For Afghan nationals, Canada doesn't have a legit embassy in Afghanistan. For whatever reasons that they may have. Thus, they have to go through islamabad. Islamabad however, has it's own problems, whereby they don't have a medical processing unit for Canada. Thereby, they have to rely on India. That is why our medicals have to go through new dehli. If for example, Afghans would like to get their process done via new dehli. New dehli will reject automatically. The reason being, it will increase timeline for india. Plus they will say that they already have bangladesh and they don't want afghans in the fold also. Which i think is a legit reason. Best bet for afghans is to convince canada to open an embassy for cic in kabul. End of story nothing will change were all stuck.
Can't AGREE more with you :) thank you and hope it happens!

I was born and raised in montreal quebec. It is a myth that applications going through quebec are processed faster. That is false. I also have applied for my wife and I haven't either heard anything either. Im a canadian citizen by birth. Its all luck, there is nothing that can be done. Its all in Allah hands.
this is exact the same case with me and i haven't heard anything too. it doesn't matter if you are applying in Quebec or outside Quebec. only Dec 2011 and Jan 2012 cases are pending :(. inshaaAllah we will here good news soon.

Well My friend's wife in Canada received letter from CHC-I to fill forms through regular mail at their Canadian Address

IMM0008ENU_2D
IMM5406E
IMM5669E
E33020 (For Afghan Nationals Pages)
IMM5490E
IMM5540E
also the RE-PCC plus the birth certificate of his canadian child
Photos of marriage
Call History
Telephone Bills
Money Transfer Receipts

but they didn't ask him for RPRF fee payment, now it is totally confusing, I don't know why there is no standard procedure for all of this

same here, dont worry you are not alone. files of Dec 2011 & Jan 2012 applicants were sent to Ottawa rather than Islamabad. they didn't do any thing for more than 1 year. i ordered GCMS notes in may 2013 and than i know my file was finally transferred to Islamabad in may 2013 but nothing has been done on it. i hope they will start processing our files in a couple of months InshaaAllah. lets hope for the best
Could u plz tell me what GCMS notes are and how to order them. Yes I know they didn't do anything in Ottawa,theytold my husband the processing time for Pakistanis is as per their visa office timeline not the Ottawa case processing time :-\ .
At the rate they are going its going to take forever! Plus I just saw the processing time has increased from 29 months to 31 months! When I applied it was 26 months. I'm guessing this s because of the strike going on since this June :-(

Well this sucks,the processing time has increased to 31 months and it was 26 months when I applied. How long since you applied for your wife? This ongoing strike is not helping much either!

Call the call centre and tell them what they are asking this way they can fix it from there. I have never heard this before after submitting the whole fee but nothing about CIC Islamabad surprises me.
Here is the toll free # but the one applying for sponsorship either husband or wife can call as they must be a Canadian Citizen to use this number ok. May Allah help us All In Sha Allah 1-888-242-2100 have client ID# when you use this ok. I pray you get to the bottom of this In Sha Allah
