Assalamu alaikum to all the brothers and sisters,
I would like to inform you regarding the one big issue of Dengue fever in pakistan. As everyone knows that it is a fever which have killed hundreds of people in Pakistan and none of us would like to see anything happened to our loved ones. and the worst problem right now is that we can't even visit back home because of seriousness of the problem.
This generates an idea that we all should consider a good diplomatic approach through internet to all the concerned authorities may cause them to make an exception to their tough rules which is already hurting everyone as to keeping us away from our loved ones and I think it is about time that we should start this campaign especially if the Government is not considering towards the good will of their own country citizens.
A series of coordinated activities, such as writing to our Pakistani local newspapers Urdu /English and the use of internet to write to all the authorities as well to achieve our objective.
If you would like to join or have any comments please let me know. May Allah make things easier for us. Ameen.

Hello,

Before posting anything here i have taken the time to get to know the members. I have read all the post's and all the 64 pages. Many of the members on here are very dedicated towards helping others and may Allah(swt) reward them for it. Some members love David uncle a bit too much and become jazbaati lolz. Three members really stand out and I got a lot of information from you guys.

1.) wes786 ----> u r awsome: pakistani always has a 786 somewhere in his/her name ;) (kidding) also congrats on ur wife's arrival i know it must be a huge "finalllllyyyyyy" lol
2.) Anso ------> she was aslovery helpful she does not come on the forum as much i noticed
3.) Danny4450 ----> u r just as helpful as wes786 hope all ur duas come true..

Now meri Kahani...lolz. I got married in Nov 2010. Full marriage with rukhsati of my wife and everything. ohh man wonderful times...after rukhsati we stayed in marriot karachi...khair...Filed papers to CPC-M in Jan 2011 and everything got approved and transferred to CHC-I Feb 8, 2011. CHC-I recieved my file Feb 17, 2011.

I also have a representative hired but only because i didn't want to fill out the forms. I gave him $300 and he did everything but he told me it takes the same amount of time and nikkah cases get rejected. Maybe David uncle has a mojeza or chamatkar...lol...khair...plus mail system is bad is karachi so all the correspondense will be done through the rep and he will de my work...that is why i paid him...not to make it faster or anything...even my rep told me...if i voluntarily send something its better...just like wes786 said...David uncle said other wise...maybe david uncle is right..and rest of the world is wrong...

I recently went to Pakistan to visit my wife on eid and we went to Turkey as well because after marriage I didn't have time for honeymoon as I had to get back to work. I took loads of pics and have all the docs ready which I will send. I was looking for some info here but I couldnt find it. At first I was scared that my wife could be preg but then everything was ok after everything was clear. Thank god.

I did some research on google and I found out that there was amendment in Citizenship Act in 2009. If the baby is born in Pakistan or whichever country. If one or both the parents are Canadian Citizen by birth or Naturalized (landed immigrant or permanent resident) then all you have to do is fill out a form called proof of citizenship and the baby will be canadian citizen right away. However, this will delay re-medical because x-rays can't be done during pregnancy. You can only have the medical done after delivery. And this is 9 months wait.
If you are a Permanent Resident and your wife gets pregnant...good luck man...9 months for re-medical of wife and then you have to apply for the baby as a dependent.
While she is pregnant build a good travel history like going to Malaysia, Turkey, UAE....this way visa office will give her visit visa so the delivery can be done here.

As far as CHC-I goes...according to study...most of the spouses who come from pak don't work hence don't contribute to the economy. Therefore no tax dollars for Mr. Harper. The excuse is "fake marriages". The spouses from India come here and they are working 2 weeks after their arrival and not just 1 job...2-3 jobs. The 3rd job is on the weekends. We are truly just tax machines and we get benefit after 72 now...used to be 65.

Another reason is the case of Quiet Storm...many in pak apply for visit visa first after their marriage and after they get rejected they just do nikkah and apply for spousal without enough supporting documents...toh banda shak nahi karay ga toh aur kya karay ga...

Hope this info will help some1 in need.

Hi

I believe its $1040.

Sponsorship application (per application) $75
Principal applicant $475
RPRF: acquisition of permanent resident status $490

You have to pay $550 before you send the application. You can pay the RPRF fee of $490 later but it usually causes a delay in the case. So its recommended to pay $1040 altogether before you send the application. You can pay it only or at a bank.

Thanks Danny.
I paid 550 before filing the papers i.e. in Jan, 2011 and decided to submit the remaining 490 along with re-meds. How could it delay the process?
