Hello Everyone!
I applied for the Family Class Immigration sponsored by my Mother in April 2012 at Canadian High Commission Islamabad, Pakistan. Whereas my Mother applied for our PR in February 2011 in Quebec along with her PR which she successfuly received in March 2012. I sent all the required documents to CHC Islamabad and again they asked for further proofs and photos etc after 6months which were sent by me again with complete details to them.
In next letter, They asked for the DNA test for my sister and parents 2 months back which was also undergone by us from the Lab and got the accurate results. The lab also confirmed me that they've sent a copy of the DNA report to the CHC Islamabad as well but there is no activity from the High Commission so far after they received the DNA test result which was done in the start of July.
They even wrote in their recent letter that they will ask us for the Medical examination after they receive the DNA Result but its been 2 months now and we've not received any further letter from them.
I just want to ask from the experts about the remaining processing time after they receive the DNA test result and also about the next step which the Visa officer will take in our case.

regards,
Syed
 
The issue being here is that CHC, is one of the slowing process immigration unit in the world in relation to Canada. Secondly, there is a strike also going on in Islamabad. This hampers and delays results and progression. Usually for parent sponsorship the average time Islamabad takes is around 5 years (+/-). I have seen my family members sponser their families from back home and both times they took around 5 years to complete the process. They keep asking for renew forms and other medical exams to delay process....

5 years? Are you sure? As I've never seen any such case taking the time period of 5 years. Most of the cases I've seen took not more than 2yrs. The processing time mentioned on the CHC website is 26Months for such cases.
 
I also want to ask the experts that can I check the status of my application online from CHC Islamabad ?
 
26 months?? Bro, it takes 31 months to get your wife/husband here. Bringing a family can never be that less.

But our case is quite different from a simple sponsor to family as My Mother applied as a refugee in Quebec for herself and her family as well . She got her PR in almost an year after applying for the refugee . she applied for our PR as well along with her application for PR. she got her PR before us as she was already in Canada but we r still waiting even its more than 22 months since we sent our PIFs to CHC Islamabad and the recent activity from them was the receiving of DNA Test results.
 
Oh ok, in that case it comes under refugee status application....

so do you have any idea about the remaining processing time? some people tells me that our case has almost been entered into final stage where the visa officer asks for the medical examination.
Plus, how can I check the status of my application through client ID and File number that CHC have provided us.
 
I assume the delay in processing is just because of the Strike .
 
go on ecas to check status.
