SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[InfoSeeker12]

Did you get a request for remedial then? :/

yes we got IME request....medical done last week - and also ....very much unexpectedly it was noticed by IRCC within 2 days and they have updated the GC Key portal that medical is passed.

technically - they should have given the Final Decision and sent us the PPR also at the same time. It should be an automated process, where an AI checks if all previous steps are done - Just copy applicant details - send out PPR email....But Nahh.. thats not what happens in IRCC world. They are using some AI tool - not sure if its AI or GD (Genuinely DUMB) TOOL, which is programmed only to blindly refuse visas.

Jokes aside, that 1 week waiting torture is must ritual for IRCC officers.
Every step has to have at least 1 week torture...thats the best case scenario.

Firstly - im not sir Just another person suffering at the hands of CIC and their torturous waiting game.

CONGRATS!!! Your wife got the final thing --- See the Visa Stamp on the passport - that's the final thing you need. Now forget about tracker and whatever they upload there.
You got the visa...thats what matters!

If COPR and Visa is valid till May 29, 2025 - Technically you can arrive on May 29 and you should be fine. But do you know if there will be flight delay of 24 hours? Or God forbid, just a week before your wife is not feeling well and have to delay the flight for a week?

Unless there is a strong reason - job/exam/ something else which is making you delay the trip --DONT DELAY THE ARRIVAL. Arrive as early as possible. Weather in most of Canada (not talking about NWT or Yukon) starts to get warmer by end March / April. So plan to arrive in April or even early May.

Also start checking the ticket prices. The more you delay towards summer, the prices will go further up. All the best and lots of congratulations..

Thanks alot! would we require a protector stamp since my wife will be traveling from Pakistan on a PR Visa?

Amazing amazing news. Waited for the day to hear this from you. I hope everything is smooth from now on. Have you ordered GCMS notes recently by any chance? I got mine and Security still hasn't started. Another question - after how many days of your medical expiry did you get IME request again? It's been almost 2 weeks since mine expired. No update.

Subhan-Allah - Passport was submitted to VFS Islamabad on Monday morning, and we got the email today that visa is approved and its on the way back to VFS. So my wife will pickup tomorrow.
3 days turnaround time for Passport? Glad at least they quickened on this one last step.

After i heard this news - i checked the GC tracker. They have finally updated all the fields. Background was done way back in 2023, which im discovering only now! And it was the eligibility which they finalized early this month right after medical. But honestly they delayed the processing with extra 7-8 months for absolutely no reason and asked for interivew for no reason. No additional docs requested - cuz every thing was provided from the start. Perhaps it was too much for them to digest. Yea, probably i overloaded their Chinook AI-software.

You mentioned you have recieved GCMS. any concerning notes in it?
If your medical is expired - and you haven't heard anything. I honestly can't say why? There are 2 things possible..(out of a zillion other things)
1-Interview? check your GCMS - has the officer written any such note about interivew requirement? If any such requirement is mentioned - pls dont leave it upto them to schedule the interview- get on their 'behind' and DEMAND to setup interview ASAP...
2-There could be a simple delay. You are aware that Family Visa targets have been reduced and they will only issue specific number of COPRs each month, so that only certain no. of people with Family Visa arrive in Canada each month. So that could be it.
3-Requesting for Re-Medical is not a must. The officer can simply proceed with the next step.

But honestly, after going through it all, I rather claim ignorance in all matters pertaining to IRCC. They literally have a wheel of fortune kind of thing, instead of fortun its Zillion Reasons, and they can throw anything at you just to delay the application.
I just hope im wrong on the above and you hear the good news today - that your Passport Request has arrived!

Wishing everyone the very best.
Checking the flights now
