You could try Skilled Workers. That way you could work in Canada while you plan for your wedding. It also tends to make the Visa process go a little more smoothly if you've already been contributing to Canadian society -AND have been following all of the rules ie: Not overstaying, not running...

Usually the 2nd AOR comes a few days before Medicals Received. Though I believe the first office views the medical, nothing is posted until the 2nd office receives it. (Please correct me if I am wrong, folks!) Some VOs don't always give an AOR, but it is often posted within 2-3 weeks after the...

With the request for documents they usually give about 30-60 days (some can be emailed) and in the letter we got it said that failure to meet the deadline would result in the application being processed with the information they had which could lead to a refusal etc..

Were the notes ordered online or by mail? Were the notes requested for himself? If he was requesting notes for you, then he needed to include the form you filled out giving him permission to obtain the notes for your case. Online usually goes through right away. By mail would depend on the...

As above: It's good advice.

The website is based on past trend. I believe it says approximately 80% of straight-forward cases are processed faster than that time, some more complex cases take even longer than posted. As always, CIC is not all that predictable, but if your case is taking longer than posted, you can feel...

There is a section that has some decent notes in it, but otherwise it's just a lot of paper, really. I was asking if it was the first time you ordered thinking that maybe if it's a first request they have more consideration than those of us that request notes more often. Perhaps we're put into...

Congrats! Was it your first time ordering notes?

Did they ask you during the interview what you will do if they refuse the visa? Your spouse can move to Morocco. If you can afford to appeal, you can do that also. There is a thread for that...

Good luck to you! I hope they're on the ball with yours! We ordered on the Aug 11th and are still waiting. I'm hopeful they will be here this week, but won't be too surprised if they're not.

Did this forum just censor the word "baby"? That's a bit extreme..

You could send them a copy/scan of the receipt that shows you paid the full $1040 If there is mention that you can reply by email then a scan of it would be the quickest way. Sometimes they are just checking to make sure you paid so there are no further delays in your application.

I agree, it is totally frustrating, but it would be out of character for CIC if they let us know what was going on in a timely fashion.

Not to be "that guy", but your 8-month mark will be December as the 8 months start when the Paris Office receives it. And I really hope you don't have to wait that long to hear something! And about your notes, the information on them would be up to the day you requested them, so by the time you...

I'm not sure if it is standard or not, but I do know that sometimes they will give the visa on the spot and put it in the passport. Always a good idea to bring it along and save some headache of mailing out the passport. Sometimes they request it because they just have a couple questions or...

If you were in a romantic relationship before she left Canada then it might not be that big of a red flag. The bigger red flag and concern for CIC tends to be couples that met online and get married on the first visit. This would depend on what religions you two are also. Is there any way you...

You should also put a copy of the PPR email (sorry for the late response!) You can put your identifying numbers on that Congrats!

This thread has a lot of interview experiences pasted into it. It's worth reading through all of it to help get prepared http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/spousal-sponsorship-interview-questionaires-experience-preparations-t220698.0.html

Did they give you a deadline in that email? If they say you have 60 days to mail it in, there is a chance that you might not see anything for that full 60 days. You can also order the case notes if you want to check on them, but those take 30 days. A lot of waiting in this game.

The date shows up at the bottom without signing in as well (I see the same one you mention) It might be the date the website itself was updated, not the information. I wouldn't read much into that one.
