    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    I don't think PR card needs to "show exit". His passport will have the exit stamp. They can also apply for a PRTD while in Pakistan which will let them re-enter Canada. Takes about 2 weeks as per the threads below...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Hi, I did the same thing. My lawyer then said that my spouse would have to re-sign with the new validation numbers and send it to me via courier. The whole point of the validation is that nobody is changing the information after it has been signed off on. It's possible the VO never notices and...

    Overstayed in Uk , applying from Pakistan

    If you lie, or try to deceive them in any way, they WILL find out and you will be refused and banned from Canada for 5 years. Always tell them the truth. Also, tell your wife. Don't build a relationship on lies. Plus, if you ever get interviewed and they ask her about your past and she doesn't...

    One question, the visa stamped on the passport doesn't have a pic attached. Even though there seems to be a spot for it. Is this normal? CoPR has a pic.

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    So this is what happened. My wife (the applicant) applied for a visit visa back in 2014 to visit friends here. She was denied because they didn't believe she had strong enough ties to Pakistan. Even though she was enrolled in uni and all her family was in Pakistan. She wasn't interviewed or...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Just wanted to mention that if you apply for visit visa and it gets rejected, it can be a potential red flag. There is a question in one of the forms which asks you if you've ever been denied entry and you'd have to check yes and provide an explanation. We had this issue and we were called for...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    So this is how it worked with us. When we went in, we handed all our documents to the guy at the reception window. They asked my wife (PA) if she wants to do the interview in English or Urdu. She picked English but other people who picked Urdu were provided with an interpreter. Then we waited...

    POST-INTERVIEW UPDATE: Alhamdulillah the interview went very well. The officer said she doesn't have any concerns and we should be getting our PPR in a week or two. As for the interview, the officer was very nice and easy to talk to. A lot of what she asked was information we provided on the...

    Hi, do they really give PPR on the spot to some people? Do they just keep the passport then?

    Hi, If you don't mind can you please share what exactly they asked? I think maybe my wife's visit visa refusal is what triggered our interview. Thanks,
