One of our problems is making up stories about things we dont really know. In any embassy immigration department is different than visa department with different visa officers. Their training is also different. You need to remember every year around Nov & Dec the processing of application may...

Kazhal, Few days ago I found out that CIC has an email address for questions which is: question@cic.gc.ca Once I sent them an email the auto reply was following. But they actually replied to me question the next day. You may want to try this too even though this seems to be for within Canada...

Just few comments: - I dont see having a petition would help too much here unless you take the matter to the court. - whatever you do, you need to express your concerns based on true and provable facts. Few examples: Visa & Immigration departments are separate and the workload of one does not...

Dear friends, My intention of joining this forum was to share the things I know about the immigration process specially spousal sponsorship with others. As I feel I have nothing more to add here, I have decided to leave the forum. Plus most people already got their visas and there are enough...

To be honest you dont need all these. As long as your party matches the Iranian culture and things like that then you are ok. But if you have time and not worried with extra work then you may want to put them there.

Do not go to the agencies, some of them are taking advantage of this situation. go to the airline itself. Usually the exchange rate that they have on the system is the official rate (or very close to that) so the price is not very affected by the dollar fluctuations. Some agencies tell you the...

We did not go to Ankara (sent the passport in) but as per PPR email you give the passport Monday or Wednesday morning and pick it up with visa next day at 2 pm. When you are submitting the passport it should take more time than when you pick it up.

Your wife is the sponsored spouse, right? Is the passport in Iran or out if Iran? If out of Iran, then let me know and I will tell you the cheapest and fastest way of sending it to the embassy. If in Iran then I suggest just to go there and pick the visa up instead of giving it to a company. I...

No I am not. I'm an engineer working not even in Canada at the moment. My wife is a sponsored applicant like many of you here, but I always like to get to the root of issues so know a little bit about immigration, visa, tax and other things that I had to get involved with in my life. My wife's...

Kazhal, Not sure if you still checking this or not, but if you like I would be glad to help you out. What I can do, if you send me some background on your file, what you have done so far, your email requests to the embassy and things like that i will look into it and see where you can push for...

Re: I Got It!!!! Congrats Raha. I told you better to wait. Now everything is kosher. Good luck with life wherever you end up. Ya Ali

As long as you are paying enough tax to CRA they are happy. But you can do something to pay less tax now that you are married: - Give new and updated TD forms with claim for spouse credit to your employer so they will deduct less tax starting the next payroll cycle. - If you wife does not move...

Thanks Niloo. I'm just glad I can help. That's why I joined this forum after all anyway.

This is not a new thing. They have always been checking relations with the government and things like that. The only difference now is that they announced it. The reason is more related to justification of embassy closure. Good or bad, this is part of our life that we can not do anything about...

Just a suggestion to those with long processing times: If you are sure there is no issue with your background/security check, you may wanna try to find a phone number or some kind of contact with the agency and try to see if you can talk to the person who works on your file. If you were...

I think you wont get anything from the second set too. 2 cases: - They are still doing your security check, so you will get same result. - They have finished the check then you will get PPR. Remember they have to finish the files as soon as they can. They have a KPI to meet. The performance...

If war starts, then we have way more issues than visa. everything you said is very extreme, and if it gets to that point then politicians do not think about files in Ankara. As sponsor, with out of country experience, we need to comfort our wives so by thinking that far you only torture...

It has zero effect on any application, as files already being processed by Ankara anyway. Do not stress yourself out for something non related. Even for consular services for Iranians in Canada, perhaps Iranian government will open an office in one of embassy (like Pakistan) or ask to send it...

The first step includes: - Check all the docs to make sure everything is included before sending to embassy - If sponsor is eligible based on the criteria They do not look into the sponsored person details. That's something that must be done by overseas offices. In spousal sponsorship...

So to give some info and answer few questions: - As I mentioned before the emailed me & CCed my wife for PPR. It might be different for us as our case was exceptional and they were contacting me all the time to sort things out. - Criminality check is what you sent for them. For Iranians is...
