I'm loving the positive energy lboxixodl, Mrs.Asag and Abe1004! While I always thought it was a good idea to order GCMS notes before, I now know it's a REALLY good idea. My husband's notes arrived yesterday and although it showed all positive things (Eligibility, Criminality, Medical all...

Oh lboxixodl, at first when I saw you wrote "today I celebrate" I thought at first you were going to say you got ppr! When was the last time you got GCMS notes?

Wonderful news deme!! :) :) :) I'm so happy for you and your husband! Congratulations! By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what nationality is your husband?

Many elderly members of my family have said that our immigration process reminds them of the "war days" (Second World War) where the men would get married to their sweet hearts and then go overseas to fight and they would be separate for months or even years. At least now we have...

Sorry to hear about your father-in-law Mrs.Asag. :( Sending you positive thoughts, energy and prayers.

Ohhhh...hmm, that's a different situation then. I would wait until he 100% went back and was LIVING there before notifying them. Because who knows what could happen! PPR email could come next week! The consent form is basically filled out by the person being sponsored. So it's all your...

Seal of approval = awesome! :D

Hmm...don't quote me on this, but I don't think it would set back your application. I know they made a mistake on my husband's address on Ecas (he has a separate mailing address from his residential address and they put it backwards) and we notified Ankara through the "Specific Case Inquiry"...

Hi Abe1004, if your wife can do this it might be easier (she is sponsoring you right?) Otherwise I suggest you fill it out "as her" (as if she were the one making the request) as it must be made by a person within Canada (or citizen, or PR or person with an address in Canada) this is how I did...

Not to be a whine and go on about the strike, but I really think it did create backlog problems for Ankara. Looking at how things were moving along before the strike, everyone's file that recently went in process in December technically "should have" gone in process in August/September (if the...

Is the spreadsheet showing up wonky for anyone else? I'm seeing odd values where the "day" counts should be, like 6.2, 0.8, 1.1, etc. Are these new numbers the percentage of time out of our life that have been waiting? hahaha :D

Sittin'....waitin'.....wishin'.... ??? :P

She can always try, but you should be warned that it is often very difficult to get a tourist visa while a PR application has been filed. Your wife will have to show significant proof and evidence that she will return to Turkey before her tourist visa expires. For example: proof of home...

I agree with what Turkey2013 has said. According to the information provided by CIC http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp , 80% of applications for spousal/common law/conjugal sponsorship at the Ankara visa office are processed within 15 months. As everyone's...

Hi The Blue Guy. I hope some one else here will be of better assistance to you; I have not heard of such an email being sent by Ankara before. Did you send a case specific inquiry or email to the visa office asking about the file? To take a wild guess I am assuming the "lock-in" date could be...

I want to wish everyone a very happy, safe and prosperous New Year. I hope 2014 is the best year yet, and may it be the year we are all reunited with the ones we love. :)

That looks good! I wish Ecas was a bit more descriptive like the GCMS notes because for each visa office it seems like "in process" can mean different things!

This too shall pass. I understand how rough it is, especially during the holiday season. I keep thinking though that if you can get through this (both personally and together as a couple) you will be able to get through anything in the future. Hopefully this is the most difficult experience...

Merci Mehrdad, you're not far behind us so I'm sure you'll hear good news soon too :)

Sorry, I'm not on the sheet: Application received at CPC-Mississauga: 24 May 2013 Sponsorship Approved: 14 June 2013 File in-process: 16 December 2013
