CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011 -2012

[Naqibee]

Yes, that's how it usually is.. they courier guy collects it on delivery.

By announcing/encouraging people to pay in advance is going to confuse a lot of the new ones, since TCS does NOT accept advance payment. Atleast not the ones I've been to.

[syedgj]

yes more then 3 painful years
Case filed in Feb 2010
Interview Passed, Remed and Passport sent Nov 2012
Now still waiting for PP return.

3 years is a long wait. Have you traveled a lot? Its been 5 months since they've asked for you passport. Did you ask your MP to find out what the problem is. I too have been waiting for 7 months now, but still no sign of passport return. They say its stuck in background checks

Hi, I have a question for you, I see that you applied in October 2011, I applied in November 2011, I got my file transferred apparently to Islamabad, but then found out it is actually in CPP Ottawa but never had any passport requested still (although copies were sent with the application itself, they yet did not request my husband's physical passport) do you know if yours is in Islamabad or CPP Ottawa? I'm so worried, my process seems to have halted

Also, anyone know who is in charge of the Spreadsheet? I would like to be added to it.

The only delay was because file was in interview queue and Interview also passed without any objection.
As per the latest updates CHC-ISB has not received medical results from New Delhi.

Please does anyone know what is a Bay Form and Family Registration Certificate. Are these forms/certificates only for Pakistanis or is it also for Afghans who are born in Pakistan (but are not Pakistani Citizens)?

Also regarding birth certificate. My son has a birth certificate issued by the Hospital that he was born in I think and on the back of the certificate it has stamps, etc of many places, people, etc and is attested. Is that the official birth certificate or is the official birth certificate given from somewhere else (government office, etc)?

Thanks for your reply, and I am sure you answered my question however I have almost absolute no clue what you said. If you or someone else on the forum can translate I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

I just found this forum and so glad I did. I'm sponsoring my husband who is in Pakistan (back when Processing time was still 26 months). Since lots of you here are experienced in the process, I wanted to ask a few opinions.

I submitted my application in November 2011 myself, made sure everything was complete, sent original documents of my husband and all photos, etc. About 2 weeks later, I got a phonecall from CIC asking to confirm my annual income. Thank god I had a copy of all the documents I sent and told them the exact figure. They told me on the spot that it has been approved in Missisauga now. My status became "In Process"

In January 2012, I got an email from CIC stating that they had received my application in November. 3 Days after that email, I got a letter "decision made" and the letter said that I had met the requirements for eligibility as a sponsor and that my file had been forwarded to the Islamabad High Commision Visa office.

I sat still and hung on tight. January 2013 came and I still heard nothing, so I called up the mayor and had a case worker there to help me figure out where it is. She gathered info and told me it was in CPP Ottawa.

1- Now it has been almost 14 months and I have not received a single message or anything from CIC. I was looking into the ATIP and Privacy Request where we can request info but I don't know which one to request my info under...the ATIP act or the Privacy Act? And what kind of info do they give you?

2- Also is this normal to hear so much in the first few months and not hear anything back for a very long time?

3- Does anyone here have their files in CPP Ottawa? Do you think they take longer than Islamabad or shorter time?

4- If I have a slight address change (municipality decided to add a word before my street name), should I update online or call...do you think calling will get them to pick up my file and be like "oh there is this file too" or they just get angry that they have to change my address slightly on everything?

Thanks so much in advance guys!!

you need to request it under the "access to information act" and pay the $5. the main difference between them is that the privacy act can only be used to request information on your own file, and the only canadian citizens or canadian PR can make these requests. Since your want information about your spouse's sponsorship application, that becomes a request for their file. Thus the acess to information request, and you will need to include the form signed by your spouse giving you consent to request information on their file. if you make a request for your file, then it will be the file for stage 1 in mississauga, and if you do a privacy act request for your spouse's file it will be refused.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/atip/requests-atip.asp
the steps are pretty simple, you need to pay $5.00 via credit card on their online payment form, fill in the consent form (the new consent form as of january 2013 is only valid for one request, so if you do multiple requests you will need multiple consent forms), and then the request form. make sure to choose email only, that is the fastest processing time, and yet still can take upto 30 days. your request is for the electronic copies of an immigration file for permanent residence. include your file B or F file number, your spouse's UCI (not the sponsor's), and the location is CHC-Islamabad. if you don't have your spouse's UCI it can be left blank.

i would expect an initial review to have happened on your file this month or nearby, so if you order in April (ie. take a week to get the signed consent form from your spouse to make the request) you should expect to have some notes on your file. However the timeline isn't guaranteed, so it could happen that your request has nothing in it yet, and you would end up wasting the $5 for this request.

it is normal to not hear anything yet, you might hear something from them starting month 15 after file transfer. for the address change, i would suggest you login into ecas and make the case specific inquiry asking them to change your address or change it through ecas since it is the canadian address that you are changing. the embassy won't respond to your phone calls, and the email might just be returned asking you to make the change yourself.

here is the message translated in english, to the best of my knowledge, i am not responsible for the content of the message or the information included within.

BAYFORM is made for kids under 18 years of age.. for whom the id card cannot be made due to their young age. Its official need is only to act as an id card. this is given to pakistani kids only, so if your child is of another nationality then you would get the birth certificate from the country of the nationality and then inform the embassy. if it is pakistani, then contact the NADRA office, cause that is where it is made. the family registration certificate will be made via your own nadra, and you will need your nikah namah (marriage certificate) to provide to nadra.

if there are any mistakes in the above TRANSLATION only, please someone correct me.

@ Reflectoman


1. Does CHC always ask for Re-PCC in wife cases?
2. If Re-PCC + PPR is clubbed together, how long do they usually provide to fulfill the requirements?
