    Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

    It's not a private number, this I can tell you. When they called my husband (who is in Turkey), the call was coming from a number in Ankara. The same day, I suspect them to have tried to contact me also (I'm in Canada). It was still night time for me, so I didn't answer. The number showing up on...

    In the instructions, they clearly mention you don't need to provide any proof if your address is in Canada. I believe this checkbox is a reminder for people having a postal address out of Canada. Of course, it will never hurt to add a scan of a PR card or a Canadian passport, so it's up to you...

    No, you don't need to sign it as a spouse. It's only for a couple giving access to a third person. Your wife can fill it out online, print it, sign it, scan it, save it as a PDF file, then send it to you by email. The same thing goes for the request form (you input data, print, sign, scan, save...

    According to their Website, they are working tomorrow. What makes you think the Embassy could be off? Update: I see, tomorrow is Family day. This is not a Canadian holiday, but a provincial holiday in four provinces (BC, AB, SK, ON).

    Yes, some good news on our side. We were finally able to access eCAS today (it didn't work for 10 days) and our status changed to In Process on February 4, the same day as the interview. It looks like the visa officer believed our marriage is bona fide.

    Ours is Paris. Strange! I ordered a second set last evening. If there is still no activity, I'll seriously wonder where the visa officer wrote her concerns down!

    It looks like you have the wrong interview date in your profile timeline... unless you had one yourself in Canada.

    The worst is when it stops working 2-3 days after your spouse had an interview at the visa office. Ouch!
