CHC, Islamabad Spouse Sponsorship Timeline 2011 -2012

[Arkansas2045]

Hi All,

I have baby after approval of my wife's sponsorship application. Baby was born two week after we received her visa from CHC.
Is it possible and what is now required to add new born to her application?
Do I have to go through baby sponsorship process now?

With approval they have sent one letter say that please report any changes to family before departing to Canada.
Please advise and share your thoughts!

You do have to go through the sponsorship process for your child as well. Generally the sponsorship process for newborns is pretty short. There really is no security/background/criminal checks etc. I would suggest you contact the embassy and ask for the proper procedures. I believe you can also request for TRP (Temproary Resident Permit) visa for your baby... Anyways, in my opinion you should contact embassy for further assistance.

Congratulations!!!

The date is generally printed on the top right hand corner... look at the cover letter that you received from CHC.

But I wouldn't worry about it. You should get your medical done as soon as possible and courier your passport to CHC immediately after.

Thank you so much for the reply. Actually there is no date on my letter. I think both the letter, Remedical and Passport are system generated. Can you help me one more thing. On passport letter, there is a table wherein we are supposed to write our family Name, Given Name, Date of Birth, Passport Number, Date of Expiry, Height, Eye Color against Applicant and Spouse and Dependents. I'm little confused in this. Am i supposed to enter only my details or my spouses detail's too. I think I should provide my information here since I'll be attaching only my passport here.

I will really appreciate if other members also can help me on this. Those who have already received must be having clear idea of this. Thanks.

Umm is that important??? all my discussions with my wife on skype have been in urdu using english letters (transliteration) - I'm sure the guys working in Islamabad are all urdu speaking right??

@fayzan

I read in another thread that some Filipino guy included translations of a few conversations (he did them himself). So just provide some of those. The VOs are usually goras and they don't know a lick of Urdu.

I wasn't aware...But anyone can translate anything to random stuff in English, and I sent 153 pages this time, and that too after I cut it down from 550. I sent it the same way with the initial application. I guess we'll find out what they think of it.

So far I've got AOR with some additional forms requested and Remed request separately...maybe this is good sign that they're ok with the proof I have sent right? otherwise why bother sending my wife remedical? they might as well make their decision and decline her for insufficient proof or something...

That was honestly the main form of communication. We did have some cell phone logs from the provider...but 90% of communication has been skype.

Thank you so much for your quick reply. I was wondering why these letters are undated. So i can go for medical first and then send my passport right? One more help i need from you if u can let me know, on passport request, they have given a table where i have put my details. They have listed spouse catagory also, should i mention here details of my husband or leave it because i am not sending his passport as he is already there in canada. Thanks

yeah exactly..u dont need to give any details of ur spouse.just fill in ur own details,send ur own pics.thats it...n send it through tcs or fedex.i sent by gerry's visa drop box(fedex)

Hi guys

I received a letter for re medical yesterday. It says to arrange for a medical examination, you must contact International Organization for Migration Canada Health Assessment Office at 051-111-466-472, and you should go under medical examination in next 30 days.

Q1. There is no date on the letter, what would be the deadline to get it done?

Q2. Do I have to call them on the given number or can I also go to the Doctor who initially did medical examination?

Q3. I didn’t get this paragraph
“TO ENSURE FASTER SERVICE WHEN YOUR FILE IS CONCLUDED, YOU SHOULD INCLUDE A PRE-PAID PRE-ADDRESSED RETURN COURIER ENVELOPE”. (I assume its computer generated letter and has got nothing to do with me)

Thanks

 

[fayzaan]

ur process will be done soon inshaAllah!
I know long distance relationship is difficult but dot wory u r not the only who is facing all this, its normal n everything will be ok when u two wilbe together inshaAllah

That is normal because i got additinal forms request and then remedical before i sent them their requested stuff... I hope next step wil be ppr inshaAllah

Thanks sabii bahi,

@yasirman,

as far as what I've read on this forum earlier, you cannot go to those other locations anymore, their new requirement is to go to the location indicated on the form. The deadline should be the 30 days from the date of the letter, I'm not sure why there is no date though...I got a date on the AOR on the top left indicating that's when it was sent.

@ Q3 I think you need to recheck that letter...maybe it is also asking you for Passport request, in which case they want prepaid return envelope to send it back to you once they got the visa stamp...

I am not 100% sure, maybe someone else can confirm.

Hi,

I hope you guys are absolutely persistent to wait for your spouse. I need help to find out the procedure of "mailing address change" in Pakistan.

I sent them email last month and they haven't responded nor changed online, However I got confirmation of my sent email from CHC-I.

your help is appreciated.

Firsl all of Congratulations.

Don't worry about the undated letters. Try to get the Re-medical done at your earliest. Call for DMP soon and try to get an early appointment.

Yeah right you can go for medical first. When you are done your re medical, just send re medical payment receipt, passport form filled and your passport with TCS.

On passport request, you don't need to fill out spouse information. All you need to fill out is applicant information which would be the person being sponsored.

Q1 - Well, do it as soon as possible. You really wouldn't want to care about the deadline in this case

Q2 - My wife contacted the doctor who did the initial medical examination for her. The letter from CHC to my wife stated that she had to contact a DMP within 30 days to schedule an appointment. I believe you can do the same, unless instructed otherwise in the letter from CHC?

Q3 - In our case, we were required to have prepaid the courier for the return of our documents. I believe it is the case for all the applicants. At the time of mailing out your passport, you can advise the courier office of this prepaid requirement. They will know what to do.

@ zainabanwar
Maybe for 2012 applicants or late 2011 they have changed coz I'm talking abt 2010 experience..it always had a picture on the letter with the Chc stamp..so maybe this tym they have changed n we 2010 ppl never went to IOM for this thng..only the designated doctors like I did it frm dr. Neelofar both times..initial ,Ed n re-med..so maybe nw they've changed the rules..bt this is wierd..they change rules within 2 months only..hmmmmmmm..well gud luck to both of u..

My husband got medical letter along with appendix with his picture on it
