    Wow, I can't believe how things have changed! So no where in your PPR email does it write: "Submitting your passport(s) and documents in-person (all nationalities)" ?????

    If you go in person in the morning you should get it back the next day (afternoon). If there is a problem (very small chance of this happening) it may take another day, but everyone seems to get it the next afternoon. If you send by Iranian travel/courier company I think it can take about 10...

    Sorry I don't really have an answer to your question. When you receive the PPR email it will state (as you mentioned) you have 30-days to comply - turn up at the embassy in person to submit your passport or send by courier or authorized representative - and it will tell you the expiry date of...

    Just jumping in here, medicals are valid for one year (so in your case until 26 May 2014). However, as long as there were no problems with your medical results (nothing they would want to check up on) and your file is already in process Ankara generally extends the validity of your medicals for...

    I included a photocopy of my passport(s) and Canadian birth certificate which was notarized by a lawyer. I don't know if that was mandatory for the sponsor to do so, but I did just to be sure.

    Hi mejojo, This page of the form is for family class immigration (specifically spousal sponsorship) through the Ankara visa office. I believe you may have applied under the federal skilled worker program yes? If so, you may wish to look at other areas of the form for help.

    Hi Abe, When were your GCMS notes generated? I believe the date is located at the top (or bottom) of each page. Was this date before or after they sent you a request for an interview? Anything written on the last page of "notes"? Ankara usually follows a pattern where they open the file and...

    Blue Guy, my husband only included big or expensive items - electronics (laptop, mobile, camera, external hard drives), jewelry and antique termeh (Persian cloth). He didn't bring any household items with him (no carpet, for example). He did not include basic items such as clothes, shoes, and...

    No, your wife won't need to show the red marriage/family book to enter Canada. However, I suggest it is a good idea to bring this document (and all other important documents: birth certificate, any education/degrees/diplomas, driving license, driving record - all translated) with her in her...

    Just checked the spreadsheet for the first time in a long time to see how you were all getting along and it's very interesting! Lots of PPRs mixed in with In-Process and Sponsorship Approved!

    All the best to you Abe. I'm sure you've seen all the types of questions they will likely ask that others have provided on the forum so you'll be confident and very successful in the interview. :) It may not be the email you were hoping to receive from the embassy, but at least it is an email...

    Ninakap30, is this the link to the form you are filling out? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3911e.pdf If so, you should look at pages A1-A5 as well as Appendix B. These are the most important. The next declaration pages you do not need to fill out. Any page that has Islamabad...

    It took us a bit more than two months. But most of that time was waiting for the translation of documents, police record, updating my passport to my new married surname, etc. Putting your file together is definitely something you don't want to rush; take your time and make sure you fill out...
