My best advice to anyone is to be extremely organized. Have your ducks in a row. Check and recheck everything to make sure there are no gaps in dates and that everything is signed and dated where appropriate. Mistakes can be costly in both time and effort. Also, it doesn't hurt to keep...

Yeah, that's how mine was too. The original had a stamp from Rabat and the translated copy had a stamp from the translator certifying the translation. The last time my husband had to provide an updated police check, the embassy at Rabat also wanted to see a copy of the original marriage...

I think I recall my husband having to take our marriage certificate to Rabat for a stamp. I know there is a stamp on it from Rabat. I don't think I had to submit his birth certificate as part of the supporting documents for the application but I did have to submit his Moroccan passport and...

Seems like you are hearing more than I am. Hopefully, we both will get some good news very soon. Good luck.

I've not heard anything since about March when they requested that my husband send in another police check and proof of recent contact. That seems like eons ago. I did check the website last week while visiting my husband and it has no new news...just says the application is in processing...

I'm heading there in two weeks!! I've been there before in July and it is hot....just as you might expect. But, Marrakesh is a wonderful city that truly wakes up at night. There's a lot going on and a lot to do. I really love their gardens and parks.

Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you. This has been a long time coming! Enjoy the rest of your journey in life. Good luck on your future together with your spouse in Canada. :)

You're so right. I've been on both sides of this - once as the principal applicant and again as the sponsor. Hindsight being what it is, I should have moved back to the US when I met and decided to marry my husband....get myself established which would have taken less time than it did for me...

I totally feel for your situation.... I'm in a hard spot myself. I wanted to relocate to Morocco and live with my husband (had a job offer teaching English in Rabat with numerous tutoring opportunities to make even more money) but a few years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare medical condition...

Yeah, well..... High probability of success or not, appeals take time....as in years in some cases.....tons of money in immigration lawyers and it causes such emotional and physical stress on couples.... I just don't know if I have much fight left in me at this point. I'm going to just leave...

...and sadly, you don't have to look too far or twist the facts too much to find a hundred red flags in our application. I just wish they'd stop wasting time and deny the application if that is their intention so I can decide what to do next, if anything. I think they secretly relish the power...

I find that to be true the more I read various threads. I also found the whole process of getting married to my husband there was almost a no-go for the same reason. I got the impression that because I was married and divorced before that they had in their mind that our relationship was a sham...

When I created an account for my husband through the CIC website, there is a profile tab. I found an option to get monthly updates on his file. I checked the box. Whether or not you sign up for updates or not makes absolutely zero difference because you won't hear from anyone until they want...

I never got an update. My husband's file was sent to the Rabat VO on October 30, 2017. There was no communication from Rabat until they wanted my husband to provide the original Arabic copy of our marriage document, an updated police check and proof of contact in mid to late March 2018. What...

I was just thinking that if his medicals were done in Rabat and mailed to the VO in Rabat that it should take no time at all for the VO to get the medicals and update his file. That is, if it is mailed. Not sure of the method they use. And thanks for the well wishes. :)

My husband did his in Casablanca. It is good your husband went to Rabat for his. That shortens the logistics and gets things moving even faster. Good luck on your journey!

In my case, the doctor was very good to send the results the day after my husband took his medical exam. I don't know if they submit it by mail or electronically, but the VO got it and updated his file in less than a week, if I remember correctly. The doctor was even kind enough to call my...

Well said.

This visa office is the worst! I had dealings with them about 8 years ago for an unrelated matter to my sponsorship application and they were bad then....even worse now. I guess I'll just have to sit and wait for them to make a decision on my husband's file since ordering the notes will likely...

Driss77, thank you so much for your kind words. Deep down I know that my husband won't leave me. He comes from a very good family and is very loving. I've also done a lot for him as well. I put him through school, which earned him his dream career with Ryanair. So, I know deep down that...
