i have applied for permanent immigration to Canada and my wife is the principal applicant. i have one daughter aged 4. i got interview waiver 2 days back and got medical papers. CHC new delhi has also asked for the Police Clearance Certificate. I m in law related agency and my passport got expired last week and my deptt. is not giving NOC to obtain the new passport on the one pretext or other. Since i have to submit the medical , pcc and landing fee in 3-4 months how should i proceed. if my wife and daughter get visa and wife goes to Canada, do i need to apply afresh or i will be issued visa on the basis of my previous application. i do not want to resign from the govt. job now. I think once my wife goes there and get back to India in 1 month after getting necessary documents then how the case will be processed i want this information. Please help me on the issue...............once my wife gets back then i can resign .

Senior Desis Please help us............... I have only few days left........

Senior Desis,
i have almost the same problem. I am police Sub inspector and my wife is computer instructor in some institute . I have one child aged 3 years. I have completed 10 years service in Chandigarh Police and not got promotion yet and my wife is diploma holder in Electronics and Communications Engineering. She used to work with ESPL Mohali and got handsome salary but due to stagnation in my field and uncertainty in Electronics indsutry in Chandigarh we applied for the PR and got medical papers after almost 4 years . We both cleared IELTS with 7 bands and my wife worked hard for French classes. Now since we have got the medical and it is to be submitted back within 50-60 days to Canadian High Commission with RPRF (Landing Fee ). But the problem here is my Passport got expired in due course and it is very difficult for me to obtain the NOC for passport from my parent deptt. since officers are not cooperating. without NOC passport is not possible. No enquiry regarding this is avialable in Chandigarh or Delhi office means they dont entertain enquiries. In such scenario I sometimes think of resigning my job and get passport in TATKAL scheme but if i get problem in medical then i will have real real problem since police experience is of no use and i wll not get any job. So I have only two options left

1. I resign now and get my passport and send medical and wait for visa to reach Canda. but visas are not sure till u actully get them and i m not sure about the Candain system my change all of sudden.
2. I dont get medically examined and let my wife (since she is principal applicant) and daughter get visa . She will once travel to Canada and then she will sponser me .

I m seeking advice on the above issues and also seeking guidance if i can send my wife and daughter's medical examination without my medical. or Embassy people will raise objection to this. if they dont object and give visa to my wife and daughter then can she later sponser me or not.

should i clearly write to the visa officer that my passport expired and can only get new after resigning and dont hold visa till then and it may please be granted to my wife (principal applicant) and daughter.

Should i send my landing fee now or not.

what should i do ? My dilemma is even deeper.................

Please senior desis and consultants advise...is it right to resign from the job now or should let the wife migrate first............
