CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2009 -2010

[tuco]

If your wife is getting OSAP the sponsorship can't be denied because of this. OSAP is not considered welfare, it is government assistance for students but does not fall under the welfare category. The only way she would be denied is if she is currently on welfare.

yeah Insh-Allah they will approve it...shukriya sis

danny bhai thx for sending me a personl msg to guide me abt writing the embassy .
shakeela and maria sisters ...thx alot for ur prompt replies

* this forum is a "heaven" for us all in the time of pareshany . i lov u all for suporting and replying rite away.when i read replies my pareshany went away while i speak to sala lawyer and he increses my pareshany by telling me balance dues of fee ,i have paid him more than half and asking him to get me approval show me some work and i will clear ur balance ,but hes keep on insisting abt balance and blake mailing me and i'm thinkin to cancel his services as i dont require his "zero"expertise . what do u say ?

Yeah lawyers are useless in these matters and even they can't do anything to make the process faster. Anyways, now its too late just ask your questions here for better understanding and information...Don't cancel your service just yet as advised above. He migh take an advantage and screw your case around if you do that so let it be the way it is for now...

Salaam Everyone,

I had a chance to send my concerns to ministers@ and got a very generic response. It seemed like cut and paste from already drafted responses. I will find the email and put it here some time later. My concerns it that we may get similar response from the office clerks.

My suggestion would be to mail to Jason Kenny and cc to minsters@, Stephen Harper and your local MP. What do you say?

Regards,

This is what I received from the ministry:

Dear xxxxxxxx:



This is in reply to your correspondence dated December 14, 2010, addressed to the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism, concerning Family Class (spouses and partners) processing times in Islamabad.



The Minister appreciates your concern regarding processing times. Probably no other immigration issue causes more dismay or gives greater concern than processing delays. We understand that as processing times lengthen, anxiety levels increase, especially among those waiting to be reunited with family. We make every effort to deal with the applications we receive in the most efficient and effective way. However, the many steps involved in processing an application, coupled with the volume of applications, sometimes make it difficult to conclude cases in as timely a manner as we would like. In addition, processing delays often occur when the information provided is incomplete, unclear or documentation or processing fees are missing. In such situations, officials must stop the processing until they receive the required information from the applicants.



Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has finite resources to deploy throughout its extensive overseas network. Many visa offices have large caseloads that involve priority class applications and require sufficient allocations of CIC’s finite resources to ensure these cases are finalized as quickly as possible. Processing times vary from office to office due to caseload, .



Family reunification is a priority of CIC. Accordingly, every effort is made to complete the processing of spousal applications as quickly as possible. In addition to meeting the statutory requirements of being in good health and of good character, the visa officer must be satisfied that the applicant is admissible to Canada, and, in the case of spouses, that the relationship is genuine and not entered into for immigration purposes only. This means that foreign nationals who want to live permanently in Canada must meet certain requirements which include medical, criminality and security clearances. These requirements exist to protect the interests and safety of Canadians.



CIC conducts background checks by working together with partner agencies such as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and sometimes with agencies of foreign governments. CIC’s background screening processes are non-discriminatory and universal in their application. Any delays that our partner agencies may incur in providing input to CIC are something over which we have no control.



Thank you for taking the time to write. I trust that this information is of assistance.

Thanks for your reply!

Welcome to Re PCC and IMM Forms members club
1. Yes you have to paste one photo.
2. Not everyone was asked for Sponsor's passport copy may be you did not provide it earlier.
3. May be we did not fill them properly last time or they threw them in garbage

Thankyou Wes786 for your response!

1) I say do they ask for, they didn ask to provide photos then don't send them any they should have nine photos that you provided with the initial application.
2) Not everyone is asked for the PP copy.
3) Becase it has been too long since you have applied, and they want your current status. I.e. Recent Travel history, recent education, family information etc...

sounds like a generic response and also that we should basically shut up and put up with 21 months of processing times.

YAH RIGHT ,,,,,SOME OF U GUYS R AT THE END OF UR CASE SO PLEASE WAIT,,,,, DONT MAKE IT WORSE PLZ

No one is making it worst ............. and I am always shocked to see the unusual level of fear in our community ............ this is not Pakistan and even if we all get a generic response we should still send as many letter as we can ......... unless we complain against this waiting time, no one is going to knock our door to tell us that they heard us bickering at this forum and decided to visit our home to resolve our need................ and we are not making any complain against anyone working on our files ............... so what is the fear ........... I have worked for one of the Govt programs and people used to come to me and say ............. we pay your salary as tax payers and how dare you have not completed my file yet. .............. and when I look at Pakistani community I only see escapist and people waiting for mercy than standing up and doing anything ...........even Sardars are far better than Pakistanies ......... at least they stand up for their community .......... there is always a level of strength in numbers, so lets continue our morale instead of giving up based on one response .......... I have sent my letter already to Prime Minister, Jason Kenny and Director to Asia

 

[mariah]

coz if uguys cant take stand for ur self dont expect any1 else too !!

am done with the sending of my letters

 

[Ranjah]

Well said brother became a loner and Sis Mariah.

Sister Sawera, do you know why Harper govt is going to add a new law of giving PR card to sponsored spouse after two years of his/her arrival to Canada?
Let me save your little time in googling that up and give you a answer here: Because Sardars/sikh community stood up for that and they raised their voices to make that thing happend.

I repeat If you wana join us for the sake of Allah then join the cause otherwise please please please backoff and refrain yourself in giving discouraging statements.

Over Saturday and Sunday I spent 15 hours of my very precious time to run this campaign and now your one discouraging line (on which probably you spent one minute) is pissing me and rest of ~25 members off who have decided to join us in this cause; it is worth noted that success of the cause would give benefit to you too.
