mdanish11, I'm afraid no one can help you in this regard - waiting is the name of the game. Unfortunately, the processing time in Islamabad CHC is extraordinarily long and visa applicants are advised to apply well in advance of their planned trip. All the best - hopefully you'll get it by Friday.

I see..In that case, hopefully you'll get your passport with visa soon! ;)

Well it doesn't actually mean that. But I think it's a safe assumption that things are moving in the right direction. Good luck bud. They'll ask for your passport soon hopefully.

Completely agreed with you on the whole thing but not with the part that Pakistan has the largest amount of fraudulent and rejected cases. Let's not malign our own selves unless you have some data to back it up with. Our wait time is huge because of many factors and yes fraudulent cases might be...

You can use your friend's credit card - you should be able to use your wife's prepaid credit card as well. Both are okay. If you are inside Canada, you can order form IMM 5401 (it takes about a week to come thru mail from CIC) and you can take that to the bank and make the payment and attach a...

Based on information here(2b), yes he can get an open work permit. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=177&t=17 More information on application process here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who.asp

usually a medical is not required for TRV - but if they need it, you'll get an email and message on myCIC to get a medical done. Once the visa is approved, you'll get an email and message on your myCIC account asking you to mail in your passport. And that's it. You mail in your passport and...

myCIC doesn't send any update about passport being received or sent back out. Have you been checking the return tracking number to see if that's been activated?

Return ticket is always a good idea if you are coming on a TRV. Having said that, though, my wife came on a trv without a return ticket and she wasn't asked by the border officer about it. I was really nervous about it but nothing happened. So - return ticket is the safe side but I am an example...

Just think twice before you go berating others' nationalities. It doesn't make you look smarter. Or better than the rest of them

I understood what you were saying before you started being patronizing and offensive and I still understand what you are saying. I simply don't agree with it is all. The husband should rather leave the UCI field blank than putting in his wife's UCI. That's what I did and that's what I was told...

Yes - I completely understand the issue since I've gone thru both PR and TRV applications. If you are mentioning the UCI in an letter to CIC (like invitation or letter of support), it might be okay since the VO will figure out one way or the other what she's talking about. However, in the TRV...

Not true - There are two UCI numbers - one application # but 2 UCIs.

I reply to anyone giving misleading (not by choice - just by error) information. Just don't want anyone else's application getting hurt by someone's assumed information

Notarization is not a requirement but I got it done. It just gives a tone of seriousness to your letter. I got my invitation letter and an affidavit stating that my wife return upon expiry of allowed stay notarize. She got her TRV. So I'm assuming notarization helped. However, it's not a...

you are throwing in too many terms again - refused entry and deportation are not the same thing. To answer your original question: "Have you ever been refused admission" - Answer is "NO"

you know what..that's actually what I'm thinking about. Maybe I'll have plead to the lady at the check in counter. Anyone with similar experience?

You specifically said that there are "no two UCIs" - and that's not true.

First, let's not malign a whole country based on a person's opinion. The theory behind TRV is simple, tell the visa officer your reason to visit and convince them that you'll return to the home country by showing them ties to home. This usually includes property in your name, a sustainable job...
