Thread 1111 and 0111 who have submitted docs in delhi CHC Only 2010

[yukon]

Hiteshdand,

Many thanks for the post. I was going to bow out as it seemed I was irrelevant and maybe not welcome.

I was in Delhi in February for a vacation. I found it exhilarating, infuriating, exciting, nearly dangerous, abuzz with life and a dizzying array of contrasts. The new airport terminal is probably in the top 5 in the world - it's amazing 10+. The overcrowding and dense traffic were awful. Here you will never have a baby shoved in your face because it's hungry.

Canada's economy is based on growth through immigration. We are the second largest county in the world with only 35m people. Most Canadians live within 100 miles of the border. Polls show that the public overall support the immigration policies and they are they same for all political parties. In the next five years assuming that our recovery continues I see the quotas being raised.

I think one of your first impressions of the city will be how open and uncrowded it is. As for empty towns, that's not really a factor, but remember if you are looking for work an empty town would not be viable anyway. Most immigrants come to Toronto and to a lesser extent Montreal and Vancouver. There are many programs and services to help them get settled. (Or as a last resort there is me LOL).

I am frankly astonished at how quickly immigrants, particularly from India and China manage to buy a suburban home, probably with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and a garden. I have a Chinese friend who arrived with nothing, sold phone plans door to door, put himself through a computer course, got a job with IBM and in 6 years had a large, detached 4 bedroom house. Native born Canadians and most European immigrants simply don't have that drive.

You are right, we have a serious problem of an aging population and we are going to need a lot of skilled people in the coming years. The baby boomers are now retiring in record numbers. Ontario will need over 40,000 I.T. people over the next 5 years.

I believe that your civil service leaves a lot to be desired and that getting any kind of service or paperwork is slow and painful. Here the government offices are highly technical - you can do most things on line, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Bribery here is unthinkable.

You talked about overcrowding and that of course is relative. Many newcomers will share an apartment to save money on rent, but they will have 2 bedrooms, maybe 2 bathrooms and quite a lot of living space and a balcony. You can rent a decent two bedroom in Toronto for $1,000 per month which split between two is very manageable. I went for a long walk yesterday and took some pictures. There is not a soul in any of them and I live in the city and walked through a pleasant park.

The big craze in Toronto right now is condos and they are going up all over. Young professionals love the easy lifestyle and want to be near the action of restaurants, bars, theatres and other entertainment venues. We have a lot of overseas buyers also who see them as a safe investment and rent them out.

I think the proof is in the pudding - no one seems to ever go back home!

Be good.

Hi All,

I have a few queries,

1. Do we receive PPR along with medical request or separately?
2. What all tests are performed during medicals and how much theycost?
3. Is getting medical request a confirmation of getting a visa?
4. How much time it takes to get visa after medicals?
5. One of my friends got medical request after he was asked to submit additional docs regarding his job and other things. Does that mean he got medical after thorough verification or still verification might be there?

Thanks for your help.

Folks,

It is very tempting to start some sort of protest rally, but I think you will do more harm than good.

I recently wrote to the Minister of Immigration Mr. Kenny asking that the immigration website be amended to dispel some of the rumours and clarify the reason for delays. Sadly I didn't keep a copy so I can't post it. But the bottom line is that I got an instant auto-reply which basically stated that they will not respond to any queries about processing delays, procedures or pretty much anything else to do with the process.

I think that if you start protesting you will simply be regarded as a nuisance and put to the bottom of the pile. That's just my opinion. You need them, but they don't need you.

 

[Mogboy]

Here is a harmless experiment for you all to try. Send a very short e-mail such as "Why does the immigration process take so long?" to:
jason.kenny@parl.gc.ca

You will be amazed at all the things they will not discuss as mentioned in the immediate auto-reply.

@ fireworks ↲Wish you good luck. We all and ur God s with you. I d hv invited you at my home for staying, had i been not away. You can take my no. From honeyjack and contact for any thing any time. Msging from mobile. Will PM from laptop later.

@mogboy↲↲Sir thanks for ur efforts. Here we have a law called Right To Information. ↲For any govt office we can file a petition under RTI to get any kind of info. That too Fast tracked. Wish you could do the same so that the Immigration Minister Had to reply with Factual info and replies for all the WHYs. we can understand ur point that we shud not do it on our own.
