How long does it usually take to get a response back from CSIS? I sent a fax to them in mid-April and I still have not heard back from them.

London >:( They're the worst! They give you no information whatsoever. You cannot even get in contact with anyone over there. They approve the cases they want to approve and they hold back the cases that they want to hold back. In my opinion, the London office does nothing more than...

That would be highly unfair of them to deny a visitors visa just because there is a spousal sponsorship in process. Leaving couples apart for nearly two years is bad enough, but denying a visit, that's adding insult to injury. I called the call centre today and they told me that if my husband...

Thanks sbwv09! :)

Reading this post has me concerned now! My husbands PR application is in process still and it has been in process for quite some time now. If he tries to apply for a visitors visa, will this have any impact on our spousal sponsorship application? For example, if he applies for a visitor's...

My husband has permanent residency in Sweden, he is not a citizen yet and therefore he does not hold a Swedish passport. He still holds his Iraqi passport and we want to try to apply for a visitors visa but we don't know anything about this process -- where to get the application, who has to...

My husband wants to try to apply for a visitors visa to Canada. May someone please explain to me how can we go about this? Do I have to fill out an application or does my husband have to fill one out? Where can we get the application? Where do we submit it? How much does it cost? I am not...

??? I'm so sorry PMM, but I'm a bit confused with your answer. So the sponsorer is the only one that can cancel the application, right? The applicant can not do so unless they get their sponsorer to cancel it, right? Or am I wrong :-[!

Is there anyone here who has started a sponsorship case in late 2008 or early 2009 still waiting for their case to be finalized?

My husband's background checks have been going on for over a year now and each time we enquire about the status of our case they say that they're still awaiting the results of the background checks . . . RIDICULOUS!!! It's all just a bunch of political racisim >:(.

I've always wondered . . . Is the sponsorer the only one that can cancel an application or can the applicant cancel the application also?

Yesterday I called the IO is in charge of my husband's case (the IO that conducted my husband's interview, which was over a year ago), he told me that a year ago, after the interview, he sent the file for a routine background check and that he had expected that in June of 2009 that the visa...

Unfortunately no :'( But I'm praying that by the end of this month we'll hear some good news as after March 26 it will be a year after my husband's interview. How about you SweetG???

only $5.00, and it takes about a month for you to receive them.

Hi Ha Nguyen! Which visa office are you going through? And what is your timeline? Good Luck to you too!!!

Hi Ha Nguyen, Yes, the IO that done the interview approved everything. My husband passed the interview and the IO approved the application for a visa. The IO said to my husband that he should be getting his passport request in about a month. However, that turned out to be a lie. We did not...

Yes, we've been waiting for the passport request since March 2009 (husband had his interview on March 26, 2009) -- we've been waiting for about a year now. :'(

Congratulations Gemini!!! :) May you please give some background information to your case? Was it inland or outland? What visa office did you go through? Thanks

The police clearance are the documents that are sent up front with the application. If they are approved/cleared, they do not need to be renewed like the medicals, correct? Now, once an application has been approved and it has been sent into background checks, when they are doing background...

Any new news from those who are going through the London visa office?
