Thoz who got 6-12 months wait letter

[SMSH]

True...safest bet (considering safe keeping + airport rules) is "carry less than 10K dollars cash and rest in draft"...chalo--pehley time to aye....

USD 10k is limit per adult person and not child
The best part is a traveller cheque or DD
2 years back from lahore to UAE I brought USD 15000 one time and they asked me and I told them and there was no further question
But I was with my wife and 2 kids which means my limit was 20k

 

[Arsh Ali]

It's not necessary to provide updated POF at the time of adding new born to the file.

In my case I sent a CSI and inquired about adding new born to the file and in reply visa officer advised me the following
- processing fee of the child
- birth certificate
- copy of valid passport of the child
- updated IMM0008 for yourself and updated IMM5406 "Additional Family Information" form for yourself and your spouse

and last week I have mailed them all the required documents as per their instruction.

Bro nothing is necessary till they ask for it , consider yourself lucky as they are changing their ways and acting differently.

I sent CSE tointimate about the birth of my newborn and they sent me the following reply. They want updated proof of funds too . Is it ususal to ask for updated POF with newborn documents?

Dear Applicant,

This is really teasing for those who had received 6-12 mo wait letter. Technically they deserved to be in Canada by now.

Here is some analysis, may be it will help to identify when your turn will come but read it with a fact that only God knows the accurate!

1. It appears that MI1 candidates are worked upon with respect to NOCs (likely in demand now such as 3112 etc.)
2. There’s an allocation of fixed number of visas slots for MI1, say 500 in 2012 and 700 in 2013 thru LVO. That’s how the turn is coming up slowly
3. While checking the educational/experience docs, the docs appeared to be straight forward or pertains to top-1,000 MNCs such as the candidate works/ed for Microsoft or Citibank or Pepsi etc, so his/her turn comes quickly as actual checking is not needed and VO ascertain facts just by looking at the docs
4. BC starts after receiving medical test reports, constitute security and clearance etc

NOC 3112 is still in demand though pertains to MI1, so you could notice that 3112 candidates are receiving the Updated docs or MR.

Thanks for analysis it gives me hope to receive MR in Jan / Feb insha Allah or before
As I have completed 30 months from the date of application and processing time is 31 months
Ya Allah hamari intazar jaldi khatam karday aur jaldi say hum sub ko visa mil jaye. Amen
Insha Allah we will do some special maximum charity after we receive our visa...

Bro, U re entitled to your opinion....allow me to share my 2 cents:

You said 1.It appears that MI1 candidates are worked upon with respect to NOCs (likely in demand now such as 3112 etc.)

Don't agree...Its absolutely clear visa office is working in order of submission of full docs, and not NOC....I know lots of people with the most common noc 0213, 0111, 1111 sitting in canada (all these noc were thrown out of MI-2). I know someone with noc of electrician which was in ALL MI-1,2,3 with a wait letter.... Simply becoz the noc 0213,1111 guys applied in 2009...and the electrician guy (he s actually an electrical engineer) applied in May 2010 .

You said: 3. While checking the educational/experience docs, the docs appeared to be straight forward or pertains to top-1,000 MNCs such as the candidate works/ed for Microsoft or Citibank or Pepsi etc, so his/her turn comes quickly as actual checking is not needed and VO ascertain facts just by looking at the docs

Don't agree with it. 3 people I know, with wait letters, one is from coca cola, one is Nestle and one is from Metro.......where as 5 people I know who already have gotten their visas, are all from small offices (like usman enterprises accountant 1111 , and some small local schools IT guys 0213, etc) have gotten visas, AGAIN simply becoz they applied before the people who r in MNCs.

The reason Arsh and Zeeshan Anees r next in line is coz visa office has gone down to Aug 2010 full docs....and they r first week of SEP 2010...no other reason...not becoz of their noc 0213, not becoz they r from multinationals....simple becoz they r next in cue TIMEWISE....

Another factor is luck !!! Star ali haider noc 4131 very common noc, thrown out of MI-2, is sitting in canada, even though he sent full docs in MaY 2010...and absolutely simple guys who don't even know what's MI-1, 2 3, getting visas where as forum experts like Saki getting rejected....simply put: jis kay naseeb mein jana likha hai, wo chala jaye ga....
.
I could go on and on , but as I said, useless arguing about all this.... so let's agree to disagree here

point is, ALL of us will give our own logic, but our purpose is the same...we ALL want to go....so let's pray Allah makes it happen soon..doesn't matter whose logic is right, U can have the right logic and have the 'water cooler' prize, if u want .....let's just pray we all go....whoever is right or wrong is irrelevant now... so no offense and all cool

Analysis by MA sunny and Jimmy are fabolous and deserve applause .I said in some earlier post that while holdletters were being issued I read in a coorespondence by CHC that hold letters w'd be dealt in chronoligical order i.e date of complete package submission .I could not emphasize because I lost the reference (due to hardware fault in my laptop).However time is supporting this argument.Meanwhile + 1 both for jimmy and MA sunny for their nice observation.
