Assalam alaikum every1
hope u guys are doing fine .. n i hope everyone gets PRs or stamped visas soon INSHALLAH..
By the grace of ALLAH my hubbyz sponsorship is done... i spent like 18 months in pakistan wid him.. (was there for him throughout the process)... then a week ago we wur able to come here together...after his sponsorship.. MASHALLAH ... it was a long process...
I have a few tips to offer during this process...
-Its better if the sponsor person sends case inquiries instead of the applicant... we would inquire about our case status in short email every month or two after the the initial stage was over(first 12 months).
-to show ur relationship is genuine... please make a trip to pakistan and take photoz with ur spouse and his/her family members on different occasions such as relative weddings or birthday parties. If u wana stay a year or so till the sponsorship is completed then plz before visiting Pakistan get ur lease agreement, parent's support letter or employer's letter showing that u have something to come back to.. i-e ur ties with Canada (it cud be anything but something to satisfy them that u intend to settle in Canada and u have made plans already for that)... send these documents along with ur plans and intentions beforehand.
- If u cant make this trip... then keep sending them voluntary documents such as gift receipts, skype log history, emails or cards exchanged, and phone bills.. or financial support documentations.
Pray for urself and everyone else... and have a good faith in ALLAH...n be patient..
