Here is a link to the questions we studied. Most of these questions were asked, however some of the questions are geared to couples who live together and are applying inland but several are for outland applicants as well.

Me TOOOOOOOOOO. October 12th has been a great day!

Now that I've calmed down enough to type coherently I want to hare just how amazing this has been.

I believe three things positively impacted our case.

1) I spent the money to get an immigration lawyer. He processed and packaged our application so completely that when my sponsorship approval letter came, they actually returned 'extra' stuff they didn't need.

I have his name and number if anyone's interested.

2) I wrote one very touching letter to the Minister of Immigration and the Prime Minister of Canada's office every week. I asked for grounds for compassion because I have just lost both of my parents and he lost his remaining parent in May 2011. We were literally alone in two different countries. I never, ever got a response, but I think they may have gotten sick of my emails.....


All told, I can't complain. My package was received May 1, 2011 and my husband got the following letter today (just so you all know what to look for when you get it too);



Dear Sir/Madam,

Congratulation to everyone who finally received news about their immigration application!

On our side... We are trying to stay positive but still no news... We started this process in july 2010... And we are in process since august 15th... Painfully long i must say

I do not know if fox82 still reads this forum but i hope you got additional news on your side!

Wow Mels

You got your approval letter in January 2011 and you haven't heard? I would advise you to go to your local Federal Member of Parliament. I did this as well and was always kept apprised of what and where my file was.

They say they can't and won't answer questions if you are still within nomal processing times, so insha'allah you will hear something very soon. The normal 'maximum' is one year. I only waited five months. I will pray for your file to complete soon. My thoughts are with you. I was falling apart after five months, so I can't imagine how you feel. Well, I can, but am extremely grateful I don't have to.

Keep us posted. Seems like things are moving a little faster now. I may have actually benefitted from the fact that my file never made it to Cairo. It was processed in Ottawa.

Best of luck.

today there was an update in my ecas from " PR application received" to " in process" stating that they received the application on april 2011 , started processing it on 3 october 2011 , medicals are received ..

how much time left ? i started the whole process on march 2011

 

[madamadam]

Lilyy

it shouldn't be much longer for you. Our case says "in process" and we have already received a letter stating the visa is ready for issuance. They have not requested an interview or anything. Make sure when you get the notice to send in his passport that you add in the important things that the letter from the embassy doesn't say. You need to put in a cover letter with the applicant's name, address, phone number and Client numbers. Make sure you do this. The letter just says to send in the passport with two photos and gives specifications of the photo size and background but also doesn't say that the applicant's name and date of birth should be on the back of those photos.

I am so relieved I had an immigration lawyer handle the case. I would have found out the hard way otherwise.

Best of luck to all; it seems like there is some kind of push to meet quota as the year draws to an end. I am quite surprised, but definitely NOT complaining. I didn't think we'd see each other until closer to the one year mark after receiving the sponsorship approval letter. Our file was received in Ottawa May 19th and we already have the visa. Just flight details to work out.

I'm so happy and I wish the same happiness for each of you.

Keep us all posted
