CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011 -2012

[Arkansas2045]

By these times you meant "Processing times in Islamabad when file is recieved there" or "total time since application is made in Mississauga" . . . . ?
It's about 13 months since I've applied and 11 months since her file is transfered in Islamabad. My wife's file is still in queue of initial review but no response as yet and address did not disappear. 3 months back my MP told that I might hear somthing in March 2012 from CHC-I.

It would be from the time the file was received in Islamabad.

I am in the same boat as you, nothing so far since the file transfer in Jan 2011. I am scared that they have slowed down and now doing initial reviews after 13-14 months of file transfer due to shortage of staff & backlog. Lets hope they speed it up InshaAllah.

I hope that is not the case and they start speeding things up! All the best, hang in there!

Hi guys, I'm July 2010 AOR, remdical done since July 2011 and waiting for PPR. I have sent a couple of emails to Islamabad in the past few months, and got a reply saying that background checks are underway. I sent another inquiry on January 2nd, 2010 and this is the reply I got:

File number:


Dear Client,

This is in response to your email enquiry regarding the length of processing time for your application.

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act requires that each person applying for a visa to Canada be screened in several different ways, which means applicants must undergo health, security and criminality screening processes.
Often, delays in the processing of an application are out of our control as some processing steps require coordination with external authorities.
Our office will contact you and / or your spouse as soon as all verifications are completed, or as soon as more information, documents or an interview are required.
Delays in the processing of visa applications are always frustrating to all concerned, but rest assured that all efforts are being made to ensure an efficient and expeditious processing of all visa applications, including the one which is of interest to you.
For future reference, please quote the primary applicant's full name and date of birth, and the file number in all correspondence sent to our office.
Please note that we will be unable to reply to messages which do not include either the name AND date of birth of the primary applicant or the file number under which your application is being processed.

It seems like they are conducting background checks on your application as yours is probably a husband case. Once your background check is over, they will send you the PPR InshaAllah.

Wrong

The whole process if everything is proper and its a straight forward case:

Wife case: 15-18 months (now)
Husband case: 16-20 months (now)
[/quote

wife case---- faster
husband case-----slower

Khan10,

When processing visa applications, Canadian Visa Offices use an electronic system to gather and update applicant’s information, as well as to make notes on the status of an applications progress. The system that is used for this purpose is called GCMS (formerly CAIPS).

In addition to recording all of the information that you provided with your application, your GCMS/CAIPS file will also contain notes entered by the Visa Officers who have reviewed your file, which often include such things as which documents remain outstanding, as well as when your application is set to be reviewed. At the present time, this is the only method available of determining when your application is set to be reviewed by the Visa Office. Your GCMS/CAIPS report will often include the following information:

1. Status of your case and required or missing documents
2. When your application will be formally assessed
3. Immigration officer's assessment of your case (points calculations)
4. Immigration officer's notes
5. Program assistant's notes
6. Details of the processing stages passed
7. Questions you may be asked in the interview (if an interview is required)

You are not required to obtain a copy of your GCMS/CAIPS report. However, there are times in which having access to your GCMS/CAIPS notes will prove very useful:

1. If you have been invited to attend an interview (this will help you prepare for the interview)
2. If you feel that your application is taking much longer than usual or you have not heard anything from the visa office for a long time
3. The date on which your application is set to be reviewed.
4. If you have any question regarding the application or you are just curious about the status of your application

I hope this helps.
