Sure, I understand. That's why I thought I'd ask around here to get a sense of how long they're actually taking. That would go a long way towards helping us plan ahead.

I see. Can anyone give me an idea of what the actual processing times are like? How do I find that out?

Hi all, I remember from a few years back that the processing times for visitor visas and super visas for Pakistani applicants used to be a month or two, but now according to this page, the processing time is roughly 16 months for both types of visas! Can anyone shed some light on how accurate...

nice! vfs is so fast. good time to come to canada with the amazing weather we've been having recently. ;)

VFS was a piece of cake compared to dealing with the CIC. yes, we can track on the VFS site i think. they also send text messages to the applicant with the visa/passport status.

i'm doing well alhmdulilah. i've been lurking here for a while checking in on your status from time to time. twas a pleasant surprise to see you had finally gotten ppr. now for the best part: fly over to pakistan, and this time come back with your husband. :)

alhamdulilah. so happy to hear you and your husband have finally made it through!

My wife landed in November 2016. She is a Pakistani national and a permanent resident of Canada. Is it possible for her to visit the US or would she need to apply for a US visa beforehand? If she needs a visa, then would she need to apply for one every time she wants to enter the US or can she...

kinda off topic here, but my wife is coming back from lahore to toronto. when she left from pearson, she used etihad's online check-in thing. does anyone know if lahore airport also allows online check-in?

good for you. have a cookie. now let's get back on track and talk about pakistani spousal sponsorship.

sorry to hear this. did you order your gcms notes? i'm wondering whether the PA has passed eligibility and what stage they're hung up on at the moment.

any updates on the remaining december 2015 applicants?

yeah, might be a slight delay. my wife's passport was in islamabad when imran khan was threatening to lock the city down back in october 2016. i thought that'd also delay the whole process but thankfully it didn't. the VFS is usually pretty fast.

my wife got her stamped passport back from lahore within 10 days, though some members have reported wait times of up to 3 weeks (worst case).

congrats and have a safe flight. june is the perfect time to land. :) when you go back to PK to visit, go by etihad, emirates or turkish. pia is convenient but their long haul flight experience is torturous.

check back tomorrow perhaps? i hope it's your PPR.

I get it now. Thanks for clearing that up.

I see. So in order to maintain her PR, she cannot be out of Canada for more than 2 years, correct?

My wife landed in November 2016 and has condition 51 on her COPR. She is from a non-visa exempt country (Pakistan). She is planning to visit her home country in September of this year and will stay there for about two months. Is my wife allowed to stay outside of Canada that long? What is the...

look at the bright side. you're through the lengthiest part of the process, so i'm sure you'll hear something soon insha allah.
