Ok then

So i finally decided to write an email, in my usual style to CHC and guess what, Got a reply from them within scarcely believe 15 minutes :eek: (Some say, the pen is mightier then a sword, I say Damn right)

they say that they receive my documents on certain date and the file is with an immigration officer for review.

No idea what does that means, in past, replies to my queries were like "File is in Que for initial review" and whats not.

So guys! your 2 cents on this?

It means they received whatever you sent and the file is in queue for review on your next BFD.

Looks like CHC wanna tell you that their 1 line dominates you whole articulation :p
Seems your done with initial wait means Initial Review is done finally and you'll start having some activity on your file now. Soon they would tell its in Decision making officer Queue who would give final decision on Sponsorship and Relationship and then Bkground and reMeds & finally the EID - PPR. All the best bro

It's 2.5% from my side as Zakat is also due this month ;)

Alright, first of all let me clear something up for you. You are the applicant and your sponsor buying a car from states would not be tax free, because first of all its coming from States not Pakistan and secondly its your sponsor purchasing it, and doesn't matter whose name its under. So I don't think that this option is valid, applicant can only bring or get stuff shipped in from the home country to CANADA taxfee when they land for the first time or shortly after landing. Someone correct me if I am wrong!

Regarding your PCC, It doesn't matter what it says on your passport or ID card for addressess, because people move all the time. However, if your PCC states address you only lived until 2008 and none from 2009 -2011 then thats a problem. If you have mentioned on the forms that you lived at different addressess for more than 6 months from 2008 to 2011, and your PCC don't show those addresses then I am afraid you will have to get a PCC from your current district. For example: If you lived in FB Area from 2008 - 2009 and lived in Clifton from 2009 to present you will need a PCCs from each district.

Wes bhai, I have lots and lots of questions for you....:) But anyone who has answers to any of the following, please guide me! Thanks :)

1. My husband is wanting to get a car from USA, but on my name. We have heard that one can bring anything for the first time, dutyfree. Since the car would basically be a wedding gift, if we book it now and lets say, keep the delivery/collection date for november or december, what would the process be like? I just have an expired learners licence :-[ and would be getting a licence made right after Eid inshAllah- but is there a rule or anything saying that a person with a valid licence can purchase a car? How would the insurance etc work out?

2. As everyone knows, I received a re-pcc along with re-filling the Imm forms request on 4th Aug- Have sent everything and they'll receive it by tomorrow or by wed inshAllah. It took 15 days for the re-pcc to be made as the halaat in khi were pretty bad. Anyone who has made the re-pcc, they can tell that the format has changed for it completely! Which is why i'm having a little problem..My id and passport have my old residential address, on which the old pcc was made (as I never got my id and passport changed before applying for spouse sponsorship), and its the same for the new one now- however, the new one states that I lived in that house from 2003-2008- so technically, this new pcc isnt even valid anymore because i'm now living in another house! My mailing address sent to CIC for all documentation is of my parents place- whereas, the permanent address i've entered for all documents is for my inlaw's residence.
The problem is- even though they can see from my forms (all homes I have lived in since the age of 18) and id, passport that I have lived in that house, the new pcc states a 'lived from' and 'lived till' column- and thats only till 2008! Now Im living with my inlaws and keep visiting my parents (they live two lanes away- and this old house of mine was in the same lane as my inlaws)....
So would it create a problem? Would they want me to get a pcc again, which mentions my mailing address (parents) or permanent address (inlaws)? As none of these addresses are in the id or passport! Because if they do that, I'd have to get another id and then a new passport made with either my parents or my inlaws address-and then get a pcc....which will take centuries as getting an id or passport made these days is a big hassle!

Since the pcc took so long to arrive, I mailed it out and then saw that they had written the date till which I was living in that house...so im really confused now :(

Told you all, these guys are heartless. All they care about is make money from people and play with their emotions and feelings.

I can only speak for myself and what I would do. I would NEVER ask for a 30 day extension and have my wife have the medical in Karachi. I would tell her to go to Lahore or Islamabad and pay the extra cost. Trying to save a few hundred bucks will add a month or more to the process.
