My husband finally got his visa today!! It's been a long tiring journey but we made it. I did a lot during this time to speed up the process but I can't really be sure if they helped or not. I wrote letters to MPs, to the minister of immigration, to the embassy and my MP contacted Ottawa every...

Thanks guys! I am really trying to stay strong and think positively. I really am but it's getting harder. My MP told me today that they are planning to review his file by September 26th!!! His medical expires October 2nd. I don't know what will happen. I am just praying to God that it doesn't...

Congrats to you all! I really hope we hear something soon. Sunny_day, on what date did your husband submit his passport? September 11th or 4th? I am crying on the inside and just trying everything I can think of to help but zilch, nada , nothing, rien.... Who knew it would get to this. I thought...

Thanks ombra for all the advice you've volunteered to give out on this forum. You've helped a lot of people and I know that all your kindness will be returned to you during your life. You and your wife will have a wonderful and joyous life together. Best of luck with everything . I think that...

Nobody insulted anybody! We are just stating facts and helping each other. The truth is the people at VAC really don't know much about why or when. Their job is to send off the passports to the embassy and handed to the applicants. So they can't help us. The system issue is at the embassy. But...

Ombra, how much does it cost to change the flight dates? And what date do we change it to? This is so frustrating. If we don't hear anything by tomorrow, I think a bunch of you who are in this situation should go to the embassy together. Power in numbers! Because the VAC employees can't help.

And you're not gonna like this but this other guy at the Visa office said he submitted his passport on September 2nd and still no visa. He is also coming to Canada and was sponsored by his wife. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( I wish we knew all this before. Now he's stuck in Ankara without a passport...

Ombra, My husband went to the VAC today to ask them what's going on. The visa officer said that she doesn't know anything about why it's taking so long. Then he saw this Iranian guy at the visa office with like 40 passport submission sheets. He said he worked for an agency in Tehran that submit...

OMG, I just called the visa office and they said, it will take longer than 4 business days. They don't know how long it will take. WTF!!!!

My husband too! Maybe you guys saw him in line! He said there weren't that many people for visas and the iranian rep at first said it might take 2 days but then corrected herself and said 4 days. Are you from Toronto too?

Hey ombra, I'm glad you got everything done and over with. How many days did it take for you to get your visa after you submitted at the vac?

Thank you so much soomazi! I'll let him know.

This is a question for those who have received their passport request email. At the section where it says : please provide your current contact details Do you write your Iranian address, your Canadian address, or the address of the hotel you're staying at in Ankara?

I think we have to go to the Visa office, not the embassy!! Office Address: Canada Visa Application Centre for Ankara Kavaklıdere Mahallesi Atatürk Bulvarı no : 154 Çankaya / Ankara, Turkey :o :o

Guys! I need your help! PLEASE!!! Does my husband have to pay a fee when he gets to the embassy? Can he pay in cash? If not, does he have to go to a Turkish bank to get a bank draft? Who does he make it out to? I'm freaking out...

I reserved a hotel for my husband which is a 10 min walk to the embassy and very affordable. : King Hotel Cankaya I paid 320 for 5 nights. I got it from booking.com

You can't send your passports by courier to get a visa. Read the email: Please DO NOT/NOT send your passports to the VAC by mail or courier as they will not/not be able to accept them or to send them back to you.

Ooooooh! Mrs Kor! You're on fire!!! I swear after this is over some of us can become immigration consultants. If he wanted to ask this lawyer, had would've charged him 200 for listening to his question and another 500 for "legal advice". You rock Mrs.Kor. Good for you.

King c, you should contact the police department you got the report from and ask. I'm sure CIC cs will not tell you anything. They either say " we don't know" or they read you off stuff that's already on their website. Hey guys I had a question for Iranians. Can my husband buy his Ankara to...
