Happy to Inform all that i received my Passport with Visa stamped on it along with COPR...just cannot convey how wonderful the moment is..
But had hard time with Canadian Embassy in Abu Dhabi..Submitted my passport thru Vfs abu dhabi on 17th May, from then it was just showing that it is being processed at canadian embassy..after calling vfs multiple times they said we can't say as it is lying with them..
So eventually went to canadian embassy yesterday morning...asked them about my passport as it was already 20 days down and in a file i received from my VO i stated it will take 10 working days..so showed them my vfs receipt but they made me wait almost 3 hours just to respond me back with the ans..upon asking security they say they are checking ur details...
After standing 3 hours outside embassy gate (they don't even allow you inside as its against their rule nor can you speak with any of the counselor) they asked me to come after 2 hrs to collect the passport...went after 2 hours collected passport...but that relief you get after is not comparable with at all with 20 days & 5 hours...
Thnx all on this forum for helping and guiding..people here are very helpful selflessly..
If some one can guide me over POF..I had shown POF under my wifes account in INR..her bank statement will reflect amount in INR only..i am not planning to transfer this funds to canada...i am planning to carry few dollars along with me and can i just show this Indian Bank statement as my funds available with me? I have not taken a single penny out of those funds..I also have relative as canadian citizen in toronto so initially will be staying with them so will not incur that much of expenses...so is it necessary to show pof in dollars or indian bank statement would suffice?
It's very very risky to take Indian Bank statement as POF while landing...Most ppl advise against it..U need to take CAD (or USD is also acceptable) in the form of Cash, TC, Bank Drafts, or Canadian Bank A/c statement
I have to enter before 23rd March 2016..i am not planning to move down early..probably late year end or start of next year..can some one guide when should i book tickets so that i find it cheap and which flight is better?
Again that's not a good idea..Nov-mid to Feb end-March beginning is winter in Canada- the kind of bone-chilling cold u cannot imagine abt..Takes our bodies some time to get acclimatised, especially ppl like us from warm countries..And ur taking a risk if u plan to land in the 2nd half of march with only days left for visa validity..God forbid, some unforeseen delay/ emergency happens, u put ur entire PR process in jeopardy
Check the sites like skyscanner.co.in, kayak.com, or momondo.com for airfares trend....prefer to book directly in the airline websites or reputed 3rd parties like ebookers, makemytrip, etc...
Will keep posted with all updates...Thnx all again..
