Mehrdad, I must say that for an Iranian, you speak English really well! How did you learn English so well? You're gonna have an easy time in Canada. Did you take ESL classes or did your wife teach you?

Dear month of June, please being us some good news! We believe in you! Please don't crush our hopes :)

Does anybody know whether or not if the applicant has served their two year mandatory military service prolongs the background checks?

Congrats!! I just had a question. How are you in Canada if you applied from outside of Canada? Did you apply and then come here with a tourist visa? We wanted to do that but everyone scared us and told us that it might jeopardize our case.

Based on the spreadsheet data you should be hearing something soon. If your spouse is Turkish, his case doesn't take as long as Iranians cuz the background checks are done faster. I am hoping that I will hear something this month because it's becoming more and more unbearable.

Good luck Mehrdad! You give my husband and I hope. Are you gonna come to canada from Ankara or are u going back to Iran to get your stuff? In any case enjoy yourself in Turkey. God knows you deserve it. And keep drinking real beer! I tasted the Islamic non alcoholic version in iran and it tastes...

I hope we hear something in May. It would be nice to be with our spouses for the summer:)

So to save money and time, can Iranians like Mehrdad just come to canada right after they get their visa in Ankara? Or do they have to go back to Iran and get tickets from there to Canada?

I like your cashier example. I'm just happy to see the lines moving at all. But don't wait to contact your MP because once they check, it gives the people in Ankara a little nudge and it could help.

OMG you've been waiting since February? Have you spoken to your MP? Has anyone given you a reason for this long wait? What hurts the most is when you see those who got it in 5-6 months. As my students say "it's just not fair!":(

I thought so too but when I went to see the case manager for my MP, he " everyone will be interviewed by an immigration officer before getting their PR card". I must have misunderstood him. In any case, thank you for your info. It is one less thing to think about :)

Thanks guys! So they don't have to go to Ankara for an interview by the immigration officer after they get their visa and before becoming a PR? Or is that only once they get to Canada?

Does anybody know whether our spouses that we sponsor have to take an English test before they are given a PR card ?

I have a question that is really confusing me about all of this. So once you get the email asking for the passport ( which I haven't received yet), do you have to hand it in in person? Can't you send it by express registered mail? And once they issue the visa, do you have to go back to Ankara...

Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I agree that mourning days is the least the government can do and people have to protest what has happened. I guess when I see the protests I'm afraid that Turkey may be next country to experience what Iran, Egypt and Syria have with protests, and chaos in the...

Looks like nobody will be hearing anything this week because there will be three days if mourning in Turkey. I don't care if they mourn for 2 weeks, I just hope the protests end and embassies stay open.

Thank you so much for your help! I will try to order them.

What is a GCMS?

I went to see my MP today and according to Ottawa, they are now doing the background checks. I don't know whether I should be happy or not. How long does this background check take? And now that I read that Mehrdad got his PR after 10 months, I think I'll have to wait till Christmas or later:(...

Does anybody know how exactly an MP helps? Will they help you before the 14 month waiting period. What do I ask them for?- a letter of support?, to call Ankara?...
