    Background check (CSIS)

    subhanallah. You are going through Kenya, not Damascus , so really it's only a guess here.. but if all other things have passed and the relationship is deemed genuine [there is no interview] OR if the interview has happened, and it's good; if the background is good; if all the fees are paid, I...

    Background check (CSIS)

    Paradise - that is good news! They (CSIS) have completed their part. It doesn't mean good or bad [ie they did not tell you what they found obviously], so assuming he is clean and there were no 'security issues', you should be almost done :-). Alhumdulelah. Let us know how the next few weeks...

    HOW DO I FIND AN EXPERIENCED LAWYER ?

    I have to concur with Marlena. It's a huge amount of money to have a lawyer do your case. If you are careful, due diligent and do well-organize your file, you should be more than fine to do it on your own [many have done it]. I had a less than traditional (and somewhat complicated) case, yet we...

    Sominal - possibly his exisiting fingerprint/clearance expired? I don't know when you did your original fingerprints [your husband]. It's really hard to tell what that means, except that they are processing his security check and that they require somethign additional [maybe his original prints...

    sponsoring a parent - your advice please

    as taken from the guide 5196 : http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5196E7.asp To calculate your available income, you will need a document called an “Option-C Printout.” It is the equivalent of the last notice of assessment you would have received in respect of the most...

    Decision made (status changed)- Passsport sent out 25 day ago

    Decision made (status changed)- Passsport sent out 25 day ago

    usually the two weeks is the time it takes for you to get the passport to them [usually one day] ....the time for them to process...and then the time for you to get it back [usually one-two days as well]. Time is obviously of the essence for you. If you don't hear anything by the end of this...

    Decision made (status changed)- Passsport sent out 25 day ago

    I am not familiar with your visa office but here are a couple thoughts... -in our visa office they will often request the passport early, to do background checks, and then once the visa is actually issued, it will change to decision made (do you have an idea of when the E-cas status actually...

    Medical not to be done until they send me instructions?

    canw - you dont need a rep, you just need to read the guides and forms well before submitting :). This is the most stressful process I think any of us go through. Many, many people [myself included] have passed through by doing it on our own. Even we did not have an interview. It's crucial to...

    Sponsoring a spouse from Egypt

    Questions about passports and Egypt. OK, once a file has actually been approved, and the passport only needs the visa stamp, I have found that can take one week to 10 days, but not more than two weeks, from the time the passport is requested, to the time that the passport is returned. HOWEVER...

    Medical not to be done until they send me instructions?

    Good Call Leslie - I was looking at all the forms and was thinking....what...???? I know that skilled workers, in fast track have to wait - but I had not heard of any spouses doing that. I think the OP should make sure that the sponsorship was approved for the right application (1) and that...

    Medical not to be done until they send me instructions?

    canadawannabe, what was the date on your application forms? I think this is the new fast track system, like what they are using in Damascus. You are right in that most ppl previously have sent their applications with their finger prints and medicals, as that is what is required in their region...

    How to check my case status for Alberta Provincial Nominee Program

    As I am not familiar with the PNP files, really can't advise you. Usually, if you have a client ID or file number you can see some information on the CIC website; however that might be different for your particular program. Have you tried posting your question in the forum dealing with PNP's...
