Hi hope evry1 is doing good i found many form members are v helpful in different matters i have a question if any1 can also help me?
as i said i've done my remed and passport on 19th july and i didn't received my pp back with visa yet but my passport will expire on 26th feb 2013 so it might be possible they give me limited validity of visa or very short time to travel to Canada ... any idea??
Yes, you will be required to travel to Canada before your passport expiry date... it is usually passport expiry date or medical expiry date, whichever comes first.

Certain countries do require that there should be at least six months remaining in the expiry of the passport or they will not let you stop over. UAE does have that restriction. In October 2010 when I was booking my ticket through Emirates, they refused to give me a ticket because my passport was expiring in February 2011 and thus there were less than six months remaining in the expiry of my passport. So I had to renew my passport in order to travel through Dubai. Not sure if any other member has had similar experience...

Just looking for a suggestion.... I'm sponsoring my wife, my file got transferred in dec 2011. At the time I sent a pretty thorough package including pics, emails, phone bills, pictures, western union etc.... Should I send another small package of updated phone bills, western Union? Or do I just wait it out?

Thanks in advance for your help....
Depends on the school of thought :) Some members will suggest that you voluntarily submit additional documents to CHC Islamabad and some will advise you to wait for further instructions from CHC... I incline more towards the latter view. Do it right the first time so that you don't stress over the process in the future. I did not voluntarily submit any documents and kept my communication with CHC to a minimum. Anyways, it is your call at the end of the day.

Instead of the hassle of getting a new pp, it's better to take a direct flight.

By what you say, it seems that you were sent a letter on 14th august, but that never reached you. If that is the case, you should contact CHC-I ASAP, and tell them about the situation.

Stay calm, and rest assured that whatever happens, happens for a good reason. Did you try calling CHC to inform them about your problem?
