Salam brother really please ignore that COMMENT from this person.

I give you this info that this member insults everyone!!!! Just look at past comments and what this member did on this forum to me.

I`m a new muslim who converted and this person said what kind of crap is this to say BROTHER, SISTER and In Sha Allah.

As a matter of fact this same person said to me that HE enjoys HIS BEER on a Saturday Night WATCHING CANADIAN HOCKEY in Canada.

So If I were you I would IGNORE this person as NO GOOD comes out of its Mouth and report it to the MODERATOR

And I call this person and IT as IT has no Respect for others and their Feelings.

Like they say Every DOG has its day and somewhere, sometime this IT will have its day too

Allah knows better than I in this matter.....In Sha Allah

Salam sister.

No I could not nor will be able to as a member here from 2012 to 2013 told a member here to call TCS to verify if that tracking number was for him or not. And since I suppose they must have contacted TCS only Allah knows better than I on this matter. I think because they contacted TCS well TCS has changed the whole sequence all together on us.

Please members who have no idea on a matter about the tracking Numbers DO NOT give other members info on what and what not to do until you know exactly how the TRACKING SYSTEM WORKS.

Because of this careless info it will be awhile until I or other members can find them again!

So until you know please don't give info if you don't know ok. Its upsetting enough that I found them only to lose them.

I and other member thought it would help some to know if something is coming.

Perhaps who ever finds them may just keep them for themselves and then we will all have to wait like old times.

TCS must be wondering how on earth we can track as its not Public Knowledge that they make it known about Private Affairs just think a bit about it its like getting access to your Bank Account.

So next time before a member jumps to give advice think about it do you really know what you are doing or giving advice on??

We are all lost for awhile until we can find another route!!! Oh I pray Allah helps us all get out of this mess with IMMIGRATION!!! In Sha Allah
Yes people, please keep this on the down low. Its something we put together as a support for our fellow 'chc-victims'. Do not involve officials in this. DO NOT mention this to any lawyer of yours, or your MP and especially not TCS. It shouldn't even go outside our CHC islamabad specific threads.

Your application/transfer date is the same as mine, although our timelines couldn't be more dissimilar. Tried the MP?

There are some cases the cic approves well within the timeline- and these are the ones that pass first scrutiny - meaning all the supporting documents, evidence, factors, pics, etc look good.

Cases that dont pass this criteria are set aside, given a bring forward date of 18-24 months. After that they look at it again, ask for more evidence and even an interview. They will drag it for as long as they can thinking that if the marriaige is not genuine then the applicant and sponsor will get frustrated and give up.

Even after all this - the applicant and sponsor are still there -then they give the visa.

My hubby received a call from CIC-Islamabad asking him about his re-med TODAY.
He gave all the details about re-med & asked if they want him to send proof of medical being sent.
To this they said no. And, they said they will try to find his medical.
Today. 10th of June it has been exact 24 months since our file has been transferred to Islamabad.

I can vouch for the truth of this statement. The initial review is very crucial. Had I known that, I would have been even more careful in filing my initial application.

Alert – Strike Action

The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) union is currently taking strike action. PAFSO union members responsible for processing visa applications have been walking out of offices in Canada and overseas.

Posted processing times for both temporary and permanent resident visa applications do not take into account work stoppages.

Anyone applying for a visa should anticipate delays and submit their application as far in advance as possible.

Contingency plans are already in place to ensure all offices remain open and are providing at least a minimum level of service. Priority will be placed on urgent humanitarian applications.

CIC continues to closely monitor the situation.
Does this affect us?
I certainly hope not!!
