Andrew Miller / Any other Expert must reply for the following :

Application Sent : 05-Oct-01
AOR : 15-Nov-01
Applied at Buffalo Immig. office,
Not able to get any information about any progress and even from e-client.
Sent Change of Address fax but received no reply that it has been changed in reords or not. Also couple of other faxes to get status info. but no response.

Currently on H1b- which will expire in next 1 year. May get lay off from the employer in US soon, thus may require to leave US.
As per trend these days, Canadian immigration putting more breaks by stoping to do medicals for 6 months after the initial assesment.

Thus looking at all, what is the best bet.
- Go back to my country and forget about that I thought of something.

- Transfer my file to my country. But what will happen to the one year
of waiting, will this go in waste, as I might have to start all over again
from the begining at the counsulate at my country.
(I dont know what happens in the case of transfer)

- Let the case carry on and change address to my friends's address in
US for all correspondence and let the case carry on. Under this
situation, Can the medicals / interview happen at my country.

Thanks in advance,

PRAD

currently it is taking about a year from the aor to get the assessment... sending them status inquiries will just slow down the process... so quit doing that unless you are well outside the standard timelines...

1. you dont have to *forget* about it, but yes, the changes you mentioned will add further delays and hardship to your application..

2. it will go to the bottom of the pile...

3. you could do that.. medical can be done by any dmp in the world, but if you are required to attend an interview, and your file is still in the us, then you will have to come to the us to attend the same... plus, even if you do get a waiver, and are successful in the actual application itself, and are granted the pr visa, you will need to send your passport to the visa office... you will need to come up with a way of doing so...

you should wait for the assessment, see how your personal situation evolves, and then decide what to do...

Hi Kapur,

AOR - 31 NOV 01
Got assessement on 25 OCT 2002 with a request of additional docs.
You might be hearing from them soon. Why don't you apply for work visa in
canada.


Best of luck

Well I can certainly try for this and under that situation will it be ok for Canada immigration that I will be inside Canada working and waiting for PR.

you need a job before you can get a work visa.. check the cic website for the details.. its pretty comprehensive..

and its not as easy a process as it seems... the hard part is getting the job first...
