She means the Canadian embassy in Iran has been closed indefinitely! http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/iran/index.aspx?view=d I think you still need to send it to Turkey. There is no reason that your spouse will actually need to go there. If they ask for an interview, I'm sure they would...

I would say it means you cannot travel as a Canadian PR with that document. You will need to bring your PR card if you leave Canada.

I would assume it's based on when the application is received by the office in ND and when it was filed, and not the ppr. Some people are asked at the beginning, and others not for the ppr. Judging by the spreadsheets, it seems they're processing applications filed from the end of March/ early...

It is possible to submit it later. Just send a case specific enquiry to the NDVO and inform them of your situation. From what I have seen, they usually will reply with something along the lines of "we will send another request closer to the time that the visa is ready to be issued, but this will...

You don't have to change your name when you get married. Well, at least not in Canada...

I imagine you can re-apply again not long afterwards. You can at least appeal the decision (if it's not in your favour). Can you share your timeline (application date, sponsor approval, ppr...)? How come it's taking so long? Is this the first correspondence you've had from NDVO asking for more...

First off, it makes me happy to know we're not the only Canadian-Indian couple who applied as common-law. :) Second, I would get that letter from your mum notarized or as an affidavit. Do you have mobile phone bills or ANYTHING that was mailed there or even sent electronically with the address...

That could be a red flag, unless you had indicated in your application that this would happen (which it sounds like it didn't). What documentation did you provide?

The immigration officers are Canadian citizens,and they are the ones who make the decisions on applications. There are however a lot of Indian support staff workers.

That's right, there is no limit. Send what you feel comfortable. Just CIC has so many applications coming through, they won't go through hundreds of photos from one application, particularly if it is not very suspicious. I guess just try and compile a 'timeline' of your relationship.

Send no more than 30. I was told by a friend who works for CIC that they won't even look at more than 10-20 photos usually. They also DO NOT appreciate people sending naked images together to 'prove' that they are an actual couple (apparently some people do this)... So in regards to your...

Since she is under 30, she can apply for a working holiday visa for Canada. It's valid for 1 year, but can be renewed for an additional 1 year. It takes only a few days/weeks to get, but there is a limited supply per year. Since you are from the uk and canada, odds are you won't qualify for a...

Thanks! I hope so! We're actually an interracial couple (brown and white), but considering we have all the documentation, hopefully this shouldn't hold up anything. I guess it's just frustrating and nerve racking waiting! We just hope everything goes smoothly and they don't request anymore...

We also have applied as a common law couple (New Delhi). I wonder just because, common law is not that common for Indians (especially an inter racial relationship), and we are not married, will it take more time to process our application? We are in the relationship since over 4 years, also we...

I just hope there isn't some sort of favouritism going on, especially when it goes to India! On another note, do both the sponsor and applicant receive UCI's? Are you able to check on ECAS under both id's?

How come your already got your ppr but you didn't apply until the end of May?! It's not fair how ND works. People from April are still waiting for this... :( Anyhow, in regards to your question, just send a case specific enquiry with this change. Also, it might be good to include the address...

Actually, once your file has been transferred out of the country, you will have to contact that office only with any new documentation. Mississauga will not touch it. Just make a case specific enquiry with the other visa office and you can then link it to your file number and attach the file as...

You need to contact the MP for your riding. Go to this website and type in your post code to figure who this is: parl.gc.ca/Parlinfo/Compilations/HouseOfCommons/MemberByPostalCode.aspx?Menu=HOC

We were in a very similar situation. There is no way you can update your address until a client ID/App # has been issued to you. Wait until you are approved in Mississauga, then you can update your Canadian address online, and also send an email/case specific enquiry to the visa office...

Just apply separately after you submit the application. They won't even know since they probably wouldn't have even looked at the application (if the processing times stay longer by then). She probably will have gone there and back and they still wouldn't have seen the pr file! I wouldn't worry...
