as well. My father was at home and she asked him few basic questions about me and my family. like their names and ages.

I am thankful to God for this and to all those who helped me in this forum to answer my questions.
Best of luck to all of you.

Congratulations Prabjot79,
It's strange and funny that they called you to discuss , because of most of NVDO candidates were not called. Anyway you have sweet outcome. My file also recently transferred from SGVO to NDVO, waiting for updates from NDVO.

Hi Hadeel,

Welcome to Canada. I'm not sure about the SIN for your family, but I discovered a great resource here - a Toront Reference Library, at Bloor and College. There's a manned stand for newcomers on the first floor with helpful resources.

Best of luck

Hi all
I arrived Canada few days ago but when I went to issue the SIN they did not issue it for my 2 kids and not for my husband ,I am wondering if that will affect their getting the medical insurance after 3 months from now ,please advise

 

[Prabjot79]

Hi Atin,

NDVO called me to discuss that my OWP application is to be closed and PR to be processed as both of them were at final stage of stamping and they wanted me to give my written consent to cancel my OWP and then they will process only PR application. Which I did and they issued PR in another 1 week and I had passports with me in around 5 days.

It was a foreigner Immigration officer and she was working for the last 25 years in NDVO and she said she has never seen the strike here in her entire career and she was apologetic about it.

Now they are also working on Saturdays as well till they break for Christmas so that they can finish maximum cases.

Wishing everyone best of luck with the processing.

Thanks
Prab

@Prabjot79 ,

I was wondering whether CIC gave you refund for your OWP application fees or they just closed it without giving you refund for OWP application fees ?

Cheersss
