Hi, Here is our timeline: 2017-08-09 - Passport Request 2017-08-28 - Passport received back with visa affixed In our case it took 19 days. However, we were living in USA at that time and we had to send via FedEx passport to Turkey and back. If your spouse in Turkey already, then remove 9 days...

I am naturalized Canadian and I applied for my child's proof of Canadian citizenship (child was born in USA). Sent documents on October 31, 2017. No news yet.

Hi Guys, Sponsor: Husband - Canadian citizen (user id: tracker_01) Sponsored person: Wife - Citizen of Turkmenistan. My wife is on visitor visa in USA. Please note that my wife was pregnant since the beginning of our application. Therefore, it may have had an effect on our application. Here...

Understood. Thanks for feedback. Main reason for concern: When sponsoring family member, you need to meet financial benchmarks depending on the size of your family. Now that I have child on its way, does that mean that VO has to go back to our application and re-assess for financial eligibility...

Thanks for response. I am aware about the health insurance situation and have already looked into it. My main reason for post is to get thoughts about immigration aspect (i.e. how birth of a child affects my wife's PR Visa which as already been affixed to her passport). I see that some people...

Thanks for response. You had some good points. I will most likely follow your recommendations. However, if there is anymore people who have comments, or have been in this situation, please share in this forum.

I believe you have to apply to the Canadian Visa Office that is responsible for your country of citizenship. It appears that there is an embassy in Peru, but they only process Federal Immigration Programs. If you are applying for study permit, they will forward your application to Mexico...

Sent from Canada via UPS on May 1, 2017 and it was delivered on May 2, 2017.

My timeline: Application was delivered to FBI: May 2, 2017 Credit card charged: July 17, 2017 Thanks.

Thank you CanadaHiker for detailed explanation. Makes sense.

I am aware about dual intent. But dual intent states that VO cannot reject just because you want to stay permanently in Canada. However, you still need to prove that you will leave Canada at the end of authorized stay. I hired a lawyer for visitor visa and we had a very strong case but still got...

Yes, we applied for a visitor visa to Canada but it was rejected. Hence, we came up with USA visitor visa idea.
