Hello everyone,
I need your help.. I have bin married to my husband for 5 years now..we have 2 children together.I am a Canadian citizen and our children are naturalised citizens through me.. I moved back to Canada 2months qgo with my 2 kids who r 2&3 years old,planning on bringing my husband here by visa..because I was informed that there would be no prob doing that... His visa was denied.. The children have started to suffer from separation anxiety because this is the first time we have separated from my husband-their father.. My question is from experience how long did it take you guys to receive or PR through Wienna.. I know it says 13 months, but that would be to long to Waite... So I'm wondering can anyone give me some good news?,please and thank u!

Dear DankaRad,
According to your question you belong to FAM stream.
You will find more useful information on Vienna FAM thread:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/vienna-office-t74361.0.html;new#new

But as far as I saw on FAM stream, you should prepare on waiting. Unfortunately there is no shortcuts.
However there is cases which process faster than the other without any reasonable explanation, we guess it is only luck.

I wish you good luck!

Did they send you a paper with instructions ? In that paper should say how can you pick up your visa.
 
Dear Movado:
The courier has to be only DHL and Fedex or can be any other company such as TNT??
Movado said:
There is an option to use DHL or other courier on the way back too. Here's what I got from Vienna on my request:

Greetings,



If you do not wish to send it by registered mail, you may organize a courier delivery and pick-up by DHL or Fedex.

Once we have affixed the visa in your passport, we will send you an e-mail so that you can notify the courier company that the package is ready for pick up at our reception.

The commercial courier company may contact us by e-mail at: vienn-visa @ international.gc.ca in order to organize the pick-up.



Sincerely,



Visa Office (KA)


In my case I decided to go to Vienna in person. The same cost vs DHL.
 
I plan to visit friend in Vienna, Is it possible to physically visit the office in Vienna and ask about immigration application? has anyone tried that?

Courier has to be only one they wrote in their letter. DHL, FEDEX and 3rd one can't remember name. On your profile says they requested your passport February 26th. I hope you sent it by now
 
In this post I will add letter I received form VO office. Now it maybe different for other countries but this is for Bosnia:

"This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order to complete the processing of your

application you must:

- provide this office with an original passport for you in order that an immigrant visa be affixed in the passport.

There must be a blank page in the passport. The passport must be valid beyond your planned date of arrival

in Canada.

We recommend that you use the following options to send your passport:

- Use the passport transmission services of the Visa Application Centre in Sarajevo which will forward it

to Vienna for a fee:

International Organization for Migration (IOM) – Bosnia and Herzegovina

Zmaja od Bosne bb

UN Common House

71000 Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

http://www.vfsglobal.ca/Canada/BosniaHerzegovina/english/index.html

OR

- Private courier service (e.g. DHL, FedEx, UPS, etc.). If you choose this option, you must supply a pre-paid

commercial courier coupon. Ensure that all the required information is completed on the pre-paid commercial

courier coupon, including:

your full mailing address in the "Deliver To" field

the address of the Canadian Embassy in Vienna in the “Return Address” field (see address below)

your account details



Once you have arranged the pre-paid pick-up with the commercial courier service, the commercial courier company

must contact our section by e-mail (see e-mail address below) in order to organize the pick-up of your envelope.

We request that you comply with these instructions within two months of the date of this letter. Failure to do so may

result in the refusal of your application and the closure of your file."

That was in my letter

Any. VO will send you an e-mail, stating you can arrange a pick up of your passport. You call your express mail carrier to pickup your documents.
There is no preference on what courier that should be.
 
Congratulations

Wowwww

You must be so happy

Hope we get that email soon

Congrats once again
:o
