New Delhi (NDVO) 2017 - Spousal Sponsorship Outside Canada

[sg33]

Seems like NDVO is giving us consolation prizes by processing 1 file / weeks. at this rate march applicants will have to wait past march 2018

Funny thing is that from this year when their so called accelerated spousal sponsorship processing time came down to 12 months, they take more time than they used to when the processing time was 18-24 months.

I feel bad for the Jan/Feb applicants from 2018. They would have to wait for the 2017 files (from March/April onwards) to be cleared first and then their process would start.

I got the gcm notes today. April 4 applicant, bgc not started yet. As per the notes, eligibility: passed. security, criminality: not started.
Last update on my file was on october last week, says marriage approved, file transferred for final review. This application is part of PAT 3 group. Special instructions apply to this application.

What does this mean?

Also, Notes also says: Recommended for waiver File No: F000XXXXXX FOSS checked for PA. F000XXXXXX is not our file number.

What does this mean?

Any update ?

again going by 2016 forum, december 11 onwards likely updates for may applicants! one more week

looks like they process it however they want, if you look at the 2016 forum, even while there were people waiting they processed each month separately.. so december and jan is likely for may applicants who are at final stage but they will still process the ones pending from the prior months.

Are you applying from Canada? I am requesting GCMS notes therefore I should be applying under "Access to information act"?
what do we have to include for below option:

1) what type of record would you like to request? I am assuming family class..
2) Specify the type of file you are requesting?
3) which specific information are you looking for?

Atleast you have some movement in your file. I have no updates since April 2017...very frustrating.

Hello all,

I am new to this forum and in the process of preparing an application to sponsor my wife from India. Did anyone provide their spouse's (Principal Applicant) Aadhaar card as the national identity document within the application? If yes, did u get it translated since not all of it is in English?

Thanks!

I submitted Aadhar Card and Voter ID. But didn't translate. As all necessary information is in English already, no need to translate again. It's same as any Canadian Government document which has English and French.

Just to be clear inside the application form we don't need to mention the national identify document, as passport details is good enough. Under the supporting documents we can provide the these for copies of national identity cards.. atleast thats what i did...

Thanks for your response, karthik.andhamil

Did you enter your Aadhar card or voter ID details in IMM 0008 Generic Application Form for Canada or did you just provide these IDs as part of Supporting Documents for Sponsored Person?
