For money transfers you can use Habib Bank if your in North York or Mississauga they charge like 3% for exchange and nothing for transfer, it takes like 5 or 6 days for money to get there. And I think the bank you transfer to takes like 200 rupees when money goes directly into her account. But...

Another Idea I had - when they ask for medical - why not send them everything they will ask for - for example police clearance, remedical, and even passport (if not planning not to go anywhere for sometime). This way you don't waste time sending and waiting for things going back and forth. Any...

I have a question I am Canadian Citizen (Born in Canada) and sponsoring wife from Pakistan with April/2011 AOR. If I accepted job in USA (with TN VISA) and moved there with my wife are there any consequences I should be aware. Thanks.

I can only speak for myself and what I would do. I would NEVER ask for a 30 day extension and have my wife have the medical in Karachi. I would tell her to go to Lahore or Islamabad and pay the extra cost. Trying to save a few hundred bucks will add a month or more to the process.

Congrats Ali, Anything you can share that might help the rest of us. Anything you did that was special because it looks like you were well ahead of schedule.

Thanks for your response Danny4450. I just realized I have my lawyer as a representative for my sponsored wife. If they mail correspondences from Islamabad to Canada wont that add to the lag time. Is it better that I have mail go to my wife and then consult with lawyer. Thanks again for your...
