Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
Hello everyone...newbie here.. I just want to ask you guys if somebody from this forum has an idea about spousal sponsored applicant like me where VO is Abu Dhabi?

After 6 months of waiting since I forwarded all the documents they required for my application, the embassy requested me to undergo medical examination last February- ME results have been received the same month... After 4 months the immigration has asked me to submit the Saudi Police Clearance together with a copy of my new valid passport (Biographical Page), which I also submitted 2nd week of July 2015.

I have no idea what comes next coz i just rely everything on the so called "waiting game".. Does anybody here know or even an idea about the process? Thanks in advance.. ;-)

Hello guys I just want to ask a question does CEM email you if they are going to send your passport back to you with visa? does it include your confirmation of permanent residence in the mail? When do they email you that you need to attend PDOS seminar?

I emailed an inquiry at the beginning of July, and they replied one week ago saying "still processing", but on the website it says all they have done is received it, no processing. Is this taking longer then normal? Should I be worried? It seems like I am way behind the curve!

Hi everyone,

I know this is intended just for timelines but I hope you can answer some queries.

-Im a PR first landing was May 26, 2013 Sponsored by my father.
-Went back to Manila after 2 weeks to work.
-Got engaged Feb 2014
-Left my job Aug 2014
-Got married Sept 2014
-Went back to Canada March 2015 but wife is still in Manila.
-Currently residing in the Halton Region, Ontario.
-Started working April 2015
-Currently in the process of completing documents with my wife. She just sent me her Proof of Medical and will be arriving early next week. She underwent upfront medical exam.
-Once that package arrives I'll be able to send the application within 2-3days.

A few queries:

1. I have no Option C printout as this is only my 4th month here in the country, and 3rd month working. I do have proof of income through my company's pay slips, I'll also be submitting proof of income from my previous employer in Manila. Also attaching a letter from my father (since he is my sponsor) in support of my application for my wife guaranteeing that we wont seek social assistance from the province of Ontario should my wife be approved this includes allowing us to live in their house rent free and initially providing daily necessities until we have found steady jobs. Will these suffice to get my sponsorship approved?

2. For the applicants/sponsors: Before sending in the application, any final tips before sending the application to CPC-Mississauga?

3. I found these on the older thread regarding timetables. Can someone help me with these accronyms?

sa = Sponsorship approved?
ppr = ?
upfront = ?
medical result received = may 22,2015
dm = ? Decision made? Does that mean that the Embasssy has made a decision on the approval? and do they inform you immediately?
voh = ? Visa on hand?

For those who already got their visa's approved:

4. Based on experience and current timetables, looking like a 10month period of application from submission to approval right?

5. How many months was your spouse given to fly in to Canada from Visa issuance? 2-3 months?

6. Upon your spouse's arrival in Canada did you have to join your spouse in the Immigration room to sign documents? or did you just wait for your spouse at the arrival area?

Hope you guys can help me out with my queries.

Thank you and I hope everyone's families get reunited the soonest.
