as i remenber when they refuse any application, send a letter and desribe reson.
one of the reason is that officer not satisfied that you leave canada .

But when I talked to my lawyer she told me that the chance of getting a TRV is very high because my wife is a student. She suggested that I apply for GCMS to know the exact reason of the refusal and then after a month that I get the results try to see the exact reason and try to satisfy it, do you think if it is worth doing ? She also said this application (TRV) will not have any effect on the PR application, what do you think? She said that this refusal is not bad because it caused them to take a look at her PR application. Any comment/feedback would be appreciated, I really feel frustration.

I agree with you. Once I wanted to apply for a tourist visa after I had sent my application for PR. In the requirements, one was that you have to convince the officer that you will get back to your home country by the visa being expired. For example you should show that you are a full time student, full time employee, or anything to prove that you definitely will get back. maybe there was a problem with the proof rather than any conflict with the PR application. Anyhow, I did not request for a tourist visa and I am still away from my beloved.

My wife is a full time student; I talked to our lawyer she said that there is no conflict with PR application and she said a few of her clients got the TRV after the sponsorship approval, I would say it is completely officer based. Our lawyer told us that applying for tourist visa may force them to process PR application faster because they have to take a look at it before accept/refuse your TRV visa. I am probably going to apply for GCMS to see the exact reason of the officer's refusal.

Well, if I were in your shoes I would definitely do that. I think that you have the very right to be together, even if she comes to you as a tourist. It is also clear to everyone that she might not get back to her home country, instead, she would stay with her husband and wait for the immigration process to be completed. No laws would be broken...

What a week was last week. Not a single good news from Ankara. Hopefully Canadian embassy at Ankara will be shinny this week.

 

[SubZero_2]

That is really frustrating; July-August people from other Visa offices with processing time of 16-20 months are getting PPR. Why Ankara is so slow? Any updates?

 

[distcom]

This is too weird to me as well. Has anybody heard anything from Ankara in the last few days?

Nope

Nope

I am afraid that for some reason they have slowed down processing the applications. I hope we hear very good news from Ankara soon.

Good News, I received my passport request 2 hours ago,they mentioned that:

Once issued, your permanent resident visa will expire on 2014/10/12, which is the validity date of your medical examination.
(It means that medical results are valid for 2 years)

It could be assumed that they are working on March,April applications (Because they started processing my PR application on march 19).

Wish you luck.
