Hi guys,
I've got my sponsorship approval for my hubby on July08,2013.
Do u have any idea how long it might take till to the end?
Is anybody in the same situation?
???
Hi farnaz,
Of course every situation is different but here is our timeline:
Application received Dec 20
Sponsorship approved Jan 17
In process Feb 15
Landing fee request June 7
PPR request July 10
If you look at the spreadsheet it seems like things are moving VERY quickly in the last 12 months at the Ankara office. Our whole took 7 months and my wife was in Ankara on Monday/ Tuesday and received her visa. She will come to Vancouver soon!!!
We sent CIC aproximately 11.5 kilograms of application papers, phone bills, emails, chats, photographs etc to prove our relationship. I'm a Canadian born citizen of Dutch decent and my family has been in North America for many many generations. My wife is Iranian and we were introduced by Internet through her sister who is my landlord here. We communicated mostly via phone and Internet but I travelled to Turkey last year to meet her and we were married there. I then travelled to Iran to meet her awesome family for a week. We met again in Istanbul this spring for 3 weeks and fell in love all over again. I'm telling you our story so that you understand.... ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE, TRUST AND RESPECT ... Oh .... And you need some patience too ... Hehehe.
Good luck to all of you and I hope some one continues to maintain the spreadsheet for future couples!!!! It has been a tremendous source of hope for my wife and I and we want to thank whoever is responsible!!!
