CHC DELHI 2004 APPLICANTS

Himmatist

I am aware of 5 cases of NOC 38 category.

Case 1 -  Timiline to issue visa 3 months
Case 2, 3 & 4 Timeline was 5 months ( these guys took 2 months to arrange documents, so not a CIC fault. )
Case 5 -   Time to get in - principal approval 2 months and after sending his papers back to NDH CIC he is waiting for his medicals ( as of now his wait has crossed 3 months ) So his timeline has crossed 5 months, and he is clueless


Case 1,2,3,4 all got there medicals within the period of 10- 15 days after submission of their papers to NDH CIC and In-principal approval within 1 month.

All the above are financial manager, except case 4 ( English lecturer)

I am not aware of current status of NOC 29 . I thought of applying myself in this category but these days its taking more than 2 months to get seat for IELTS and then time-lines  for Buffalo is 8 + months as compared to NDH  And I cannot apply through NDH since I am based in Canada.

If you look at time-lines in Fast-track cases, New Delhi is much better than other areas of the WORLD. My question is WHY are they so quick in processing these cases???? But damn slow in old- cases.  I have found no positive answer to this. But my heart and soul says because something is really fishy in NDH and some consultants are hand in glove with them. as new cases bring money .

Now about they being lull in processing , for both categories , answer could be shortage of staff (as far I know only 6 people take care of cic window in NDH, study,work, PR and everything else ), or they are waiting for new application money to come in directly and indirectly ( from consultants ). After all the quota is limited.

Old cases dont fall under rigorous Audit, NOC 38 cases ( they know how to manipulate the MIS ), NOC 29 is new bait, its pure meat and they know they are quota bound ( 1000 ), so they have to generate max revenue from their indirect way ( there upper -limit is defined ).

Keeping all this in mind, I believe old case till march '04 may see the light at the end of tunnel, not due to blessing of NDH CIC but due to very few noble souls of CIC sitting in Canada. This NOC 29 is ray of hope for a small intervening period (3-5 ) months then again there will be stop for another 6 months and after that once NOC 38 is cleared, rest of Old cases will then start moving.


I am not averse to any legal action, So I can be counted in , but SP1 has rightly pointed out about pitfalls attached to it.

We need to mobilize the effort of 2004,2005 to sit somewhere and discuss and take it to logical conclusion.  I dont think we can get support from 2006 forum as its much better for them to pull out there application and file fresh under new categories and this is what most of people have done, this is the reason why we can see decrease in PR application in these years and sudden rush in new categories.  We all know this fact in forum, but neither CIC mentioned it nor any consultant.

Rest assured CIC needs money, because they have to ensure the retirement benefits for Canadians, We are the hardest hit and nobody cares for US.   We need a justice and we need to educate the Canadians about the injustice done.  We have our investments locked -in in FD for last 6 years, this money would have been part of Canadian Economy.
Govts are coming and going and finding the new ways to generate quick money from immigrants. You can see with new rules , they told everybody that they are working on improving standards ( but where are they??) With one arrow they have satisfied all, Consultants will new client, Old -cases got a balm, opposition also got to wait and think. All the stake holders made happy, but see they got new avenue to make money.

We need to sit together and devise a very concrete plan of action and I am sure it will work in our favour, people are educated here and they will understand . We need to involve all quarters, citizens of canada, media of India/ Canada, MP of both India / Canada and then last is COURT.

But all this need lot of time, energy.    Money is not big factor as its only needed if we go to court.

My suggestion is

Lets draft a good letter ( open letter ) and then email it to all the MP of Canada and tell them our situation and plight. We have all great people in this forum to draft this ............ We have the power to CHANGE the things. Lets not get being USED, rather Lets make noise in very democratic, sensible and polite way.

Over to you all...... and a humble request to silent readers to JOIN /  Log IN the FORUM and give inputs.

All the best.

In the light of clear evidence, it is only logical to believe that the embassy is not going to hire separate staff to process student visas. The same staff will be diverted to process student visas during these 1-2 months. For your information, there is a huge rush for student visas and there is no backlog here. Each application has to be processed on time. Sift through the forum pages of the last 2-3 years for Aug-Sept, and you should find a lull in immigration activity during this period (Just a guess. Check it out...I am not sure about this...) There is no change in policy since the last announcement by the Immigration Minister, Mr. Jason Kenney. Therefore it is only logical to believe that this temporary period of immigration inactivity will pass and we will see visas being issued in full swing from last week of Sept.

You are 100 % right.

1. NDH cic share the resources .
2. Chandigarh, CIC only work on TRP so they are not bothered by PR applications.

One more thing I will like to add for information of all. Assuming that a lawyer is hired to proceed further. What will happen? The lawyer prepare the summary of the case and will then send a notice returnable with a specified period to immigration minister, CIC, and Delhi will be made a party to it. As I see most of the interested to pursue the litigation route are early 2004 (with a few exceptions) Delhi may start processing the cases so as make the appeal to the court as infructious and avoid a class action suit. It will be logical to avoid a class action suit for the simple reason that it will shake the very foundation of their present immigration policy towards backlog cases. But if some of the applicants (who may not be processed) stick to the appeal it will get converted into a class action suit. A similar case is discussed in another forum where an applicant was made to wait beyound the "normal" processing timelines. He filed a writ of mandamus in Federal court of Canada. Even before the case could be filed the concerned visa office started to process the case within the notice period itself.
