Have you met him in person?? If not, you will have some difficulty. What country are you from? In India, for example, it's not as big of a problem, but in most countries it is really hard to prove the genuineness of your relationship when you didn't meet before getting married. Meeting online is...

Yes, it takes about a month. Your ecas will change and then you'll get a letter in the mail a week or so later. You still have a couple weeks left to wait out the sponsorship part.

CONGRATULATIONS!! Would you please post your timeline for everyone? When are you planning on landing in Canada?

palomadiego - we are all waiting to hear how it went!

I'm sorry to hear he didn't get his visa, but it sounds like it was a positive interview, and hopefully background checks won't take too much longer. Based on your timeline, I'm not surprised they haven't finished them yet. At least you can stop worrying about the interview now, and I'm sure the...

ify - how did the interview go??

Congratulations! Where will you be settling in Canada?

I was very proud and happy to have our application completed in Accra in 98 days, but am even more happy to see that Accra is now processing even faster than that! Ify - I believe your husband will have his visa on Monday...fastest approval ever, I would think! Lets's hope it's even faster for...

Yes - I live in the M's. Moved here from Calgary 6 years ago and absolutely love it here!

Why do I feel like you are being sarcastic? Any knowledge I have about this process has come from this forum, I take no credit for it.

Hey, good to see you! Glad you got your application in. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to be reunited.

This just doesn't seem right. I think I have replied to you before...have you requested your CAIPS notes? Have you contacted your MPs office?

I'm in St Albert, AB

You have two options: 1) book and pay for a refundable flight. It will be more expensive, but I think it will increase your chances of getting your visa (I assume this is a visitors visa - what country are you coming from?) 2) write a letter explaining the difference in price between a...

I guess there is an election coming! I've had municipal candidates and once I had an MLA come to my door, but never the acting Member of Parliament. I invited him in and we talked about immigration for about 10 minutes. He was really happy to hear that our immigration experience was so good, but...

My husband has :) Seriously though, I just wanted him here really, really badly, and decided not to leave any stone unturned. We had a lot of evidence because of using regular phone, daily emails, daily skype chats, weekly postcards and letters and also a lot of evidence from 8 trips overseas...

My husband arrived in Edmonton in September, coming from Nigeria. We live in St Albert, a beautiful suburb city with 60,000 residents. We love the small city feel, great schools, beautiful neighborhoods, virtually non-existant crime and peacefulness, while having access to everything Edmonton...

Making a copy is a good point. I put the application together here in Canada while my husband was in Africa. I copied the entire application and sent it to him, and he studied every single page of it (640 pages!) in the 7 weeks leading up to his interview. He wanted to make sure he knew every...

Congratulations on the birth of your new baby girl!

I agree that she had to go home but I just feel absolutely terrible for her, as she is now returning to Pakistan as a divorced woman and will face discrimination and likely will have a very difficult time finding a husband. That is the true shame of this story. At least if she stayed in Canada...
