Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

nothing nothing nothing
i am so nervous
my file transfer was October 2end
why it doesn't go to the process?

Though Ankara has accelerated for processing, but you'd better be patient man. It took me about 8 months from file transfer to go in process. I really hope that yours would be much more faster. Check out the holy spreadsheet and don't forget to enter your own timelines.

I think that I am the only one left here on this thread who has not received PPR and has waited more than 8 months. I do not know if there is something wrong with my case, whether the officer has lost my application, or they have lost my wife's email address, or I am not eligible to enter Canada, or they are suspicious about the genuineness of my marriage. They do not even answer our emails. I feel so sad. I do not know what to do. I really wish that never ever someone get stuck in such a terrible situation.

Did you order your GCMS notes yet?
Do they reflect any issue? keep in mind turkish citizen files are prior to us, Iranian...

Thank you everyone!! I wasnt sure how to add myself thats why i wasnt on the spread sheet!
Did anyone on here go in person to pick up their visa? If so how long did it take for them to give it to you?

Also my wifes passport has her maiden name still in it, does she have to make a new passport with her current last name and go with the new one?

Here is the link for adding your information as for timeline:

As for maiden name, I did get a USA visa on my passport, even though my pass didn't have the revised name which is shown on the visa, but better to ask the embassy, you can do live chat with them.

I'm so happy to see so much good news being posted here. I would like to congratulate those whose applications have gone to in process and those who have received PPR.

I know that those who have received PPR may think whether they should go to Ankara to get their visa or use those travel agencies which take passports to Ankara and get the visa on their customers behalf. We had a discussing a while ago on this forum on this subject. So, I thought I share my experience with you and I hope you find it helpful.

After a lot of thinking and asking our friends inside and outside of this forum, we decided to use one of those agencies. My wife received her passport and documents after 10 days and her application status changed to decision made. Having said that, I'd like to urge you to do your own research and make your decision.

I also have a question. In our e-case it is mentioned that "A decision has been made on my wife's application. The office will contact her concerning this decision". Have you're spouses been contacted after their visa was issued? How do they contact (by email, mail, phone call)?

Thanks and hope to here more good news for everyone.

Thank you negmeg!
I have just filled out the spread sheet with the info!
Where can I do the live chat? I called the immigration canada but was unable to speak to anyone since they have "a high call volume at this time"
So ill try again later

Has anyone went in person if so how long did you have to wait for them to give you the visa?
Thanx

 

[negmeg]

The link is on the Ankara Embassy
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Turkey/contactus.html
you see under email it says "To chat with our representatives, please click here."

they are answering during their business hours. Also, you may wanna try it on Mozilla, as I couldn't do it on chrome.

Thank you negmeg!

No I did not order because I do not have a Visa account. NO issues have been reflected either negmeg. Maybe Turkish citizens are in priority, which I think is quite natural due to their successful diplomacy and friendly relations with other countries. But considering Mrs. Asag and Turkey2013, they were Turkish citizens but have waited more than Iranians, so the nationality is probably not an issue.
Thank you negmeg.

You are not the only one here, we have not recieved PPR yet because of further background check.
I work for government and emailed them from my work email and they responded very fast that they are doing this damn checking.
Are you the sponsored person?
Did you do Militaly Service and which countried did you travel?
