Marlena, see my post about the visa office processing time - really I am so fed up. They have not even opened our file yet! [I spoke to the MP]. NO NEWS And I do think they might be using the passport for background checks [they do in Egypt].

Its a snapshot capture of the file in process - it doesn't affect your processing time, and really I don't even know if they know when you request it...it's being retrieved through the Freedom of Information Act....but I doubt it has any bearing...... I would request it as you need. Have you...

Boncuk, I agree with you completely, you should not have to substantiate your relationship, for that long a period of time. But really, I don't know what to say. Hubby was like today, how they can give us a file number and not even look at our file - anyway. Caips will give us some...

It's very hard to be separated from the ones you love. In our visa office, they do not unify familes who are separated from each other quickly. They pass the ones who are actually living together first, much quicker. The ones who are actually separated can take years to process. this 6 month avg...

In Egypt, they are requesting the passport for continued background checks - this is why when they request the passport we are not excited, as it takes an additional few months to hear from the embassy after the passport request. Every visa office has their own procedure. For sure if Boncuk and...

Not knowing what country your spouse is from, and not knowing if you are applying in Canada or outside of Canada, I cannot tell you which guide in particular to review; however, you really need to read the guide well, in particular, paying special attention to the checklist provided for the...

So sorry for your loss :(.

I was thinking the same thing - coz I KNOW you have no new word yet :o). Inshallah we hear tuesday or wednesday huh? :(

I'm getting in OK.....

Boncuk, I was thinking the same thing, that we have heard these stories before...from the can imm site, and the poster has only a few posts, but the english was like the other poster, who was a man. REAllY, they should IP check these ppl!!! Troills are trolls, and best to be ignored, really...

Leh habibti Boncuk, you deserve it first, wellahy I hope you get it this next week! Or some good news...

I am soooooooooooooo happy for you!!! Glad to hear you are done. Welcome to Canada :-)

I am wondering if the OP did not fully describe his case well..for example, if he were suddenly the guardian of this 8 year old, and didnt' understand the immigration process, and wanted to live in Canada, with his 8 yo nephew, to not disrput the child's daily life, I could understand the...

PMM - thanks for that information, but it does beg the question, how are these staffing numbers decided? Egypt for example, has a large number of applications being processed for all types of immigration - do you happen to know how many I/O's are currently stationed at that visa office...

Dear Boncuk was posting about this on another site, and it does give a good topic for discussion: Why are some visa offices so quick to process and approve individuals, while others are quite lengthy and painful? Last time I checked, the applications are the same, the requirements are the same...

I want to add a few things that been discussed here, from my perspective, and those that I have known who have completed this process and received their PR card. Even if the circumstances which brought two people together are OUTSIDE of the norm, for the applicant's home country....that is...

This is something I was just speaking with my MP about yesterday. There are two major reasons for otherwise acceptable applications to be delayed: 1. the time it takes for a case file to actually be assigned to an I/O [this varies on each visa office, workloads, staff available etc...] )In my...

nguyentu2001 !!!!! That is excellent news!! Congrats. You must be so happy!!!

Thanks for your wishes Marlena - that is so nice of you. Actually Boncuk's spouse's passport has been at the Embassy for almost 4 weeks now! She had her PPR last month, but she is still waiting. I have no idea where they are at with our file :0). Hubby and I are hoping for him to be here before...
