I have never went through US and in any case I will always avoid going through US. They immigration officer always give hard time to Muslims and I have heard a lot of horror stories. Even a star like Shahrukh Khan (I don't like him but just an example of their extremism) got hard time last year when he went to US they kept him locked down for half day just because his name contain Khan. Indian high ministry had to get involved as SRK is very popular and powerful in India.

Just imagine what they do to regular people with color and especially when they are muslims.

In any case these Americans are cowboys and I have even read in these forum that they even give hard time to Candians (white guys) while crossing border.

My piece of advise avoid it if you can, don't try to take risk and get stress for saving some dollars. There are direct flight (or through other countries) to Pakistan from Canada.

well, based on what has been going on recently, you should get PPR within a week. My wife's status went 'in-process' on the 19th and then yesterday she got a letter for PPR.

thank you for reply. I have heard a lot of stories as well but they are only about men travelling in pairs or alone .. I wanted a woman's with hijab experience but I guess this is enough .. Ill take montreal then but the ticket is 1800$ even in off season

As Pardesifr said, I too will never fly via U.S.A. pay the extra and fly safe. I too have had to pay extra to fly via other routes. I remember last time I was getting offers for return flight via U.S. for $1250 or approx. $1700 via UK. I took the latter just to avoid trouble.

I am a female and I flew via US this December when going to visit my husband in Europe. I had a really BAD experience They searched me like crazy and made me miss my flight. I would never recommend it. I personally had no choice, because all flights from Canada were full and I had to go ASAP so I took the risk.
If you can do avoid it.
Good luck!

Congrats to all who have received updates on their files.

Wife has landed, the immigration was straight forward, too less than 20 minutes and that's with the Quebec immigration on top. No questions asked. Just have your paperwork together. Good luck.

Hoping now "In Process" changes to "Decision Made" Insha'Allah soon

 

[in love with my hubby]

I think at this stage it will not be a wise decision at all.Bcz u will be definitely hear something from them within next 2 to 3 months. If u receive Remed then u will definitely require Passport for remed . If u recv PPR+Remed then in that case u will need PP also. U should wait until any update from ottawa.

If it is inevitable for u to join ur husband than just apply for TRV . If u got Remed or PPR during that u would have to recall ur PP from CHC and in that case u have to withdraw ur TRV application.

Choice will be urs Sis.

thanx forreply
congatz to every one , now it seems that chc is serious in giving visas to us , by the way no case from ottawa has been finalized yet na?
