I did. It was a very bad experience, because they quite often cancel their connecting flight from Abu Dhabi to Toronto, and you have to wait at the airport for 20+ hours, without a room. They were very very strict with the size of the bags, and the weight. The best way is to pay $50 extra per...

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the timeline used to be 18-20 months for wife, and 20-26 months for husband, but these timelines are now being stretched. I spoke with someone from my MP's office last week, and they indicated that due to the workload in Islamabad, they are now...

My application's status changed last week. I guess they have finally opened the file in Islamabad. From what I understand, it should take 4-5 months from this point on. No letter received for additional information, or new Police clearance, or remedical though. That too may take a few...

All you have to do is lookup your area's federal MP, and you will find their phone number. Call the office, they will connect you to a rep. The rep will ask you to come in to provide the information, or you can simply email them everything, and they will find out what they can. It takes them...

Can anyone please let me know how to order CAIPS? I am currently in Canada. Thanks.

If you are a citizen, then your new child is a Canadian Citizen at birth, no matter where the child is born. The impact to your wife will be that she cannot get a new medical performed till the child is born, since she cannot get a Xray while pregnant. Your new born child can get neccessary...

The fact that you have a child together, and his name is on the birth certificate proves your relationship is genuine, so this is not a problem. As long as you can show a permanent residence address, even if its of a freind or relative, and you file a tax return for year 2011, even if its NIL...

Hi, The law is that you cannot get married before you are divorced from your first wife. What you MUST do now is perform a new nikah. Also show proof that you have lived together before, and after the new nikah. Your first nikah has no meaning in the eyes of Canadian law. Use the same case...

By the looks of it, its taking less than 12 months from the date the file is transferred to Islamabad to processing. This is an improvement, since a few months ago it was taking 14-15 months before the file was even touched in Islamabad. Can anyone else give out their timelines if their file...

If we look at the case of; Fj423---------------------- January 2011 [H] - Received remedical request This means, people that applied in January 2011 are seeing movement on their applications. This is a positive development. It still means it will take another 2-3 months for Fj423, but its a...

I just checked, they have not yet updated the site. It may take another week or two before they update the new numbers. They typically do so at the end of day Tuesday, or end of day Wednesday, so it may happen tonight or tomorrow night. Keep in mind, if they increase the time, or keep it the...

I applied over 8 months ago to sponcor my wife, and the application reached Islamabad in July. I understand that Islamabad will not even touch my application before August or September. I am thinking of going to spend a few weeks with my wife, take some pictures of our outings, and sending it...

I can see people mentioning the date "27th January", where did this date come from? Did someone just think it up themselves, or is there some official announcement scheduled? Can someone please advise? Thanks.

So, no point in getting remedical done. For police verification, it needs to be sent to Islamabad, right? Is there a particular address to send it to, or just PO BOX 1042 or something like that.

I applied in May 2011, and my case was transferred in July 2011 to Islamabad. My wife had her medical and police verification performed in April 2011. By the looks of it, her application will not be touched before July or August 2012. I am thinking of getting her medical and police...

Samina, if your case is July 2010, there must be something going on with it that is causing a delay. Your case is delayed enough for you to go an speak with your MP. They will at the very least help find out what the problem is. It is possible that once you find out why its stuck, that you...

Is there anyone in this forum that applied in the year 2011, and have had their interview in Islamabad, or has received their visa? If there is anyone on this forum, or if you know of anyone, please let us know. I am just trying to guage how long the queue has become. 2-3 years ago, it was...

I have not heard anything yet. I know others that applied for a complete wedding in February, and their spouce in Pakistan is now being called in for an interview, or being asked to send in their passports. I am guessing it will take my case another 3-5 months.

Processing times in Islamabad boil down to funding of staff. The speed at which processing occurs is directly proportional to staffing in Islamabad, and the number of applications filed. The Harper government is generally reducing staffing, or placing a freeze on immigration related staff in...
