CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011 -2012

[cv4spo]

Hello All,

I've been reading comments on this forum from members who applied 2009, 2010, 2011 etc. and we are all PISSED...understandably. I'm hoping we all married our spouses with full knowledge of the hurdles of immigration and maybe some understanding of the sacrifices but no one can truly know until well into the process. We all have our complaints, some with the amount of time, some with the process but I think all of us can agree that the lack of communication is a big issue. I know a few others who went through same for India or China and I don't think the process is that bad there...meaning CHC-I has a problem with communication in particular. You can fax or email which is a hit or miss, can't call the call center as they deal with Canada cases only and ATIP takes a month! Of course I'm saying what we all know.

Some of us have individually complained or went to our MP or signed petitions, all with good intentions but I think its time that if not for our own good, the good of future applicants at least...we do something more effective. I'm not even decided yet on what...but something formal and proper...something that would get noticed...I want Canadians to hear our story. Because lets be honest...what does the average Canadian think? Well nothing, who cares about this...how many of us gave a damn before our own husbands and wives were stuck in this system? But even if a Canadian thinks...they think oh immigrants! Their lucky...come here quick and all comforts. I want to tell how difficult it is, the emotional impact, the toll on our relationships and that we pay for all this! This isn't welfare or anything....we paid over a thousand dollars...and would pay way more if it meant faster and more humane service. So I ask some of you come up with bold ideas and perhaps PM me....I don't want another petition but rather want to tell the story to Canadians...maybe we can tell the story of 10-20 of us? Maybe an open letter to all MP's? Maybe contact the media...but has to be as a group...coast to coast and we need to make us more than a number.

So please let me know through PM if you can do more than a bit of ranting...it will take time, we all have jobs etc. but I want to put together something that will work.

Thanks

That is absurd. They are not some low level courier service, they should be able to tell you where your package is within minutes. Get your money back. It's not about the amount, it's about the promise they made to deliver your package. They didn't fulfill it in timely manner. Call, complain to head office. I know it sounds overboard but this is very important.

yes and it was urgent because my 45 days time limit is about to end.. i dont know what to do. i am trying to call from here (\canada) but i dont know what code should i use before their UAN #111123456?

[alisbah]

[syedgj]

is this rejection during step 1 (sponsor evaluation) or step 2 (applicant evaluation) ??

last week a memers case was rejected because "THE SPOUSE WAS NOT RESIDING IN CANADA)

THE MEMEBER IS DOOST HAVE A LOOK

this is what was wriiten on the letter he got

Your sponsor, who is a Canadian citizen, currently does not reside in Canada and I am not satisfied, based on the information provided on your application and your response that she will reside in Canada should you be granted permanent residency. Your sponsor does not, therefore, meet the requirements of subsection 130(2) of the Regulations and as a result, you do not meet the requirements of section 120 of the IRPR.
Section 41(a) of the IRPA states that a person is inadmissible for failing to comply with this Act in the case of a foreign national, through an act or omission which contravenes, directly or indirectly, a provision of this Act; and
Subsection 11(1) of the Act provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. Subsection 2(1) specifies that unless otherwise indicated, references in the Act to "this Act" include regulations made under it. For the reasons set out above, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act. I am therefore refusing your application.

LESSONS LEARNT

• My file was reviewed by the Immigration officer exactly 1 year after it was received at the CHC ISB from Mississauga.
• During the processing of immigration application, I applied for study permit in November 2011 which was refused in May 2011. I re-applied for study permit in May 2011 and the decision was never made on that application. I finally had to withdraw my study permit application as soon as I received a PPR for immigration application.
• I went to MP numerous times and they did not help whatsoever in expediting the process but they do help in finding the status of application and that's about it. Don't expect them to help expedite your application. They will NEVER do that. The only time an MP will intervene when it's a “life and Death” situation.
• MPs (or their staff) can obtain the status of immigration applications from CiC's Ministerial Enquiry Division (MED) in Ottawa. Every note that a Visa Officer enter on your file is accessible in Ottawa.
• The embassy takes 3-4 weeks to attach the documents to your file after you submit them. They review the documents when the Bring Forward Date arrives.
• The Bring Forward date is exactly the same as the number of days given to you in the letter from the embassy to send documentation. For example if you receive a letter from embassy with a date August 1 and the embassy gives you 30 days to respond then your Bring Forward date would be Sept 1.
• DO NOT use Designated Medical Professional (DMP) Dr. Arif Mehmood Siddiqui based in Lahore. His staff is rude, lazy, and highly unprofessional. They take 3-4 weeks to send the medical results to New Delhi which slows down the whole process at a very critical time.
• Make sure you don't leave any gaps in personal history section of Schedule A/background declaration form.
• Had I not made a mistake on the Schedule A form and received a request for further pics for Rukhsati, I would have had my application processed within 15 months. Thus it implies that any request for further proof of relationship or other documents can add up many months to the application process. So be careful and make sure complete marriage proofs are provided to the embassy and don't make any mistake on application forms.
• This was initially Nikkah only case but Rukhsati was done before the request of further evidence came from CHC ISB. So i did not get any objection but I was asked to provide further proofs and I had the documentation ready to send as soon as the request came through but it did delay the process by at least 3 months.
• This has been the most painful period of my life but it passed. Thanks Allah. We are now getting reunited which is the best part of my life. My prayers are with those who are still waiting. My advice is just to be patient and keep yourself busy in your daily life. Do not discuss the visa issues with your spouse too much as it causes frustration, and can negatively impact your relationship as you are already having a long distance relationship. Time is the main factor in the whole process, but it passes.
