    Re: form IMM5563 the sponsor should send the full package. I filled form 5563 and the credit card information form and asked my wife to fill and SIGN form 5475, scan it and e-mail it to me. Then I sent everything out via CanadaPost with a "tracking number". It took exactly one month for them to...

    Thats "not cool". They are pushing us to the breaking point. We should take our tents and camp every weekend in Ottawa and take signs with Jason Kenny's pictures and a big X on them and cheer Damascus family sponsors wants change. Our voices should be heared

    I agree. One reason is politics. Jason Kenny won the elections for the conservative party with votes from chinees and indians and they worked hard on that and there were definetly promises to them. I would imagine short processing times for them to get thier families is one ! Our votes are not...

    Hi maxalun, Who is the sponsor? you or your wife? are you both in Canada? If you are both in Canada then you can get the CAIPS or GCMS under the privacy act and you'll not need the consent form. If not then you'll need the consent form and you should choose access to information and you have to...

    If it was not clear in my previous post, the lady I spoke to assured me that we will be notified where our files will be transfered. And yeh, politics is at the heart of all the delay the is taking place so they can't be separated. All the signs say they are shutting down the embassy in...

    So visa officers can login online in Damascus and access medical files of a client in Paris (based on name or immigration file# or the serial# on the green slip) and get the results on line! They can do this right ?

    Sohrab: Since you were in Damascus and work for CIC can you please tell us how the medicals are transfered from Paris to Damascus? is it by doplomatic mail or is there an online system designed for this purpose. I am guessing the later ! I hope this is not a classified information and your...
