I used to come to this forum by the nick of Became-a-loner, I disappeared from this forum after making some very good friends (in real life) and after earning some really foolish enemies, then after my wife got Remedical I returned to this forum with this new nick

here is my happy ending

Applied Dec 2010

File transferred Feb 2011

Visitor visa to Canada applied Dec 2011

Six months Visitor Visa granted: March 2012

Visitor Visa extended until March 2013

Re-Medical, IMM Forms, Re-PCC Oct 2012

Remedical Done in Canada Oct 2012

Medical received on e-cse Nov 2012

PPR Feb 2013

Visa Issued March 2013

Total 27 months time during which she lived with me in Canada for a year.

Tips:

Provide them as much proof as possible before the initial review of file, Dont send them anything Voluntarily unless requested once Remedical is issued

Dont provide too much documents (my file was weighing 7 KG and as a result it took them longest time to open it because they can set it aside and clear 4 files of 1 KG each

Apply for Visitor visa before the initial review, even if they decline it, it has no negative impact, instead it has positive impact since it shows that sponsor wants to spend more time with spouse in Canada.

Write a reasonable covering letter to Visit Visa Officer indicating that you fully understand the consequences of non compliance with regulation if she does not return to Pakistan in time and will make sure that she will return in time before the visa expiry.

Your job or income status does not matter to CHC-ISB. I work for Federal Govt of Canada and part time with City Govt of Toronto, it took me 27 months and I know guys who dont have a job and their spouses were granted immigration in 16 months.

If you spouse works or is studying in Pakistan, there is a better chance for him/her to get visit visa since you can at least show on documents that she has ties to Pakistan

For Visit visa, your income as a sponsor and job status does count.

dont bother Emailing CHC-ISB that is a complete waste of time, there is a pakistani guy who responds to email while he is texting his cousin girl friend.

Dont talk too much with your spouses using skype or phone, it will just make u more frustrated and upset, try to find some occupation such as study or some hobby, I know its hard but it is required for your sanity.


If your spouse has any family ties with politicians/Military/police/law enforcement, better dont indicate it on your file, I did that and they sent her file to detailed security check which took 9 months (yes an idiot advised me and I was an even bigger idiot to listen to him.

Old applicants will be more fairly treated because they are not sending new files to CHC-ISB directly, instead those sit in Ottawa for more than a year so unless CHC-ISB clears the backlog from 2010-2011 they wont have the luxury of picking up and finalizing the new applications and dumping the old one's into their BF bin.


One last thing..............DONT TELL YOUR CASE progress to your relatives or friends, if anyone writes a letter or email to CHC-ISB that your marriage is fake, they will set aside your file for years and put you in an interview que, I am not making it up I know an ex-employee of CHC-ISB who worked for immigration unit there for almost a decade, they have an official name of it called "Poison Letter"

If you need any help, please feel fee to ask by PM.

the following is a useful link in terms of their processing requirements.

As u said provide them as many proofs as u can...

Heres my story.. I have been married for 2 years i have a daughter my husband and I spent out time together for 2 years before getting bound to this immigration process we waited for two years before filing our application... During which Allah blessed us with a daughter she is 1 year old now.... But since we have been travelling during these years.. And due to our nature we didnt keep receipts or boarding passes i didnt have much evidences to provide to cic.. Even though i have separate bank account in which my husband has kept enough money for me.. No proof of financial support either ...Allah janay ab kya hota hai agay...but i have heard k jitni shadi purani ho utna acha hota hai immigration k liye

[Jaania]

My friend and cousin in law is back at CHC ISB, she was on maternity leave.

Will find out whats going on in a few days.

She is not desi, she went to work in Pakistan from Ottawa, she is Canadian and married to my cousin, they moved to Pakistan 5 years ago.

 

[Jaania]

if my wife send me scaned of her birth certificate,educational doc is it work for orignals? Plz reply soooooon

NO, THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS REQUESTED ON THE DOCUMENT LIST IS MANDATORY, ORIGINALS ARE A MUST.

YOU SHOULD CHECK WITH YOUR LAWYER, HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THIS.

THIS FORUM IS ONLY HELPFUL FOR THE PROCESS NOT ON FILLING OUT YOUR DOCUMENTS AND OR APPLICATION.

