Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

[SMirio]

We will get it guys.. all of our applications must be gone through comprehensive security screening oddly enough. They will check and all will be fine. I just wish they would tell us a timeline.

Since February of this year we haven't heard any good news. Nobody got visa. Very strange

Hi please check the Excel file/ finalized sheet. There were 5 applicants Turkish and Iranians who got it from march 7 th to 21st. March 21st is the last one I remember. But more people got it on Jan-Feb.

It is the last day of May and exactly one year for our application. I just checked ECAS and it still shows in process . I cannot imagine May also passed. Lets see what June will bring.

I noticed there are 6 applicants from 2016 (feb to Dec) still waiting in that google list. Babak is 12 Feb 2016. I am wondering what happened to his application? I will try to follow up.

Probably he has landed but didn't come back to the forum to let us know.

I got this strange message from ATIP after waiting for more than 60 days. This is the first time this happens to me and they were pretty fast generally.

I came to know the Feb guy (babak) has some complications and is still waiting.
Then Naghmeh and Smirio will still stay on top of the list. I hope we hear something soon.

The security Check process is not in Ankara office. The MP told us that it is done by some agencies inside of Canada. So, we should worried about holidays in Canada. The Ankara office is waiting for the results of security check.

I think part of it is done by CSIS in Canada. I sent a request to get a report from CCIS it takes 60 days I hope to get it in mail by June 18th. But there may be other agencies in Ankara involved too and after they get back the report from agencies still the Ankara office has to do the rest of admin stuffs.

Hi Guys,

Do you know where in Vancouver I can go to complain or ask for my husband's status?
Or do you guys know if there is a law/clause that says CIC must give their final decision within the max certain time?

There is no law that obligates the immigration to complete a file. You just have to wait and that's it, if you call immigration they would tell you this because they said it to me when I askedSorry sweetie we are all in this messy situation and it's really frustrating when you don't know what is happening!!!
