Hi Goli, I completely agree with you. I originally created my own estimate and realized no data is reliable because everybody on that sheet are "outliars". This is because everyone's circumstances are different so the timelines doesn't follow a unified path. Some people have travelled more and...

This was also asked from the minister about CIC Ankara: @kenneyjason with closures in Damascus and Tehran why hasn't more staff been hired in Ankara to support? @seanpolden We have. The number of officials at CIC's Ankara office has expanded enormously w/ closure of our Damascus & Tehran...

Dear Cyrus, I've done the analysis for new applicants too. But I think the 1 year you calculated was due to the huge backlog for the sponsor aproval last year. It took some people 3 months to get approved. There was also a huge backlog in Ankara due to embassy closures Damascus and Tehran. So I...

Hey guys, Since so many airlines are stopping flights to Iran, what we do mostly is to fly Emirates from Seattle and those in Toronto can use JFK. Prices are under 1000. The only thing is to get is a US transit visa which costs about $160. Without Emirates we're stuck to use Lufthansa in BC...

Thank you for the info. Yes I've also noticed some people never have their status changed to in progress and receive their ppr. The only reason I can theorize of the huge delay some non-Iranians are experiencing in getting their pprs is that Iranian expert VOs are probably having more free time...

I've seen anything between 1 week to 3 months for some people to have their status changed to in-progress. BCGirl, do you know the reason why your application may have taken so long to be looked at? Was it a complicated file if you don't mind me asking? I don't understand why so many people...

From what I've heard, it usually takes 1 week for the application to arrive in Ankara. But this office does not give out AORs. So you probably won't hear from them until your status changes to in progress. For most people it takes about 45 days for their status to change to in progress, for...

Parents sponsorship in Ankara takes about 4 years from your aproval date. So about 46 months. I would imagine they would ask for medicals about 3 years from the date of your aproval. So probably around August of 2015. My father also applied in the parents category for his mom and he applied in...

What I did was to take one conversation from each day. Doesn't matter where in the conversation. Our conversation wasn't in English so I doubt they would bother reading it. But I included maybe 5 months and around 20 to 30 pages of emails. We don't want to give them a headache. For Skype you can...

It's interesting Sweden, My father also received his AOR and UCID as well on Saturday Jan12. His application date was sometime in 2009 or 2008 in the parents caregory.

Thank you :) Don't worry about not having a job. I'm also a student right now (almost finished) and not working but they still aproved me. As long as you don't receive income assistance, and you did not commit any crimes or defaulted on your previous undertakings, you will be approved.

Thank you! I will add my info to it. I think I have th eold timeline in my signature. Congradulations again and welcome to Canada whenever you do!

Thank you for your reply! I just did a short analysis and it seems like simple applications received after summer of 2012 are being processed fairly quickly. My average is between 3-5.5 months after receiving the application in Ankara. But a lot of iranians from 2010 or 2011 Damascus are just...

Dear Sweden, I also got my aproval today January 11, 2013 :D:D Thank you and good luck to everyone on this thread who are still waiting. It's such a good feeling when you get this email. It's like they're giving you a gift out of the blue :D

Hi everyone, Just a note that I received my sponsorship aproval today!! and my file will be transfered to Ankara soon. I'm so happy :) It's such a great feeling! I feel like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders :D Does anyone know how long it will take until they forward the application...

That's amazing, congradulations! It seems like considering your timeline, @Nelly, and @slm.tbt most people here are getting aproved within 6-12 months rather than the 16 months mentioned in the CICIC website. This is very encouraging and heart warming for us at the beginning of the road :)...

Dear Nazafarin, Welcome and I'm in the same place as you. December applicant and through Ankara. I received my AOR yesterday so hopefully you will receive yours in the coming week. :) I'm sponsoring my wife and the 16 months is so crazy. It used to be 6 months right before we thought about...

Dear Sweden, I got my AOR yesterday. So January 9th. Now waiting for the aproval hopefully :)

Hi all, For those of us who will probably hear from cic in January, the processing time is inreased to 43 days now. I guess it's because of the holidays and it may take longer now. So some of us may actually hear from them in Feb.

You use her landing papers (COPR) to enter Canada. Then the officer will get your address and they will mail the PR cards later on in the mail. Not sure how long it will take but at least one or more months. You can just use the conformation of landing papers to apply for SIN card, health cards...
