Good day Folks.
Some good news to share and to ask for your suggestion and reliable info. My wife in colombo got a late phone call jan4 from a gent from can embassy asking if she would be able to leave for Canada as her medical will expire by Jan 19. Of course, she said yes. And he said they are sorry for not contacting sooner as her application was closed before Xmas but couldn't call her due to holidays etc. They will soon send details via email on how to get the visa stamped etc. So far no emails but hoping to receive Jan 5.
FYI, nothing was updated on either ecas or my account. It still says, we need additional docs, background chk is in progress, interview not needed at this time, etc. Our last submission of additional docs (revised picc) was September 30. Had heard nothing since. But now this sudden phone call. It seems the Eva's and IRS my account is not very reliable!
As you can see we are Jan 28 2016 applicant. I hope this gives some hope for others who are in limbo.
I need the following info: what is the best route to come to Vancouver from colombo? If she comes via BA via London does she need a transit visa? What is the best way to ship/bring additional cargo as one is allowed only two bags. Is booking ticket online better or through an agent in Colombo? Any other tips that would help us.
Thank you.....happy 2017
