GCMS notes take about a month to be sent to you. By the time you get them, you would have missed your interview. Call CIC office and ask them. Although I think it is legit. You may also call the office that scheduled the interview for you and try to re-schedule. In worst cases, you may have to...

That's terrible. Did you try ordering GCMS notes to see where your file is at?

Strange enough, the processing time for Beirut changed to 13 months instead of 14 and you guys are still waiting. At least for me it has been only 13 months (saying it with tears in my eyes because it is still too long and a torture for us). God be with you.

I think the main reason for the delay is the Syrian refugee applications. They have them as priority and all units responsible for doing the Background Checks are busy doing it for the refugees and the visa office in Beirut is cluttered with their applications. They misplaced many applications...

Nothing yet for me. What about the others?

For some people they send a request to re-do the medical exams and for others they automatically extend it. You know when you first submitted your medicals and count one year after. If they don't send you an email requesting you to redo them, then it means they probably extended them and you...

I know, same here. It's a torture especially after he lost his job and he can't sign any new contracts because the visa may come any time and he won't be able to travel if he has a contract.

You can send an inquiry to BERUTIM-PermRes@international.gc.ca but it is not a good idea. The more inquiries you send the longer your application will be delayed. They don't like it when we ask them about the status of our applications and most often then will ignore us. They even have that said...

Nothing yet. On December 7, the Canadian government changed the sponsorship wait times to 12 months for all contries around the world so anyone who applies after December 7, their wait time will be 12 months. However, that doesn't apply to us. We still have to expect a wait time of 14 months...

Any December 2015 applicants still waiting from Lebanon? I know most sponsored females already got their visas but any males waiting?

Thank you!

Thanks for the replies. I hope we all hear good news soon.

ahma, when did you file your application? Also, I read earlier that your medical report expired in September. Did they ask you to re-do it? I am asking because my husband's medical expires on the 6th of December.

We are still waiting too. It has been 5 months and a half since they started the Security and Criminality check. My husband never traveled anywhere outside Lebanon and he never served military service. I contacted my Member of Parliament 3 weeks ago and she contacted CIC on our behalf. They told...

Thanks for your replies sweetstrawberry. I am sorry about your case. I hope they give your husband his visa soon. Have you tried contacting your MP (Member of Parliament)? I tried to post the link for you but this forum doesn't allow me to post links. Just Google "Find your Member of Parliament"...

Congratulations!! I hope my husband's doesn't take much longer

I am in Ottawa too and I am originally from al jnoub. My husband is from Mount Lebanon

Hi sweetstrawberry, I see that you had your interview in February. Are you still waiting for the passport request? I applied for my husband last year on December 21, 2015. They visa office in Lebanon contacted us on the 20th of May saying they lost my husband's application and they requested an...

I sent the sponsorship application for my husband on December 2015. They received my application on December 21st, started processing it on December 23rd and sent me an email on January 5th, 2016 telling me that I qualify as a sponsor and my application was forwarded to Beirut. My application...
