Hi-after getting visa approval it says we can sign up for pre-arrival services so the govt can help us with questions and preparing before we leave. Planning for Canada is one of them. Has anyone done it? How was it? This one- www.planningforcanada.ca

Let me know if you have any questions. We dealt with Ankara recently and overall they are great but the female interviewer is SUPER rude. I have now had contact with 5 people who have said this!!

@ BDH YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! What a jerk thing for that person to say!! I was shocked when I read it and happy that you replied when I kept reading. Some people are such jerks.

AT LAST... the PPR. Finally, I can start making concrete plans.

Does anyone know how long medicals sent to London take to be reviewed and sent back to the Visa Offices????

Hello everyone, I am back. It has been a CRAZY week in other areas of my life so I have not had time to get online. I read some people were wondering where I have disappeared to and how the interview went for my husband. At first we thought it went very bad... the woman who did the interview in...

OMG I think I am going to have a panic attack!!! I am in Vancouver and it is 1 15am... my husband is currently having his interview and it has been 2 hours and 15 minutes!!!!!!!!!!! He has his own interpreter. I cannot sleep until I hear from him. I am terrified they will reject us even though...

Hello anyone working with the Ankara office, Just so you know... they are AWESOME to deal with so far! My husband has his interview next week which they informed me by email a few weeks ago and then they called to follow up and confirm that he was attending. At this time I spoke to the...

Hello there, My husband has his interview in Ankara next week as well and he is not from Turkey and does not speak English or Turkish. I spoke to one of the immigration officers on the phone yesterday. An interpreter is NOT provided by the embassy UNLESS your husband needs someone to translate...

Thank you. There was no reason given for the interview. We will review our application closely. Do they just ask questions based on your application. We do have a religious difference but neither of us are very religious (and we have a small age difference of 5 years).

Hello everyone, Just a quick question. The husband has been called in for an interview in January and was told to 'bring in anything you want the visa officer to consider'. Is this a good sign or bad? If they are hoping to issue the visa do they not always ask for more passport photos and an...

Thank you for the well wishes. I will let you all know how it goes. Of course, it is him doing the interview and not me. No, there was no PPR but an interview request. In Ankara they sometimes stamp your passport later that day. He has to go in at 9am. I know in India they ask for the passport...

I still have not received a sponsor approval letter. And nothing received by my husband. Only updates I have ever gotten were through direct contacting made by me. Hmmm... I hear interviews are pretty standard in Ankara and hope all will be well.

Mrs Turan, That is a great Christmas gift!!!! Congrats to you! They have set an interview date for my husband in early January!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell me how it was for your husband? How long was it? Did he bring any additional documents? What kind of questions did they ask? He has to...

INTERVIEW DATE SET!!!!!!!!

Hello Mrs. Turan, Has your husband made it to Canada yet? Was everything smooth? I hope all is well with you. Am going to Turkey in 7 days and I can hardly wait to see my husband again. The phone calls just do not cut it! This last week has been a bad one.

Hello., Thank you for the supportive comments. I had a really bad and down day. I know this is hard for everyone.

No. No short cuts but try calling from a different phone number. That worked for me.

Hello Everyone, Am feeling so down today... My application is at my VO and has been there since November 10th but no updates or contact. I do not really expect any news yet since it takes 5 months for 80% of the applications but something sure would be nice to keep hope up especiallysince it is...

Am so happy! In 2 weeks I head over to Turkey to see my spouse again. It will be 4.5 months since we have seen each other and we will only have 3 weeks together but we are going to make the most of it. While there, we are going to mail more evidence to the embassy including proof of my visit...
