A developed country like Canada has no system. Seriously depressing!!! But atleast we can hope that moving the files might have a positive impact. Hope for the best n prepare for the worst!

 

[hubby chubby]

No they don't follow the due dates. I have seen many dates come and go...

The due dates mentioned on the GCMS notes, do they even follow them or just put them to give us false hopes?:/ this entire process is seriously nerve racking! They won't give us a visit visa so tht we can atleast go for some months n reside with our spouses, nor do they process our PR quickly so that we can actually start a proper married life. I really feel for all of you who are waiting since sooo many months to get through this! May Allah make it easy for all of us inshaAllah!!

Yea man London according to him should handle everything expect for ppr stamp.

How to confirm where a person's file is ?
Will London office be used to speed up the process or just a switch over from ISB [i.e will London handle everything from now on and nothing will be done in ISB except for visa stamping]

 

[kman]

Had to play cricket first bro.

Anyhow,

1) As we all know most files have been transfered to London.
2) London is in charge of doing initial processing. (eligibility, security, correspondance)
3) Visa will be stamped in CHC (the sending passport aboard myth out the window)
4) CHC-Islamabad don't know why files were sent to London, orders came from higher authority (even he didn't know why; workload was an excuse)
5) Files sent to London doesn't automatically mean its 11 months neither 32 months (he says as long as it takes VO to be satisfied)
6) Don't to go the embassy enquirying about your file, Canada won't tell you jack! (Canada privacy act, whatever that means)

Basically you pakistani, you screwed.

Bayien shayien v sun laya karo

Thats all that came out of his mouth.

Thanks bro!..

 

[hubby chubby]

He had absolutely no idea. But he said don't expect 11 or 32 (i said thanks for the info man i feel better)

Please ask them when would LVO start processing distributed cases....and what time line would they follow ?

 

[AW23]

Yes, but then again no one knows anything...

They just dont want to tell anything. Aaloo pathaaas working there.

He said within 20 working days so lets see (in sha Allah). Actually my gurantor was my aunt and by chance she was in pakistan for a wedding so took advantage.

Trip to CHC-Islamabad

Was basically told that CHC-Islamabad was open to "Canadian citizen" from 8:30 to 11:30, Monday to Thursday. Since the locations I was residing in was approx 2 hours away I had to hit GT road around 6:30-7 to make it in the time slot. 2 hours or so later I was at a shuttle service parking lot (since the enclave is a high octane security dome) only "authorised" vehicle can enter. Paid 20rps to park my ride and got searched by numerous guards. Walked into the ticket counter to purchase a shuttle ticket that hopefully would land me on the foot-steps of the Canadian embassy. On the counter a typical Pakistani middle-aged dude asked me where i was going and i said "Canadian embassy". He asked me for my "Canadian passport", after verifying I'm a Canadian he made me pay 200 rps for the shuttle. He signaled me to go the a counter where it said "deposit your cell phones" and obviously they took my cell. I, then walked through a 3rd security check and was made to sit in a steel cage with plastic seats installed to the concrete floor. There the shuttle would come and the cage door would open and people lined up to sit in the shuttle. If the shuttle was full and your turn didn't come you were made to sit again for next shuttle (which arrived every 10 mins or so). Then a low-standard shuttle with brick hard seats and metal bars on the windows would pick you up and take you to your destination. Before entering the diplomatic enclave, the shuttle was stopped at a police checkpoint where an individual would enter the bus and take a video of every person sitting inside. A pakistani beside me said a intersting thing, "hum apne ghar mein hi moujarim hain" (LOL). Then the trip started slowly the driver would stop at an embassy and yell its name (ex: Sir g Kanayda embassy or Sir g Amricka embassy) and people would jump off the bus accordingly. I, obviously jumped of at the CHC. Then the guards searched me 4th and 5th time before entering the compound. (Yes, they let me in). Was a nice compound, flowers, "maple leaves", water fountains ect. I was made to sit in the compound. There were many visa officers walking around some "canadian goray" others pakistani. They didn't seem to be doing much, just walking, talking and laughing and then i was called by a senior consultant visa officer. He checked my forms and what not (for lvp and ccc). Everything seemed ok. I asked some questions regarding spousal sponsership (he didn't tell me much but did notify me about a few things) and they escorted me back out to wait for the shuttle where i would eventually be returned to the car park.

*Will answers the questions of sponsorship soon* (what he told me)

You were in the Consulate part and not the part for Immigration to Canada. They have no water fountain nor flowers.

Yes, but then again no one knows anything...

But yar they are supposed to tell us things but if they dont have all the info then humko kon information dey ga?

 

[hubby chubby]

yes correct. I was in consulate area, the immigration part is the side gate. I had no reason to go into the immigration part. Only allowed to go in if they have interview.
