Hi,
i applied for my family(wife) near June 2011 and just a weak ago, My wife received a letter from Canadian Embassy. They send the later on 12 Sept 2012 but on the letter date was mention 30 Augest 2012.
i have the following questions, please any one help me.
1) they mention that for future crospndense we should use the file number, but there is no file number in the letter we have only
UCI 12345678 and Aplication F000012345, there is also printed Paper File# but no number mention in front of it.So let me know which number i should use for future. OR i have to inform them about missing file number.
2) me and my wife also lived in saudia, while my stay in saudia Arab she visit two time and total stay in saudia is six and half month (6.5 months). her first stay was 4 month and second stay was 2 and half month (2.5 Month).
So they ask if applicatn stay in any country for six month then she has to submit police clerance cetrifacte from that country. Let me know either she should submit it or not becusase her stay was not 6 months in one stay.
3) they did not asked for the medical for my family. does she submit the medical by her self or wait for next call.
4) please let me know how much time it will take now. because it is already 16 months to my family case.
1: UCI is ur client id number, F000... is ur application/file number... so when u contact in future to ur overseas immigration office by email or mail or courier, make sure you send all this info so they know who is contacting them. hence provide, UCI# Application# Sponsor's name, Sponsors DOB, Sponsors Address, Applicant's Name, Applicant's DOB (date of birth)... once you provide all that, then start writing Dear Sir/Madam etc... all that info must be on top... so they can match the letter to the appropriate file and process it..
2) you can call the cic call center to confirm this stay issue in SA, and whether you will require the clearance certificate from there or not, however, if its very easily doable for you, then just go ahead and do it... but if your wife is not there, then talk to the call center or call/email your visa office ppl to see if you do or dont have to...
3) if you are only sponsoring you wife (no kids, or other family members) then you only provide with her medical... and if you had already done the medical when you sent your application then you must wait for their request of a re-medical if they want it to be re-done. But for police clearance certificate of Pakistan see if that has expired, then voluntarily get a new one and re-submit that... that you have to do on your own, dont wait on them to tell you to do it...
4) bro if your case is very straightforward with abundance of evidence to prove your marriage is genuine and filed correctly, then you are almost there, it shouldn't take anymore than 20 months...
if you are the applicant, which i am assuming you are, then i think due to your travel history it will go the distance of 26 months... I hope it gets done quickly for you, but this is a long game of sitting idle and displaying patience. best of luck.
