I know how to do it from Ottawa: - Ottawa-Montreal (KLM bus) - Montreal-Amsterdam (KLM) - Amsterdam-Istanbul (KLM) - Istanbul-Ankara (Turkish Airlines) There are Turkish Airlines flights going from Ankara to Istanbul every hour. From Istanbul, KLM to Vancouver, with one stop in Amsterdam :)

What fascinates me the most is the use of suffixes in these languages plus the syntax (word order). When I translate something from Turkish to French, I must do it from the end to the beginning of the sentence. It's gymnastics for the brain and I love it!

Yeah, we were discussing nationalities, then I thought: hey, Azeri is also a Turkic language!

I already knew about you, my dear, but Georgian is not a Turkic language!

The same way I'm just Canadian on my passport ;)

Just out of curiosity, are you from Azerbaidjan? Since your wife is, I assume you are also. As my husband is Turkmen (from Afghanistan), I'm somehow interested in all Turkic languages. Actually, I started learning Turkish before I met him. Anyway, I'm pleased to see we're not the only...

I won't be allowed to attend the interview though. And I'll look like a zombie! An Ottawa-Ankara round-trip within five days is somehow crazy, but what else can I do? I really want to go, but can't really go, so my health will suffer a bit :(

In the mean time, your eCase status will change to "In Process" ;)

No, the best way to know if Ankara received your application or not is to request your GSMC notes. From mine, I know for sure our application arrived over there a week after sponsorship got approved. I had to wait for almost three months for sponsorship approval and our file has now been sitting...

If you read my post carefully, you'll see I'm talking about non-Iranian applicants, so the other person is not Erina's husband. Go read discussions about other visa offices and you'll see that many (if not most) applications get completed with the status still "Application received". Updating...

Hahaha! We should ask another question: what's wrong with non-Iranian applicants? For them, eCase always sticks to "Application Received", whenever the application was received (mine was in April 2012 and I know about someone whose application was received a month later). Don't rely too much on...

The only thing that is sure is that I'll fly from Ottawa to Ankara on Feb 1-2 to support him and show the VO I truly exist, and that I'll be back in Ottawa on... Feb 5. If he's granted a PR visa, he'll have to change his return flight and come back to Istanbul alone. It's almost impossible for...

Age, culture and education can be very important factors when it comes to assessing the genuineness of a relationship (for passing eligibility). In our case, these factors probably raised red flags, as my husband and I are coming from very different backgrounds (Quebecer vs Turkmen from...

No, it's much quicker than that! I've got approved on July 23 and our file arrived in Ankara on July 30. For the processing, you can't really tell because eCase is not systematically updated. I know for sure our file is being processed at the moment, but our status is still "Application...

Yeah, and that's actually sad. 2010, common!

There is still one from... 2010 (Kurdistan-kazhal's husband).

Actually, they shouldn't rely on the waiting times for deciding when we can make an inquiry or not. Even though delays vary from one VO to the other, CIC says 80% of spousal cases should be completed within 12 months (and this includes step 1). So basically, a year after the date they receive a...

Yeah, they're probably happy the waiting time went from 5 to 16 months, they can torture us more!

Yes, they are Canadians.

I was wondering the same, but thought it's better not tho send them anything unless required. If I'm not mistaken, they don't have doubts about your relationship, but wonder if you truly fit in the conjugal partner category. More evidence of your relationship will not change anything.
