Welcome, Ph3laa. My wife's timeline is similar to yours -- March 1. I was told by my MP's asst. -- from what the Embassy told him -- that their timeline was 15-17 months, so we're close to getting ours soon, inshallah.

Nenan, if my wife gets the visitor's visa she applied for in Amman, then it's a possible chance for you to get one to visit your husband if you wanted to do that. Also, I asked my MP's asst. if he could please clearly ask them to provide useful information on our case instead of being told to be...

In perhaps a twisted way, I am somehow glad for being caught up in this process of 15 and a half months and counting, as if my wife's app had been processed in the 6-9 months it was for those who had applied half a year earlier, I probably wouldn't have done anything really meaningful to draw...

Dear CanadaGirl, I think everyone who said that and has had to wait at least a year was sincere except for one person who will remain nameless who acted like it was a big joke sometimes when there were many statements to the contrary from said person in the past. It's why, for instance, we...

+1 to you, Nenan and Kazhal.

Hi Salhadin, I would say it would be a really low chance of approval, unless you happen to have your own business and make regular trips outside of Canada. I met someone at the Embassy in 2010 whose wife got a visitor's visa in that case. As for transferring your file, unfortunately it's sent...

Hi everyone, After waiting 15 months and 10 days, my wife applied for a visitor's visa for one month. The site says the processing time is 5 business days, but she found out it's a minimum of 10 and could be up to 20. The receptionist said they are still not to where they want to be for...

Yes, you can, but the chances of being approved are pretty low because the visa officer thinks that the applicant won't return at the end of their visa. I think it's mostly an excuse, since staying past your visa would jeopardize your PR application. My wife applied for a visa in Amman today...

Re: 6 Months... Dear, Kazhal, I'm all for stepping the pressure up even more if your file and A+M's aren't done by the start of next month. Hang in there!

Re: 6 Months... A+M, you are waiting for Ankara, and they are the good ones. They can't justify taking any longer than the rest of this month for your file, and if they do, I'll also be upset enough to say something that will make Sohrab try to calm me down again, saying to be patient for his...

Congrats, rah. It's good for you and also useful info for the rest of us who are still waiting even longer to show that this system is arbitrary!

Dear Kazhal, Thanks for that info, as you are the first person I've heard of who's used it yet. I perhaps shouldn't be surprised that nothing came of it. >:(

Dear AWS, I didn't use it yet, since it had just been a month more than 14, and my wife is going to apply for a temporary resident visa soon, and if it gets rejected, then I plan to use it.

Hi muffy, My MP's office was able to get an updated timeline from the Amman Embassy of 15-17 months. There is lots of conflicting information out there, even from MPs, lawyers and immigration consultants. There are some who have waited a long time whether they have contacted their embassy a...

Dear Kazhal, You can use the case-specific enquiry form if it's past the 80% processing time, which it is for you. https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/cicemail/intro-eng.aspx?mission=ankara They are supposed to take it more seriously than an email.

Thanks for your thoughts, dear. I think about all of us who are waiting more than 14 months and, inshallah, we will all get PPR in the next month.

Second! :)

I hope soon for you too, A+M, as you are the most positive person on this forum given the responsibilities on your shoulders during your wait.

dirtypolitics, I hope your wife gets PPR soon, and thanks very much for your efforts with the political side of this issue. I agree with your observations about the sponsored spouse having something to do outside the house soon after getting here, in order to adapt to the new and often very...

Congrats, samira, and hope you get PPR soon, inshallah. I didn't mean to ignore what you said that I should be optimistic about the situation when I posted that article. It's been 15 months of processing for me and as many months since I've seen my wife, and I know that success favours the...
