    I got the same request in April. They're simply 4 pages in your passport that say ALTERATIONS AND OBSERVATIONS at the top. Photocopy these pages and send them with the email the Colombo VO sent you

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    I just applied for the notes today. Maybe you'll have better luck if you apply again as the system must have been updated with this information by now? Hopefully you'll get your PPR before you even get the notes but there's no harm in trying. You can also post your notes in the forum and see if...

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hi IRONMAN7777, My file is in the Colombo Visa Office. It appears to be a bit slow because people from the Sri Lanka forums have been complaining about not getting any news despite applying in June-July 2015. My husband was here on a 20 day vacation and he left on the 2nd of June. Both of us...

    Thanks everybody for your replies -- they were very helpful and now I'm considering applying for a visitor visa. Do you recommend applying online?

    Can I apply for visitor visa while I wait for my PR?

    Hello! It has been 6 months since I've applied for my spousal visa and it's becoming extremely difficult for me and my husband to live separately. Is it considered acceptable to apply for a visitor visa so that the husband and wife can live together in Canada while they wait for the PR?

    NOVEMBER 2015 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

    Hi! Hope everybody is doing well. So I hadn't seen any updates in my ECAS (three lines) for a while now but I recently received an email asking for copies of any Alterations and Observations on my passport. My current passport doesn't have any so I copied the blank pages and sent it to the VO...

    Processing time for spousal visa - Sri Lanka

    It says 17 months but a lot of people get theirs sooner (even within 3-4 months)! :) My ECAS says my meds have been received -- that's the last line and my husband got an email saying our application has been sent to the Sri Lankan embassy.

    Processing time for spousal visa - Sri Lanka

    You have to get the clearance for any location where your partner has stayed for 6 months or longer. It took me about 2 months to receive mine (one address in Kandy and one in Colombo). You have to keep calling them to ensure you get your clearance asap.
