Hi nanakap30,

Welcome to the forum. I am not sure why you read anything about Islamabad, Guide 3911 is mean for all mid eastern countries applications. So you just stick to the forms and documents for sponsorship outland:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

As for the wait time, yes 14 months is what is posted online for Ankara embassy, however most of Turkish applicant get their visa within 6 months as they have priority over applicant of other countries submitting to Ankara. Our friend on the forum have a google spread sheet that you can refer to for some statistical data
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0As9AzYZMOIQPdHJqUWRkYUJWaElSalJINUJ1TlBUZkE#gid=2
you will see the breakdown of stages once you submit the application package and the timeline for each case.

Let us know if you have any more question.

All the best

Ninakap30, is this the link to the form you are filling out? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3911e.pdf

If so, you should look at pages A1-A5 as well as Appendix B. These are the most important.

The next declaration pages you do not need to fill out. Any page that has Islamabad, Beirut, Russia, Afghanistan, Jordan, Iran, etc. or any other foreign writing you did not understand (and is not in Turkish) you do not need to fill out.

You can have the documents translated by a sworn translator (yeminli tercuman). Just google it you'll find plenty.

To those asking about Military Service.

My husband did not do military service because he was a student and then moved to Canada (i.e. had it postponed) and this did not affect our PR application or the decision from the embassy!

Thank you so much Mrs.Asag this was exactly what I needed to know. Thank you a lot.

What kind of questions will they ask her coming into canada.

Thanx

Hi The Blue Guy,

According to Canada Border Services Agency web site (http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5114-eng.html#s4) ,

if you are:

* entering Canada with the intention of establishing, for the first time, a residence for a period of not less than 12 months; or
* coming to Canada for temporary employment for a period of more than 36 months.
In either case, you can import your personal and household effects free of duty and taxes if you owned, possessed and used them before you arrived in Canada.

Your wife should declare what she brings with her.

However, my wife is binging household effects such as dishes, pots, Persian rugs, etc. I was wondering if anyone's wife has brought these type of household effects (unused) with her? If so, did she have to pay tax and duty because they were not used?

I'd appreciate any information regarding bringing unused household effects to Canada.

I received an email from Ankara today requiring me to come to interview in May.

I am guessing they have several questions for me. Considering I am not residing in Turkey and they mentioned to bring my passport with me the positive outcome of my case is depended on that interview and they are likely to stamp a visa in if I do well, do I understand it right?

Now I have to book a ticket :/

 

[negmeg]

WOW...I think this is a great news...probably they just need to ensure your marriage is genuine.
I hope for the best and I am pretty sure once you go there, you will get your Visa stamped right away...

Whatever the interview is about, I am sure you will do fine.
