    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    faridzad, I am quite confused, really your file was not opened for 4 years? This is for spousal sponsorship or parents? Why didn't you involve an MP to look into the cause of the delay. Once the process time has been reached (according to CIC website, 14 months for Ankara) you have every right...

    You and your wife are in my thoughts Mehrdad. Don't give up hope! I understand completely how you are feeling. My husband and I were apart for a year before we reunited. During this year so much happened (good and bad) and we couldn't be there (physically) to support one another. But in the very...

    Abe1004, I agree with negmeg to order GCMS notes. It's the only way to truly get an idea of what is going on in your file. I suggest ordering them as soon as you can because it does take another 30 calendar days for you to receive them. Don't give up!

    I have heard many times that CIC is not happy about staples. I called CIC about the question myself and the agent told me that when the application arrives the office worker will detach all the forms (so if there are staples they will have to pull them out) and they re-organize the papers...

    faridzad, I suggest you email Ankara and ask them this question. I find it strange they will not provide a translator for you. There are Persian translators working at the embassy. In the email, you should also tell them your friend's name and passport number and say he will be coming with you...

    Congrats! That was quick! :) Hang in there Mehrdad. It's likely background/security checks that they are waiting on. I know recently Ankara is sending out PPRs really quickly, but generally speaking female applicants go through faster. That's not always the case, but usually it is male...

    Question! My husband got his International Driver’s Permit. He will also be bringing to Canada his original Iranian driver's license with him (the new immigrant settlement department here will translate it for him). Is it 100% necessary that he also brings: (a) "a reference from his auto...

    Good questions and I am also eager to know the answers. I would be careful about how much jewellery you take. As the websites you shared indicates you don't need to pay tax when you arrive in Canada, BUT there could be an issue since you will be stopping in Turkey for a few days. I think though...

    Don't quote me on this but I think she will also receive "landing documents" as well as her passport back with the visa inside. The landing documents she needs to give to the immigration officer at the point of entry (airport, example) to indicate that she is landing in Canada as a permanent...

    Thank you soooo much! Can't wait for everyone else to get it as well. I'll stick around, just like you, as I feel like I've learned a lot during this process and it would be a waste not to share what I know with others. We really are all in this together!!! Thanks negmeg!!!!!!! :D Thank you...

    Hi Mehrdad, Just putting in my two cents here, but as far as I'm aware (and based on what I have read on this forum) with the Ankara visa office, once you see "in process" it's very unlikely you will be asked for an interview. Not to say it would 100% NOT happen, but what I gather is: the...

    Hi All, A bit off-topic question. Anyone else filing their Canadian income tax return for the first time as a married person? If so, how are you filling out Schedule 5 and/or the spouse's income information? I contacted the Canadian Revenue Agency today and I wasn't happy with the answer I got...

    Any news Rocky2014? Well I guess now it's safe to say for me when Ankara says "shortly" they also don't mean within 3 weeks. I'm wondering if we got fed a standard line to shut us up or something ::) :P Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope we are all with our loved ones soon xoxo
