It might be because it's still too soon and they haven't added your information to the website yet. Give them a couple of months.

Hi hyh,

If your wife has strong ties to come back such as a job or university etc... then why not? The last two times i applied i was married and my husband is the one who sent the invitation and although many would say that it is hard and i can see their point but i got it. I have a job and i am finishing my masters... you have to show that yes my wife is visiting but she will be back for such and such...give it a try why not...also having a travel history would help i guess...mind you, one thing i was asked about it and which is not in the application checklist is A PROOF OF SPONSORSHIP which i guess they ask to make sue you applied for PR , so we sent them the receipt that we payed and the sponsor approval..include it if you want as well..GOOD LUCK..keep us updated :))

Hi there,

Check page# 2 Assessments: elgibility, criminality and medical. Also Application assignment due dates- any additional notes the VO wrote on your application. My notes are only 41 pages - things you might want to check are names, birth dates, phone numbers email addresses to make sure all the information they have about you and your sponsor are correct. Check the Eligibilty Assesment section on page 7, Security page 8, Criminality page 9 and Medical page 10 - Usually you should look for due dates and statuses of these assesments - are they passed? not started? etc... on the last pages they should have all the notes they sent and some notes that VO officer has on your application.

I hope this helps and let us know if you have further questions.

Good luck

Due dates are usually bring forward dates, they are like reminders so your application do not get forgotten, usually things get moving before the due date except for things that are related to other agencies than the Canadian embassy, for example security and criminality. Example, if they did not receive criminality and security before the due date they will ask for them again ( not from you, but from the agency that is supposed to look at).
They should take a look at your app and updated before the due date on the eligibility.

About the employment, YES!!! you should definitely tell them about that, especially if you are in Canada. Either by e-mail, mail or fax.

but how come the due date for security and criminality is back in Sept 2013 and the status is not started ?? So - if i understand you correctly - the Canadian embassy initiated the process back in Sept 2013 and still waiting for results to come in ??

Should I call CIC to update my employment status or I should email beirut embassy directly ? i'm planing to call CIC Monday and get their recommendations on how to update my employment status..
thank you guys for a the great info and support

Hi everyone,

I have an update. I got my notes today. They are extracted from the system on March 17th, 2014.

The major update on them is eligibility: passed with some notes - lots of notes mainly:
"File referred to KZ"
"No adverse information. Docs and notes reviewed. Marriage appears genuine. I am satisfied with bonafides and relationship. ... Passed Eligibility"

Due Date on the application was 2014/03/23

I might need to order new notes!!!!
