I am so sad to hear this :( I was hoping you would be getting good news very soon. I think at some VO's if you have red flags they put you in the interview queue regardless of how much proof you provide. I think that's total crap and they need to look at new ways to determine if a relationship...

Hi Canadianinlove! My husband was just approved for his Canadian PR and is currently a green card holder living in the USA. Just curious if it's necessary to give back the green card? If so, how do you go about doing it? I assumed it would just expire and that would be the end of it. I guess if...

I don't understand why yours are taking so long. I ordered ours after you and got them last week. Ours was access to information not privacy act so maybe that makes a difference. I would think they just do them in the order they receive them so unless something is missing or wrong in your...

I got my notes last week and there were a couple of interesting things I wanted to share. First the notes were run the day after my husband's passport was requested. The notes showed at that time that security and criminality had not been started yet. Two weeks after that our application was...

Congratulations Gabba! So happy for you! When will your wife be coming to Canada?

Where can you find the processing times by country? I've had no luck searching for it on the CIC website. I'm worried my husband will be in the same situation after he lands and not sure he'll be away long enough to get the PR travel document issued.

I'm sorry to hear you have been waiting so long but it definitely sounds like you are near the end! May I ask if the reason for the long wait was because you had an interview? I pray the remaining processing will be speedy for you. Good luck and keep us updated!

I sent it voluntarily. It may have helped and definitely didn't hurt. If you have good proof, like of another trip, I would send it.

Lots of info to update you all on today. First they finally sent my husband's passport back according to Fed Ex!!! My husband emailed them today to find out what was happening so not sure if that's what got them to send back or if it's just a fluke. He should have it next Wednesday! The second...

I have no idea what the original 8 are used for but the 2 they request with the passport are used as the photo for your PR card. I believe they get sent back to you with your passport and COPR you need to land with.

Thank you so much Mrs C3! Yes, I remember us both waiting nervously for our sponsor approval back in March :) I hope and pray you hear something soon. Up until a month ago my VO was taking over a year to process so it's just been very recently that they are this fast. The online processing time...

If it's not sent back tomorrow my husband will email them. We haven't had the best luck at them replying to emails though. Your wife should send whichever is easier. If you decide to use a courier go back to posts on here from early May and there are detailed instructions on exactly what you...

Just to update this post, as I expected today (Tuesday) ECAS did update to say decision made. So in summary My CIC emailed to say there was an update, provided the information quicker and told me that it was an approval - all positive changes vs ECAS. So even if it's not helpful during the...

We sent by Fed Ex as my husband is in the USA and this was the only way we could make it work. We included a postage paid return way bill. It still has not been sent back so not sure what's up. Others in East Africa have done this through DHL and had no issues. Skwan used VFS and got the...

Wow kokolibataui less than a month since you went in process, that's the fastest yet!!!! Congratulations!! I am so impressed with Dar. Keep up the great work!!!

She will definitely need a transit visa or they won't even allow her to board a flight to the USA. I have no idea how hard it is to get a transit visa. I just wanted to wish you good luck getting everything sorted with so little time to land in Canada. I know it must be a very stressful time...

Thank you so much Hardcookie! I hope and pray you get your good news soon. Nairobi seems even faster than Dar. Good luck!

We sent ours by Fed Ex but haven't received notice it's been sent back yet. We couldn't use VFS since my husband is in the USA. It will be worth whatever the cost was to get the passport back and be done with this mess that is Canadian immigration :) Keep us posted That is very true, this...

Absolutely, there are lots of cases where the sponsor is very naive. However it's also hard when you are in the middle of a bad relationship (abuse, being used to get into Canada, etc.) to see things for what they really are. It's easy for an outsider to see what's going on because we don't have...

I think the sponsorship process can force people into marrying quicker than they otherwise would because it's often the only way to be together (either because of visa or financial reasons). I think this can lead to doubts as you may not have spent that much time physically with someone before...
