It stands for Family. This forum is talking about the family class visa.

They contacted our lawyer and then our lawyer e-mailed us and let us know.

We were told when it was ready to be picked up, and we arranged for DHL to pick it up and delivery it to us. The embassy had my husband's passport for about a week. Hope that helps!

It wasn't anything that taxing. They asked my husband how much money he was bringing into the country, does he have a twin brother, his address in Canada, just general things. Remember, at that point you have already been awarded the visa, so it's not a stressful time, at least in my husband's...

S.I.N is your social insurance number and without it you cannot legally work in Canada. Below is a link with more information. It's really easy to get, and there is no charge for it (but if you lose it you have to pay). Just go to the closest federal government office to you and you will get the...

Yes, when he got his passport back, with the visa in it, he was given his file and included in this was the landing papers.

Oh, and as a side note, also bring the landing paper when you go get the S.I.N card, you'll need it.

Hi there, my husband landed in Toronto on Oct 31st on his way to Victoria, BC. He landed, and was taken aside and asked to show his passport with the visa in it, as well as the landing paper - you have to have that! The process took about an hour. He was told that his PR card would be sent to...

The end of this month! Great, let's hope it goes down from 18, and let's also hope you are with you family for Thanksgiving next year (but of course sooner) to see the wonderful fall colours. :)

No, there won't be an election soon. It just means that the current Prime Minister is abusing his power and that one or both chambers of the legislature have ended all legislative business until the governor general or lieutenant governor issues a proclamation calling for a new session of...

Parliament is prorogued right now, so that might be why people aren't hearing back from their MPs at the moment. Just a thought. http://www.cbc.ca/newsblogs/politics/inside-politics-blog/2013/09/attention-parliament-youre-officially-prorogued.html

Oh, I see. It's a different case from mine, as I am a Canadian citizen bored and raised, and my husband is Egyptian. So, from what I understand they should contact you to say whether or not you are accepted under her application? Maybe you will both find out at the same time? To be honest, I...

Hi there, as far as I know the embassy doesn't contact you asking you to submit your application. You have to fill out all the forms, send it all in, and then they will contact your wife (at least in my case) to tell her she has been approved to sponsor you or not. All the forms, the...

Thank you! I'll try to be of any help that I can. I wish you both good luck, and I hope you can be together soon! :)

The visa has to be used by Sept 7, 2014, but he is flying to BC in four weeks! Thank you!

That seems like a really good sign. So they didn't tell her, yes you will get the visa? But I think if they kept the passport, that means they have the intention of giving her the visa.

Well, I think you can only really ask your MP, since other ones do not represent you in Parliament. Like you, I also had the secretary respond to me. She contacted the embassy for me, but she didn't ask about my specific file, she just asked what was going on in terms of processing, given the...

My husband got his passport back, with the visa inside after the embassy only having it for three days. My husband has booked his flight, so he will be in Canada on October 31st. Continued good luck to all, and I hope it's a speedy process.

I think you need to send updated information through a different way, not as a direct e-mail to the CIC. If you look back in the threads you'll see postings on how to do it. I didn't do it personally (our lawyer sent it all in), so I can't advise on that.

Thank you! Yes, we hired a lawyer here in Canada. As for as visiting goes, it is a good idea. It shows that you want to see your spouse and makes your case stronger. All you have to do is keep documentation of your visit and then add it to your file. I was living with my husband in Cairo for the...
