    CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2012 -2013

    I am getting comfort in the fact that there are quite a few people who have had their Passport requests come in in around 9 - 12 months after the submission to CIC-M. But then there are a lot of 2010 cases still withstanding.. Only time will tell what comes of our batch, but seems like the...

    Congratulations I hope this expedited time frame is not just isolated to you, but is something we can see applied on a broader scale to everyone by the CIC-I office. When did your case first go into in-Process? I have heard that they dont open your file for initial review until 9-months in.

    You are right, the workload does not warrant the two-fold increase in processing time. The only explanation is new protocols passed down from the conservative government in the Ottawa CIC-Headoffices. They are discouraging canadians from getting married in Pakistan it seems. Seems to be...

    Questions regarding visitory visa from Islamabad for sponsored spouse

    Hey Babbi, Applying a 2nd time with a stronger application will not affect your sponsorship application. The chances of getting the visit visa a 2nd time around are slim, unless your circumstances have considerably changed or if you attach documentation to address the "concerns" of the VO...

    I heard that the file went to Ottawa, to the pilot project for the first step, but was eventually transferred to CIC-ISB for phase 2 of the application.

    Questions regarding visitory visa from Islamabad for sponsored spouse

    This is a procedure used in the past in other Visa offices, (not ISB) by my lawyer. You basically order CAIPS notes for the UCI number of the rejected visa application. You give then your email address, and pay a $5 fee: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/form-imm5563.asp They will...
