Assalam-o-Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

Just to give you all a heads up, if you are planning to fill out Sponsorship application for your spouse, or have recently received request to resend IMM forms, print the updated forms(07/2011) or else you will get the old ones back and will be asked to refill the new ones.
Seems like they have updated all the forms in July 2011. I hope all of us in process don't have to refill them again

Dont Say this please.i pray new documents will be just for new immegrants Not for us....

Welcome to the Forum

Right now they are working on Jun/July/Aug 2010 Files. You would probably hear from them for Re-PCC and updates on Supp form in Sept or so hopefully.

Mrkkhan I have the same timeline as yours and I have not heard anything from islamabad yet. I believe that it would be at least couple of months before we hear anything from these guys.

 

[Mrkkhan]

Thanks for the replys Iftikhar and danny...

Normally the files open after 7-9 months for initial review, so it is a good idea to send them extra updated supporting documents so when they open your file for paper screening they know that there are enough proofs to say whether the relationship is genuine or not. So definately a good idea to send the documents including her tickets, boarding passes, passport stamps, updated call history, emails etc...

Dear Mrkkhan, Please remember that not only you should send the proof of your wife visited you including Copy of airline ticket, boarding pass & the copy of the stamp she received on her passport showing that she had travelled, plus send pictures if taken while you were together with your family and relatives so it would show that the marriage is legit. P.s. Always send them the proof of your email and or phone communication etc whatever applies in this case. May Allah help us all. Ameen.

CPC-M received application on May 9, 2011.

CPC -M started processing on June 8, 2011 and sent a letter on June 8, 2011

Application for permanent residence was received to CHC Islamabad on June 17, 2011.

I was happy to see such faster completion of one of the three steps of spousal immigration which are being mentioned in the immigrant guide and was thinking to get it soon.

Regarding timeline, I came to know through this forum that its been taking horrific long time to complete other 2 steps!!!
But why???


People are literally crying on this forum.
And I can well understand that without a spouse how one feels like

I wana wish everyone here a very good luck.
Lets hope for best guys.

 

[wes786]

Why? because we are Pakistanis, and we have lost all our reputation that we have had in the past thats just one bitter truth. Which is why the timelines have gone from being 6 months to 23 months now. I applied for my wife in January 2010 and yet still waiting for her VISA, some people got theirs after 30 months some are still waiting even after 45 months. However, we have also seen processes get done in 12-13 months timeline, very random and unpredictable. So lets hope it all works out for you and the rest of us at the end.

Just the way Wes786 explained: I believe the same as being Pakistani is to be at a disadvantage.

Aoa, dear all!

today i need help regarding my son's birth registration process in canada ........as my problem is not specifically connected to sponsorship for this but somehow his(our son) father's immigration status has been involved so therefore i have jotted down few queries and would appreciate if any one according to their own experience or observation would advice me on this matter.

As we all are sailing in a same boat and our spouse's applications are under process, i need to know if a person like me who has recently given birth to a baby would like to register a cihld's birth thru service ontario via internet and want to include the father's particulars on my son's birth certificate without having him here, so is it possible????? as there is no such information or option given on the website regarding this matter.Do i have to attach supporting documents of his father's immigration process to get the required birth certificate???

Also does the copy of birth certificate if send to Islamabad office will make the process run faster as an attempt of reunion of family???
Is it better to add father's particular on the birth registartion form or should I apply for birth registration solely on my consent and particulars....whats the best choice?????

Plz help..as i am a total novoice in this and i don't know how to begin with :-[..Any suggestions or information would be highly appreciated and i will be looking forward for the replies.

Thanks in advance

I just signed up for this forum, as it has started to kick in that it will be a long time before my wife gets her immigration

Her file was received in April/2011, All I can do now is think of ways to speed up the process with updates. I have a few question I was hoping to get answered:

1) Can you have the medical resubmitted before they ask for one? - I figure there is a lag after they get the results. If I time it for say 10 months after my application arrived in ISB (Time they are opening files for review). This would mean may have it done in January 2012 or so.

2) If they do ask for resubmissions for documents/medical they will mail the applicant in Pakistan, correct? just wanted to make sure

3) Also I filed before the new forms came out - will they ask me to resubmit the new forms - I am asking because if this is true then I would do this now - in order to reduce lag time.

4) Also, is it worth talking to your MP, this early in process.

5) Is there anything else I can do to reduce lag time. I figure I want to send updates for my application in October or so for gifts I bought her, emails and phone time logs.

PS: If anyone voted Conservative, or did not vote against them is not my friend. Also if you know anyone filing applications make sure you advise them to get proper assistance. Part of the reason why its taking so long is the applications that are being sent in could have been done better. People trying to save $1,500 or just over one lakh ruppees. Sheesh and we are suffering.

No, You can't submit a Re-medical unless they request for it. Infact DMP won't do your Re-medical unless they see a request letter from the embassy. People who somehow got it done before the request letter was sent out had to redo them. The results for the Re-medical go to Dehli directly from your Docs office.

2) If they do ask for resubmissions for documents/medical they will mail the applicant in Pakistan, correct? just wanted to make sure
They will send these requests directly to the person being sponsored in Pakistan unless there is representative of that person (If you hired a lawyer and signed the use of representative form, in that case the requests will go to the representative)

3) Also I filed before the new forms came out - will they ask me to resubmit the new forms - I am asking because if this is true then I would do this now - in order to reduce lag time.
No, they won't ask you to resubmit new forms as the old forms could be used till March 31, 2012. They will ask you to fill out some forms when they open the file after 8-10 months of the file transfer. They will definitely ask you to fill out the supp forms and might ask you to fill out some new forms if you made any mistakes in the ones that you submit with the original application.

4) Also, is it worth talking to your MP, this early in process.
I don't think the MP would be able to do anything unless the case passes the original timeline which is 24 months right now.

5) Is there anything else I can do to reduce lag time. I figure I want to send updates for my application in October or so for gifts I bought her, emails and phone time logs.
It is always better to send proof of contact so they are staisfied that your relationship is genuine. I would suggest you to send it to them 6 months after your file transfer date, this way they would be attached to your file before its opened for initial review.

PS: If anyone voted Conservative, or did not vote against them is not my friend. Also if you know anyone filing applications make sure you advise them to get proper assistance. Part of the reason why its taking so long is the applications that are being sent in could have been done better. People trying to save $1,500 or just over one lakh ruppees.

Welcome to the forum

Thanks for your response Danny4450. I just realized I have my lawyer as a representative for my sponsored wife. If they mail correspondences from Islamabad to Canada wont that add to the lag time. Is it better that I have mail go to my wife and then consult with lawyer.

Thanks again for your kind help.
