Hi guys,
I am concerned my profile may become invalid before completing the whole CIC process.
I am at the OINP nomination stage and today I received a call from the officer in charge. She informed me that my application is fully complete and will be processed further. I think I am due for nomination soon.
My worries are:
-I created my profile on 10 September 2015. I am not sure I have the correct understanding - CIC says that the profile is varied up until 11 September 2016. Does it mean that even if I am nominated by OINP, get the CIC's ITA and apply with them, my profile will be rendered invalid if they cannot complete the process by 11 Sep 2016?
A: EE profile's role ends with ITA.
-My passport is currently full now (last empty page stamped on 11 Feb 2016) and I am sending an application package to my country's New York consular. To get the new passport may take 2months as the office in New York is very slow. Do you think I would be required to send my passport to CIC before 2 months expire.
A: Not unless you have a lucky charm
-I live in the US; my wife and 2 kids travelled to my home country in December and will come back to the US on 19 May 2016. Question: If I was nominated and received ITA next week, can I hold the application process until they come back - for reasons of medical and police certificates?
A: No. But why would you hold back for medicals and PCCs. Ask her and the kids (if major) to get their medicals and PCC from India while they are there.
-How is the current process post-ITA. Is it online?
A:Completely, except PPR which has to be physical passport.
I will appreciate your comments guys...
