I am back to Toronto. Houston's weather was so nice, I miss it :(. How is everyone?
 
The problem is the we Pakistani people don't have any unity and most are jealous people once they are here they don't want other to come. Tomorrow your case will be solved you will forget about it and won't help and this the case with almost everyone.

We can not count on our Pakistani government but what prevent us to get together and voice our concerns ? It is clear by the actual situation that there is some kind of discrimination going on towards Pakistanis. But as no one complains why it should be solved ? There are so many countries where there are so many fake marriages but why only Pakistanis are punished ? In India it take less then 10 months to get the immigration done and for us more then 2 years , the difference is huge to be justified. For spouse case there should be same duration for all countries.

How on earth they need +2 years just to verify the marriage is genuine. What about people who got kids, how the marriage is not genuine and have children ?

Indian population in Canada is far more then ours so they can not say that Pakistani people have more files, it is just not possible. we are less in number and our duration is 3 time more, that doesn't make any sense.

Yes that could be an option. We are a weak community here in Canada. However our Pakistani government isn't strong either. Our ministers just have no real say in the eyes of the world. If they did, wouldn't the drone attacks have stopped by now?. Hopefully, it changes in the upcoming elections for Pakistan InshAllah.

Hello!
I would like to share my timeline with you all!

Category........: FAM (husband case)
Visa Office......: CHC-ISL

additional Doc's Request.: 12-05-2012

ppr req- Nov 28 2012
ppr stamped + recieved -dec 18, 2012

I would also like to mention, that my husband lived in Saudi Arabia, And i went to visit him and stayed out of the country for 8 months. I recieved a lot of criticism here for doing that and was SUPER worried! People were saying things like how my case would get complicated by me leaving the country and all. But altogether the process took 18 months for me.. which I dont think is bad.. and leaving the country did not have a negative impact on my case. I just provided them with my return ticket. and a letter from my work stating that I will be returning, also filed my taxes and all and sent them pix from my stay here with the add. docs.
Over all, going to live in saudi was GREAT, i got to perform Hajj and loved the country lots of Halal food lol. Sooo GO VISIT your spouses if you can!!! :)
We also made sure we didnt annoy them and almost never emailed them.. just remained patient and waited. Never ordered GCMS notes. since my lawyer said its better not to since it might make them wonder why we keep ordering the notes.
Our lawyer helped us assemble our docs in the beginning.. but overall he was pretty useless if you can do it yourself then it just saves you $250
We also paid our fees when we applied.. My hubby went back to pak to get his meds done.. since it was seemed a little sketchy in riyadh, saudi arabia. the hospital didnt know what they were doing and we didnt wna take any risks what so ever

hmm thats all i can think of.. any other questions you can ask me! :)
good luck to you all!
Jazak'Allah for sharing your timeline from start to finish. We need more stories like this on the forum to give us hope.

i strongly beleive they want to discourage pakistani people migrating to canada. They are following the australian immigration model where they want their own required mix of ethnic origin. In reality there has been mega scams in india for marriage of convenience but indian community if strong enough in canada to protect their rights. we can jxt hope for the best that things get better for pakistanis in coming days.
Yes ur right they want 2 discourage us & we can pay the price to be Pakistani.
And our community in Canada doing nothing dere for their rights :'(

hubby chubby said:
This may be what might be required: (depending on VO)

1) Re-med
2) Latest police report
3) Pictures and contact info after marriage
4) Maybe another IMM form to fill

Around these lines...
Thnks

yes ur right but what we can do??
 
26 Months are way too much. You marriage becomes like an online affair you are on phone, you are on internet and your texting your own wife/husband? this is ridiculous. In such a long time even a genuine relation becomes shattered sometimes. I have seen cases in which husband and wife got bored of their relationship just cuz they couldn't spend much time together! and its a living fact that we all want to hangout, dine out with our husband/wife.
And on the other hand I have a daughter, I know how difficult it is that I am raising my child alone. She doesn't even remember much about her father now cuz its been 6 months now. And I was alone to celebrate my daughter's firtst tooth, first step, first word and I feel so sorry about it.

My husband is PR and he cannot come and live with us.
