You will never ever ever get rejected for showing too much proof, the opposite is not necessarily true.

With the 2000 pages I sent in a cover letter explaining all of our communication, my mom also communicated with her every few weeks on Skype and I sent that in as well. Knowing that it was a short courtship I tried to include as much as possible, Facebook posts, Facebook messages, western union...

I needed to send one, I think everyone that has been processed in Manila has to send one in and I would imagine that is the same in a lot of other places.

I sent over 2000. Keep in mind that everyone has a different set of circumstances, we had a very short courtship and a quick marriage so I think it was appropriate to send more chat logs. This is not a one size fits all process and you will not ever run into problems for sending in too much...

Here's most of the ones under the avatar and some of the other ones you will see when browsing that i can remember. AOR - acknowledgement of receipt. This is sent when they receive your application. File transfer - when they send the file from Canada to the Visa office processing the...

At this point then I would go ahead with what the other lawyer said, include any evidence (DHL receipts, copy of the request letter if you have it. etc) and a letter explaining everything you've done to try get the clearance. Sometimes they can take awhile, we also needed one from Lebanon and...

Sorry so reading your post further it sounds like you haven't sent the app in yet (still working on my first coffee hehe). CIC is aware that Kuwait won't give you a police clearance until they receive a request letter from CIC...

Have you received a request from CIC for the Kuwait police clearance? Kuwait won't process the request for a police clearance unless you include the request letter from CIC We needed to get a police clearance from Singapore and ran into the same issue, without the request letter from the...

I had a very quick courtship and then marriage with my wife, quicker than yours. Lots of evidence when i submitted our app, as well as a follow up trip and then I sent additional evidence, pics, chat logs, western union receipts etc. We got approved faster than i was expecting with no...

They've always been a little all over the place, some people get lucky and get it early, others have to wait a ridiculous amount of time. Sometimes it could be paperwork, clearances, etc causing problems but mostly it seems like they are inept at implementing a proper system that would clear...

This ^^

The first part of the app is for the sponsorship approval, then the file is transferred for sponsored persons part of the app. So for mine the sponsorship approval took place in Mississauga, once i was approved as the sponsor the file was transferred to Manila where my wife was living and it...

When my wife's was a few weeks before expiry I sent them an email asking the expiry date or the medicals and if they could extend them if the application isn't approved before then. A couple days later she got her PR and they phoned her if she could come pick up her passport and be in Canada...

Mine stayed at application received right until about a week before we got the visa when it went to in progress or something like that. Updating of e-cas can be pretty flaky depending on the VO.

Wella are you in the Philippines or in Canada? If you've been trying the Chinese embassy in the Philippines maybe have your spouse or family member contact the one in Canada you might have more luck. I got a lot more help when i contacted the Singapore embassy in Canada than i did trying to...

It's worse than that, there are people actually complaining that it's unfair they are processing Yolanda victims instead of doing apps in order. This attitude (expletive deleted) disgusts me that they would say stuff like that. Part of what makes me proud to be a Canadian is that we help those...

Make sure you include proof of everything that you've done to get the clearances and write them a letter explaining that you haven't been able to get them. I wouldn't want to count on it, but there have been cases of people getting the need for a clearance waived after they've shown proof...

They aren't required with the initial submission as some of the countries you aren't even able to get a police clearance without a request from the embassy, and they won't give you one until you get past the sponsor approval stage. For our Singapore clearance we needed to wait until the VO in...

It's obvious you aren't if you think this is causing big delays. Over 40,000 applicants a year, That's almost a thousand applicants a week approved If 2000 applicants claim they are Yolanda victims it would delay the entire process by less than 2 weeks, but then you have to take into...

they process 40,000 apps from the Philippines a year, the Yolanda victims hardly make any difference on timelines or have caused any delay at all. It amazes me how everyone wants to blame them for delays at CIC.... Basically if people think the Yolanda victims are causing large delays they...
