I completely agree with u! it doesn't make sense to wait 20, 22, 24,26 months for u to be with ur spouse again, some may say if u have a problem with the time then go to pakistan and live with ur spouse, but umm we kind of have our own responsibilities in canada, like i'm studying right now and if i leave to go live with my husband, OSAP won't fund me anymore and then i probably won't ever be able to finish my studies. And whatever happened to human rights?philantropist said:
sigh, all we can do is wait... which is getting tiring now, and i don't think you should worry too much about ur wife receiving any sort of letter any time soon, I blv all the people who had their file transferred in March are still waiting for responsesArkansas2045 said:Hey all, Add me to the list of lonely individuals waiting for their other and better halves to join them one day, Insh'Allah. I submitted my paperwork back in Februrary 2011.

I called the Hon. Minister's office yesterday and spoke with his special assistant. According to him, there are two primary reasons for delays in processing PR applications for spouses residing in Pak: i) Volume. Number of spousal sponsorship applications received by Islamabad office is fairly significant - more than what they can chew on; ii) delayed response from the Pak govt. office/dept. If the CAN embassy in Pak requests verification of a certain document, i.e. police certificate/clearance, the current response from the appropriate Pak dept. is very slow thus slowing down the application process. Don't know if I buy this, but oh well... He asked me if I wanted them to look into my wife's case specifically. I said no, because there are other Pak brothers and sisters in the same boat as I am, so if he can raise this issue with immigration minister that would be awesome! I have also requested the minister to ensure that CIC delivers on its commitment (as stated on their website) and assigns additional resources to the embassy in Pakistan so that individuals like myself can be united with their loved ones within a reasonable time frame.
Anywho, I do have a question. My wife has not received the AOR as yet. Should this be a cause of concern?

Welcome to the board. There are no more AORs issued by CHC-I, and they haven't issued any after October 2010 applications (as per this forum). If you have received a file # that starts with F####### or B######, then you can just wait for the process to complete...Arkansas2045 said:Hey all, Add me to the list of lonely individuals waiting for their other and better halves to join them one day, Insh'Allah.

islamabad-im-enquiry @ international.gc.caI certainly appreciate that you have talked about all Pakistanis and not just particularly about your case.Arkansas2045 said:Hey all, Add me to the list of lonely individuals waiting for their other and better halves to join them one day, Insh'Allah.

One of the members posted about the update he recieved from his MP that simple cases still take 6 to 8 months and next year CHC is gonna have more staff. I hope this speeds up the whole immigration process. It's so hard to live without your spouse. Getting married to someone, spending some best moments of your life with him or her and then person goes away. Some people can't visit their spouses as frequently as others are because they have other committments. This is so painful and put so much stress on your mind. Then people and their doubts here make your life more miserable by asking everyday about the status of visa. There is no single day when i have not been asked about my visa and every time i give same answer. it's in process.I hope they bring some change in the system so that our cases are processed faster.philantropist said:
Oh Sorry for depressing thoughts! InshAllah we'll be with our spouses very soon. I am sure if our canadian fellows approach relevant authourities in a right manner and convey our message that how this lengthy process is affecting our lives then something positive will happen.khushi humesha 100 said:
First Excuse : VOLUME : The volume is not even quarter as much as the volume at New Delhi office if you check on the data.gc.ca website for immigration data (EDIT I checked and its 2,000 applications for NON-ECONOMICS in ISLAMABAD vs 10,000 applications at New Delhi for NON ECONOMICS applications so 80% more applications at ND than ISB). The only thing they must have is the volume of staff working on the Islamabad location was probably decreased or even next to none. Also a lot of the work load for skilled workers etc was shifted over to London so it should have decreased the timeline not increase it.Arkansas2045 said:Hey all, Add me to the list of lonely individuals waiting for their other and better halves to join them one day, Insh'Allah.
