I got the visa yesterday... and trust me the feeling is Great... This would not have been possible without the expert Advice of Qurox and ROCKY.... I would like to thank all the forum members for the contribution they have in making my Application a Success.. Special Thanks to Qurox, Boyee, Rocky... U guys are doing a fabulous job here . GOD BLESS U ALL.... Its just the beginning of a long battle which is to be fought in next 3-4 yrs in Canada.. I am preparing for that ....
I was born an INDIAN on 26 july 1980 and GOD blessed me the oppurtunity to explore Canada the same day 26 july 2010... and my Bth day has become special now......
I am not going out of this forum anywhere... i will keep posting and get expert advice from all the Experts out here..
Congrats amritsinghqa and wish you a very happy birthday. This is for sure a great bday gift for you. Start looking out for good ticket deals and make your landing in Canada soon.
As per the CIC rule, if applicant completes medical examination by 01 September 2010 then his/her Immigration Visa validity would remain till 31 August 2011 (one year from the date of medical examination). So, to obtain Permanent Residency the said applicant has to land Canada before September 2011.
Now, this is the predicament:
I am likely to begin a graduate program in the US from spring 2011.
The possible program time line is- Jan 2011 to September 2012.
Now, is there any provision to extend the visa validity period, so I can enter Canada hopefully upon completion of the program? (It’s written on the Med Request Letter that the extension of the visa validity is not permissible. Notwithstanding this, would appreciate your comment on possible avenues that I could explore.)
For the time being, I am planning to enclose with med and processing fees a Cover Letter explaining my circumstances and placing a formal request for an extension consideration.
Would appreciate if you could shed some light on this rather intricate matter.
Will welcome any suggestion wholeheartedly.
