It sucks that processing time has been increased to 31 months.

My wife case is in background check for the last 2 months. anybody else is going through same check recently.

Just to let you know guys. Islamabad is also on rotating strike as they didn't respond to my recent inquiry from MP.

May Allah bring us together and shower blessing on us. Ameen

Don't want to scare you or anything but on the 16th of August it will be a year since my case would have been under background checks! And with the on-going strike and the processing time going up. I don't see it coming back any soon. I'm asking for my passport back, they can carry on with their checks for as long as they want now!!

Why are they doing background check after asking for ur passport? Is there a particular reason?

Salam, this is sickening the time line of 31 months. Our Case will be 3years next month. I pray its done soon as they say but if its not I'm moving to Pakistan hell with Canada. I'm a North American Indian my people were here before every Immigrant because if your an Aboriginal of Canada you were here before them. I will throw my Pass Port and tell them I have had enough with CIC Islamabad Pakistan as they don't deserve a raise they need the boot and fast. They think they own the land well they never paid us for our land they call Canada. But out West they are starting to pay land claims to Aboriginals of our Native Land.

Its a sad state we are all in with CIC Islamabad as for a few bad apples they make everyone suffer which is terrible May Allah help us all In Sha Allah. It breaks my heart when I see new members asking how long it will take to process the case and I think brother or sister May Allah help us all In Sha Allah

If your case is in interview queue, I don't think this way will work.
However, it might help your case come out of interview queue.

I hit 24 months on 4th Aug. I am preparing to send more proves INSHALHA end of this month. I am also going to visit my hubby next month for 3 weeks. I see you mentioned to someone that while visiting one can fax to ISL and say that they want to return with their hubby. Does this work? for case like mine? my husband is in interview queue?
MP told me to contact him again in September, then he will email ISL to find out if interview has been scheduled or not. I am visiting this forum after almost 1 month. Its nice not be here more often otherwise it gets frustrating. MP says if you get interview, there is nothing scary about that ... it only means that immigration officer has received your file with the information and he would like to confirm your story. But I know that it takes while to schedule interview. But now since it has already been 24 months, how long more may be another 6 months ?? But I am still going to send more proves any way, I think this will also help my hubby in interview (if he has one).

Sorry for the funny part.!! But I was asking for something like if we can change VISA office to somewhere else other than Islamabad, would that help.?

yes, I am talking about after Marriage, so which one is feasible., applying for TRV after sponsership or applying for TRV before applying for sponsership, but both after marriage.?
Its been hell of a ride for all of us ... so when you say "speeding up process" its like jale pe namak chiraknia ... if you know what I mean ... lol
Also when I think about it now, I don't think you can sponor some one while they are in Canada on visitors visa ... it does not make sense.. coz what If the process takes 1 yr and they only hold visa for 6 months... by the end of their visa end they will have to go back ... may be you can do more research on this... I was not able to do that coz I heard it is only 20% of chances that your spouse will get TRV....
I am not sure what do you mean by changing visa office ... if your spouse hold paki passport you are supposed to apply to CHC isl ..
