Salam and you made my day thank you so much May Allah bless you In Sha Allah
Its so sad that almost 3 years since you applied and yet your husband didn't get the visa. I wonder why chc wants to torture people from Pakistan as well as torturing and deterring Canadian citizen/immigrants so people would not sponsor from Pakistan. This is their strategy to keep all pakis away or keep them at bay. But as long as our people are fully determined, so they will wait until get in to Canada.

May Allah make things easy and faster for you. Ameen. & Eid Mubarak.

Oh my Allah I just read the processing time jumped again, this is so shocking. When we first applied in 2010 oh so long ago the processing time was 18 months. They now put it at 31 months like this is unreal I can't believe this is happening.
Jason Kenny did nothing but line his pockets with our lives and it stops here and now I pray Allah gives me strength because what they are doing to us is Inhuman the likes of them playing with our lives like were dam numbers........
Its stops here and now In Sha Allah

Hello & Eid Mubarak to All!

As you can see in my timeline, I applied in Jan. 2013, got Step-1 approval from Mississauga in February saying: it will be transferred to CHC-ISB.

However, just 2 days back I got a package and letter from CIC from the office of: Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa (CPP-O).

Letter was dated July 31, 2013 and said they have enclosed original documents that were submitted with my application...copies have been kept...etc.

The package included my wife's original education docs, her original birth certificate, our original Nikkha form, my original expired Canadian Passport which I submitted to show Entry/Exit stamps from Pakistan. (They still have our original Marriage Certificate)

I have seen some other people have also received some of their original docs back.

Is this normal, to receive docs back? And the time it took me to receive my docs back is 6 months, is that to long?

Another family friend of ours is sponsoring her husband from Pakistan, she received some of his original docs WITH her Step-1 Approval letter back in January 2013.

How do I find out if my file is in CPP-O or CHC-ISB ?

Since my approval letter said it will be transferred to Islamabad, but now I'm getting my documents from Ottawa.

I emailed Islamabad to request to change my wife's mailing address, they sent me a email back (1.5 months later) saying they do not accept emails to change mailing addresses, but my wife will need to instead fax them the information. Didn't mention if the file is actually in ISB or not.

So I am damn confused as to where my file is now.

Any help is much appreciated.

Husband arrived October 17,2014
I have been to Pakistan many times. In fact I got back this June22/13 I was there for 14 months I know what I'm speaking about. I have also been there many times before my last time in fact several my Pass Port is full of Visa's for Pakistan since I met my husband.

What breaks my heart is the length of time they take like next month it will be 3 years we are waiting to have a life as husband & wife. Tell me like how long is long enough to make a decision that concerns us being as a couple. like waiting this length of time. A person can wait all their lives we can pray our prayers as this is what keeps us Sane.

Not the way they treat each human being who applies we are all considered guilty and prove your innocent.

I have spoken to many people in Canada as I was acquainted with many MP's and they are all the same. They do nothing but sign papers and hardly ever read a document. They really don't care look at MP Jason Kenny he was ousted why because of the many mistakes he has done with Immigration while feathering his nest with our hard earned tax dollars.

I want a life with my husband whom I love very much and if the only way to be together here in Canada or Pakistan I will go with him. Life is too short to wait and wait until they make a decision on a simple straight forward case.

If my husband can make a decision and come here I can also make a decision to go there. The world is small now today with planes in all places. He has told me several times to quit the process and move there and I have spoken to him and several members of my family to convince him to wait but waiting gets you no where.

In December the Visa Officer said the back ground check can take from 6 to 9 months well it will be 9 months next month Sept 13/13 so lets see what happens. If its not final after making numerous attempts to different agencies and forums on here one is Road To Canada Forums. One person has been waiting over 6 years because he traveled a lot to different places so because of this he case is taking all this time to be final just because he traveled the world.

Don't get me wrong I love Canada its clean medical care sucks if the doctors were paid by patients and not by salary they would be working but instead they are sitting on their rears because it doesn't matter how many patients they see they get paid the same. Our jobs in Canada are failing WHY because the small minimum wage.

Poor people are getting rich while the rich keep getting more rich. Where is the logic in this.

I'm a North American Indian of The Micmac Tribe we have so many people living in poverty its a shame. This is our land whether you understand or not we were not paid but some are starting to get paid for this great land we call Canada.
Most of the people French and English would have died if it was not for us helping them in the winter in order to survive.

then what do they do make us sign TREATIES then put us on small parcels of land and not good land like them mostly swamps. Then they take us force us into residential school force us not to speak our Mother Tongue if we did we got beaten. They didn't ask our parents they came in took children forced a religion, beat us sexaual molestation so how would you or anyone feel.
Then in the late nineties Prime Minister apologises to the Natives for doing the harm they did. Some children died at their hands. There is also a sign in Halifax Nova Scotia saying how much for a scalp of and Indian it was not the Indian who invented scalping it was the white man.

So I know what I'm speaking about in all cases I have seen the poverty in Pakistan the poor children digging through garbage for anything to eat, how can this happen. The power failures and make people suffer like they do as I have suffered last year. I can leave at any time I want but my husband can't. He can get Visa's to other countries but to come to Canada you almost need to be a millionaire.

Its was Allah's will for us to marry we prayed and we got our answer to Marry I regret nothing. I regret applying for Immigration to Canada as we could apply to any other country and get accepted but as Canada says 31 months to process when they can process cases in 4 months for others where is the fairness. NONE

I want a life with my husband as a MUSLIM Wife and HUSBAND not delaying time in our lives and being at their mercy. The length of time has been too long. We could have lived a normal life but this is not normal and the Canadian Government continues their plan to make it harder and harder for all of us.

So CIC Islamabad has till Sept 13/13 then we make ours whether here in Canada or in Pakistan we are making our life happen.

With Guidance from Allah and no one else. May Allah help us all in this Life to Eternity In Sha Allah

Salam All,

I sponsored my wife who is in Pakistan last year in October. Wondering if anyone here can help me get a better understanding.

My application timelines are:
Application received: Nov 5, 2012
Sponsor approval Letter received: Dec 14, 2012
Original Nikah Nama/Wife's original degree returned: July 31st, 2013 (as the letter stated copies were kept and originals were not needed) - this came from Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa (CPP-O)

My question is:

What stage is my application at?
What follows next?
How much longer am I looking at from a processing stand point?


Any help/clarification/guidance would be extremely appreciated!

It is sad to see that you have gone through so much since such a long time but hopefully there is a light at the end of the tunnel. So don't give up now. Always seek help from Allah as I had done so in the past because I was told by the MP's office that my wife has zero chance to get the visa but God is great. So whenever chc Islamabad did not want to issue visa but By the help of almighty Allah it was done in a flash after the interview.
May Allah answer your supplications soon.

Salam Aliakum bro,
About 2 months ago my sister-in-law send her passport from Kabul to Islamabad and it took 25 days but now since this stupid strike I am not sure how long it will take
