My wife lives an hour or so away from Islamabad, so it wasn't too much of a problem.

I wasn't asked for my citizenship certificate. I was only asked for a couple of IDs when I went to the passport office here. I did not send any originals to them.

..about LVP: did you mention somewhere in your letter that you're applying for LVP? or do they just assume that this application will be for LVP?

Thanks.

Bro there are a few other forms that u need to fill along with pptc 042 which u can only get from the canadian consulate . In that package limited validity form is also included . I had to give originals of my citizenship certificate and her B-form and Birth certificate .

Re: CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011

Welcome to forum,
Currently as per CIC website in 2010 80% of cases were processed in 23 months which is definitely average time...

Apparently on forum most of the 2009 cases have been completed (Got PPR & waiting for Passport with visa) only a few are left. some of the 2010 1st quarter cases have also been completed and all of those were wife cases with an exception and most of 2010 cases are either getting Imm forms, PCC update & remed requests.
so its on average take 14 to 20 months minimum that may increase to 23 as per CIC site
o yes by 2010 & 2009 cases I mean those who got AOR (Acknowledgement of Receipt) letter in that year i-e the time when Processing starts at CHC- Islambabd

Hello

I am new to this Forum .

I have a query.

I and my wife applied for canadian immigration in 2006 and got it. But only i landed in Canada and became PR. In 2010 I sponsored my wife and two children while i was still a PR. Now i am canadian Citizen and currently living with my family in Pakistan. Last month I received a letter at my canadian address, from Scarborough Town Centre to appear for interview in regard with my Sponsorship. Now what i should do now?.

Hi everyone!

Congratulations khan82 sis for recieving remedical..next step PPR INSHALLAH!

Please keep me in your prayers too..m really trying not to freak out, holding my grounds..

I was wondering if we ever had any cases here when someapplicant recieved objection letter who then recieved remedical and PPr..as in i wanted to have an estimate of time of their reviewing the onjection letter reply and then moving on to the next step..

I am a June 2010 AOR, recieved objection letter and IMM forms and PCC in april 2011..now m waiting desperately for a response since may 10th when i sent them a reply of the objection letter..i really really hope i hear something good =s
Hi dear thank you so much you are all in my prayers always since all of us have same situation second what was your objection letter based on .....on which point they give you objection you need to provide them with more proofs and Insahllah they will send you remedical and PPR

Welcome on the forum. Its good to have a job but in order to sponser a spouse and depended childern job & income is not required to qualify. Meeting income limite is not required for spouse its your right to have family togather. Your husband is still eligible to sponser you. I advice discuss this with your husband and submit the sponsership application right away. There is 16-18 months waiting period already so dont delay it any further. After submitting your application when your husband find a job insha allah than you can send the job reference to embassy. :)

Re: CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011

There are two stages of approval for the spousal sponsorship. The first stage approval is from CIC Canada, I am not sure for Quebec but for rest of Canada it is Case Processing Centre Mississuaga. On approval of first stage where they only see if the sponsor is living in Canada, can efford the financial need of the sponsored family and is not default of loans or previous sponsorship/s. It is not necessary that the sponsor is empoyed at that time. On approval the case is forwarded to Islamabad, who will assign the file number within usually 2 months of receiving the case and then go to sleep and will open the file again after almost a year and start asking you for documents for proof of income, updated police certficates, IMM forms, remedical etc.

There is no minimum income requirement while sponsoring spouse and dependent child so he if he is not sure when he will get job and want to save few months on processing, he can submit the sponsorship application and mention that he is searching for a job and will update CIC or CHC once he is employed. I did the same and once I was employed I updated CIC.
