All repected forum members!!!

A little support is needed from you guys regarding processing times. I strongly believe that our foriegn officials can make a difference.
I got an email address of Pakistani foreign official to Canada. I wrote him an email and expalined the issue, I got a reply from him too.

I will stronly recomend all members here to write him and exert some pressure to pursue Canadian Immigation Officials about long,unfair processing time for spouse visa. Write him about all complaints and problems which we all "spouse" are facing. By getting emails from many and different people would make the issue serious, strong and critical.
Here is email address:

reflectiveimran@gmail.com,
imranali@pakmission.ca

Please do write and contribute your part atleast against unfair and unjust.


God bless all.

No! You don't have to fill out the application forms twice. Sponsors and applicants for Permanent Residence are asked to complete both the new Application to sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344) form and the Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). So what that means is that after you fill your sponsor application and your partner the permanent resident forms. You will have to send your sponsor application to the country where your partner resides. She will have to sign the sponsor application (IMM 1344 and also fill her Generic application form for Canada IMM 0008) signed and send it back to you so you can submit it to Mississauga Case processing center.
Thanks Omer!.. Just one more question.. I was trying to fill out the new form IMM 1344 in which the BAR CODES have been placed. However, they ask for UCI/Client ID.. I tried putting N/A and tried to even leave it blank, but whenever i try to hit the button "VALIDATE" it doesn't go through and asks me to fill the that UCI field. I don't have anything like that and leaving it blank isn't working too.. Any comments please?

Thanks...

We received passport request letter dated November 29, 2011 and sent pakistani passport on December 08, 2011 through TCS with completed forms and passport size photos. as of February 09, 2012 my wife has not received her passport yet.

Anyone knows if it is taking longer for passport to be returned with VISA?

Here second medical was done in October, 2011 so is still valid and also police report was done in September, 2011. Both medical and police report are valid so what can be the problem? Should I ask MP office to do status check?

Anybody else in similar situation?

I think we should also send letter to Pakistani Media. And explain how badly Pakistani nationals are being treated in foreign country. Hasb-e-hal is a great program. If we send a letter to them than i am sure that they will bring up this issue. This will accomplish two thing first it will compel Pakistani officials to act on behalf of us. Pakistani foreign office will talk to Canadian foreign office.
Second Canadian govt will take some action to avoid negative publicity ..... Just an idea.

Yes it is very much confusing whose address and how to check, Believe it or not I never knew it until someone showed me how to do it. Because I was always looking at my canadian address but then I found out that you have to enter the information for the sponsored person the file number (not the client ID number) who is in Pakistan his or her last name date of birth etc. that is how you will find out. I hope this information is to your satisfaction. (sponsored person address you would see on that site would disappear at the time chc is working on that file)

Check with file number using the information of the sponsored person and you will see the sponsored person's address as well as the date of file transfer. It is possible that the sponsored person's address is not there meaning they have opened your file to make notes etc.
