Progress update from my side.

They sent an email yesterday telling us that they are "ready to issue your application for a Study Permit" for my fiance. We rushed through to Pretoria to collect it but apparently ready to issue does not mean that we can actually collect it yet, so we will have to wait further.

I have been told that I must apply for a visitors visa, they won't give me an open work permit.
However I can't do this yet because I need to know the entry dates for my fiances study permit first before I can apply for the visitors visa(Otherwise the dates might not match up).
As usual they are not replying to my emails asking about this and a few other details, so I guess my only option is to wait again.
 
Thanks god for that i guess i just have to be patient so sorry to hear that its so unfair its your human right to be with someone you love expectially you engaged your common law partner as long as you can prove relationship its sad to hear but these canadian migration process is rigid !! And long their communication channel is inconsistence so what you can just do is to make contigent plans anyway in anycase you have no choice but to apply for visitor visa based on what they issue ya work permit ?
 
Their immigration process is inconstince what i think u must do wait till she get hers !! Then you can proceed with yours anyway malcom the colleage gave me an extension for another month but it was in an email format !! So i email it to them do you think they will accept it ??
 
@Biba i will retain my place they gave me an extension letter
 
@Malcolm Dont pestered them now leave them till they give her do south african need visa to go there ?? Anyway i think there are some people logging on as members but they are immigration officer dont you think so maybe am paranoid there is someone who was asking why i chose canada not sa as you knw with sa crime rate and all what happen regard them hating foreigners and call them names and all that ? please dont take it personal not mean you or stereotype !
 
@Malcom why the quiteness any update ? Please !!!
 
Maybe u are us citizen thats why you dont have to pay !!
 
Come on please dont be like please give me more information please let me know
 
@Malcom and biba pls got email from them pls forward us your passport and we have received your medical result ?? Pls what does it mean no interview am scared guys prayes and finger crosing
 
i believe no interview is a good thing because they do want your passport. It means they are going to stamp in your visa and your application is fine so no need to interview anything that they might suspect in your application. What do others think.
 
@Repeshari will like to think so too !! Will they asked for my passport before interview ?? Will they just asked my passport just to refused me ?? I just dont understand it but in anycase pray for me
 
@Malcom but for you interview then passport but mate am scared am form visa exempt country they are only suposed to send e docet but not request my passport one of my friend told me !! Please fill me in more !!scared dear
 
Hi Sasha i dont know about the proces for visa exempt countries but if they ask for your passport it maybe that they need to check its validity. PLS GUYS FROM VISA EXEMPT COUNTRIES HELP SASHA OUT.
