Hi,

You can order for GCM notes. It will give you a clear picture about your case. It will take 1 month to get the GCM notes from the day you apply and it costs $5.

Send an email inquiry to ND also.

Contacting the M.P could be your last resort, I guess.
@ajith

@ singh1212

mine 72 days gone to PPR to ND....SAME CONDITION AS URS....no update from ND for almost 4 months...
its really frustating....

Its going to be 110 days for me and no updates from ND at all. I dont know what the hell they are doing with our cases. Really very frustrating.

Not Exactly,

CAIPS is short for 'Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System'. It is the computer system historically used by Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process visa applications, and holds all the information on the current status of every immigration application being processed by overseas offices (i.e. those outside of Canada), other than new applications at offices which have switched to using the 'GCMS' system.

FOSS is the computer system historically used by CIC offices in Canada to track all immigration-related information, but like the CAIPS system is being superceded by GCMS.

GCMS is short for 'Global Case Management System', and is a newer computer system that CIC are rolling out across their offices. To ensure that we manage to obtain your file, we request both CAIPS/GCMS files or FOSS/GCMS files.

Hi Ajith111
I think GCM could be last resort.

sending the email inquiry to ND just generic responce
and Contacting the M.P may or might be the same,so its better go direct and fast.

Hi
I am applying for spouse visa through New Delhi, India (I am the applicant). I do not have my surname (family name) on my passport, only my first 2 names. On all my documents including marriage certificate and degrees, I only have my first 2 names (no surname). Will this create a problem for immigration and in the future in Canada? I heard somewhere that it is very important to have surname in Canada. Should I change it before they ask for my passport (get a new passport and submit my old one with it to CIC in Delhi) or wait until after I land in Canada to get a new Indian passport?
thanks in advance! :)

what do you mean when you said you don't have surname? if your name has two words the second one is your surname, it could be your fathers name ( which is common in some part of India) or your house name or anything else. I don't recommend to change your name and complicate the whole process. Also keep in mind CIC officers are aware of different cultures of different country, So you should be fine

Hello,


I have applied for my wife's immigration to Canada under Family Class Category. I am a Canadian Citizen and my wife is an Indian Citizen. I applied on January 30th and we still have not received a response from CPC-M that our Step 1 of the application has been approved. We have waited the 55 day time period as noted on their website and have had no luck with the call centre either. Can someone please let me know when I can get an answer for Step 1 to be approved and once the application goes to India how much longer it should take? Thanks for the help!

Hi kham6490

I am in the same boat as you. Application received by CPC-M on February 1, 2012. And no signs of any acknowledgement from them.
 
Did anyone recently appear for the interview? If Yes, How was it ? I am asking this just to get the feedback about any recent interview.

Hello All,

I sent my additional proof to ND last week and still waiting to hear from them. Does anyone know, how long ND takes to reply or consider these additional proofs. They did not ask for the proof, I sent on my own after reading the GCM notes.

Does anyone has any experience in this. Kindly help me.

thanks

Hi CanVan99,

In my case, they requested me some more photos and we sent it to them.
Now after a month I sent some more info like (video CD, email, phone bill) , but I didn't apply from GCM notes,
I would like to know what all info did you get from GCM notes, will it clearly mention what is missing?

Thanks

Thank-you so much for your answer. Can someone pelase send me the the link to the January 2012 thread for New Delhi? If our application appears to be straightforward, is it fair to assume that my wife may arrive within 90 days? It is such an anxious process.

i have only first name and second name not surname. i mean i have "rahul kumar" as first name and surname field is blank on passport but in canada its very imp. to have surname for all documents otherwise they will put your first name as surname blank and leave the first name field . i mean to say they will put ****** rahul kumar on all docs. thats main problem...but im not going to change it now maybe later in canada.