 

[Jaania]

DON2, ISHAAK and ZIA BHAI any update from your side?

I sent a copy of the re-medical slip along with a letter to CHC ISB, even gave them the IOM tracking number from ISB to ND

I think our VO is the same guys. She needs to pick up her pace!

I didn't send my wife original education document to CHC. Only certified copies. However i am not sure if i sent original birth certificate or not?

CHC never asked me any of the original. So don't worry send the certified copies of educational document.

 

[I-ask-u-why]

As u said provide them as many proofs as u can...

Heres my story.. I have been married for 2 years i have a daughter my husband and I spent out time together for 2 years before getting bound to this immigration process we waited for two years before filing our application... During which Allah blessed us with a daughter she is 1 year old now.... But since we have been travelling during these years.. And due to our nature we didnt keep receipts or boarding passes i didnt have much evidences to provide to cic.. Even though i have separate bank account in which my husband has kept enough money for me.. No proof of financial support either ...Allah janay ab kya hota hai agay...but i have heard k jitni shadi purani ho utna acha hota hai immigration k liye

I can imagine that a married couple would consider demands of CHC-ISB for proof of relationship as breach of privacy .... and who in his normal mind set would keep such evidence which is considered a part of daily life anyways but unfortunately you have to feed the mouth of beast (CHC-ISB) with the meal of their liking.

I assume you guys have pictures together of events if not call on all the people who invited you guys for family functions to get family and group photographs.

Proof of child's birth is a strong evidence indeed but sometimes it backfires when they suspect that the child is not yours and instead a nephew or niece whom you are trying to take with you to Canada and ask you for DNA testing which further delays the processing........ I know its ugly and disgusting but they have the privilege to demand such a thing and you have no right to say NO to it, they have their own reasons since some Pakistani couples have done such things in the past which were caught by the system and it gives them a BAD PRECEDENCE to act on it based on their DUE DILIGENCE to protect the system from abuse......... long story short, make sure you dont leave evidence behind to prove that the child is yours ..... means please dont take it for granted that they have to believe the child is yours........ I have examples to quote but dont wanna waste your time in reading all that and scaring you at the end.


Provide the copies of entry stamps on all passports Yourself Husband and Daughter and writing a covering note that all the dates match which means you guys were together all this time, use highlighter on dates.

going forward ask hubby to send the money through Moneygram or Western Union (since CHC-ISB seem to believe in these two companies)

This is how the process goes

Application transferred from Mississauga to CHC-ISB (as used to be the case until the pilot project started)

File put in storage and BF date set up

File is assigned two File numbers Fxxxx as electronic identification and Bxxxx for actual paper file in COLD STORAGE ROOM

Their computer program GCMS (used to be CAIPS) would alert them on the BF date that the initial review is due (this is why one should send as much evidence as possible before initial review so they dont waste your time asking you for proof of relationship)


File is taken to a Desi Guy/Girl called CASE ANALYST who would do initial review and determine that if marriage and relationship met all the norms of culture or if more evidence is required

Case Analyst at that point can do either of the three things

Issue Re-PCC plus IMM

Issue Re-PCC plus IMM Plus Remdedical

Satisfied with evidence and makes a proposal for Immigration Officer's review for approval

Immigration Officer can agree or disagree with the proposal (if disagree they would cancel the remedical request issued by Case Analyst, cancellation means the mail wont be sent out because IO wants more proof or background check.

If in the meantime you send more evidence when they did not demand it, it would trigger mandatory review of documents by Case Analyst and that means you are looking at additional months and months of wait, depends how busy the Desi Dude and his Gora boss are in gossip over the cup of tea.


Lets say PPR issued.

passport received by CHC-ISB

Passport attached to file and sent to Immigration Officer for final review of documents (this is where they respond to your question, where is my passport and the answer is ....... your file is in the que for review by Immigration Officer, there is nothing to be scared, it is just a standard process that IO wants to see the passport as original and match info on the passport with application

IO approves it (that is where you see decision made and address changed to Canada)

IO forwards it to Quality Assurance department where they sort out your original documents they need to return to you such as educational, pics etc. and shred the rest, issue COPR and dispatch it to TCS to be returned to you.

Hope it helps

Good Luck and please dont take anything wrong here I dont mean any personal attack on anyone's relationship, just trying to explain to the best of my ability.
