Hello forum members,
I got my stamped passports back this week and thought i would share my overall experience so that it can help other members in similar situations.
I applied under noc 2174 and my file reached canada office on 12 th may 2014.
I got my PER in mid Aug'14 and request to submit my medicals in oct'14. We got iur medicals done within a week of the request, even though my wife was expectibg with due date in Nov end.
we had our newborn child in Nov end and could get his birth certificate n passports done only by jan'15. However, we had got our passport submission request in dec end with a timeline to submit it by jan end. I wrote multiple times to the canadian high commision office asking if i need to submit passports right now or if i should wait for my newborn's medical.
However, i did not get any response to any emails. Hence finally i submitted papers for my newborn including the updated forms and POF documents in mid Jan and submitted all 3 passports (mine, my spouses' and my child's) by jan end meeting the timeline mentioned in email.
Then came the waiting period... I did not hear back from the Canadian high commission office until early April, that too when after sending them almost 6 emails and not getting a response to any one of those i decided to send them a letter via courier, i got a call from their office stating that the letter for medical request for my newborn was sent in feb only and they were waiting for us to get back to them. However i checked multiple times that i had not received any email from them and hence asked them to send me the letter again. I finally got the medical for my newborn done in Apr beginning and in exactly one month time i received all 3 passports stamped with the visa.
I am now planning to leave by june first week.
Thanks to all the forum members... You are really doing a very good job.
