Finally it's my turn to change the row to green. My wife got her visa today. What a nightmare that is gone now. A funny thing happened to her at the VO. The agent wanted to give her back the originals of the wedding photos and a DVD that was in our file but neither the photos nor the DVD were...

Hi, Hope you’re all doing great and congratulations to all who got their visas. May year 2013 bring soon PPRs to all! Sorry for being away all this time. I wasn’t in a mood to write and wasn’t checking regularly the new posts. I’m still struggling with the visa office. We keep sending them...

Congratulations htraboul and yara!!! Happy to hear good news and see that the VO is active ;)

Hi kellysou, Actually the e-case status is still "Application Received".

Hi friends, I've emailed the embassy last week to enquire about my application and I mentioned that the normal processing time has been exceeded. This is what they replied today: Dear Mr ... Please note that your application is being processed, you will receive a letter soon. thank you...

Hi, According to this page on CIC, It seems there is a quota for every country regarding the permanent residence applications. I'm surprised to know that a quota can be imposed on the family reunification category. Here is the link where Beirut visa office has 300 application for 2012. Really...

Hi friends, Today I went to the VO in Beirut in the objective of having a feedback about our file. It was really funny. I told them that I need to get some papers so they let me in. Then went to the Visa section and the security lady there refused to give me a number, so I went upstairs to the...

Hi Libanais, No you can't pay the RPRF at the embassy. You have to send your proof of payment to Mississauga Processing Center (where you first applied for sponsorship) and they will inform the embassy. Yass, my wife submitted the requested documents on Sep 13. You almost guessed the date :)...

A link on CIC regarding Marriage Fraud http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/protection/fraud/marriage.asp

Hi All, Yass, I’m sorry to hear about your accident; Thanks God you’re fine. From our side, we are still waiting the call from the embassy. It has been 6 weeks since my wife did the medical exam and provided the documents. The e-case is still “Application Received”. I’m in Lebanon, so I might...

Congrats to all who got their Visas. I have been away for a while and now I see that there is many good posts. Lele, you have been waiting for a long time indeed. I suggest that your husband requests the CAIPS/GCMS files (Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System / Global Case Management...

Hi Yass, My wife received an email on Sep 7 requesting the following: - New medical exam - Residency Questionnaire - Supplementary Information - New Police Certificate - 490$ permanent residence fees Her application is for Quebec.

The number of all permanent residents applications including family class applications processed in Beirut Office during the last 12 months is only 127 cases (122 passed and 5 refused). Add they say they are overloaded ::) Here is the link...

Should not get worried. Your case looks very solid and genuine.

Hi Jammin, What I understand is that they are asking you to get back your passport. They want to assess further your case, this might take some time and they don't want to keep it with them. It is not an interview.

Yes the same.

Should use the applicant's name and date of birth and not the sponsor's one. It should work.

Hi LELLO, It is true that waiting for too long cools down a relationship but should not break it. For our cases (waiting over 16 months) it is a bit of bad timing I think, given that the embassy in Damascus got closed. Yes, I read many articles regarding fraudulent immigrants. That's really bad...

Hi lele, Our medical exam validity expired on January 2012, so the new medical exam procedure doesn't apply to my wife and she must redo it (it is not within the 15 months time frame since the new procedure is effective June 1st, 2012). If your medical exam was done after March 1st, 2011, there...

It seems the VO in Beirut is working harder in Sep :) Yesterday my wife got an email from them requesting the following: - Renewing the medical exam - Residence Questionnaire - Supplementary Information - New criminal record - Pay the 490$ permanent residence fees Hope it is getting closer to...
