Does anyone have an idea of how long, until we receive further correspondence, after the date ecas started processing the application
 
Salaam,
Does anyone knows after the file has been transferred from Islamabad to London what would be the processing time.
Will it be the processing time of London(11 months) or Islamabad (32 months). I had also asked this matter before but nobody on the forum gave suitable answer. I would appreciate if some one is able to give the answer. Is there is anyone who has gone through this process and got ppr request .

I am waiting for 7 weeks! Let's see if LVO gets back to me by next week at least.

7 weeks?!?!? Man I'm about to lose my temper for you. This is completely unprofessional. Did you try to contact islamabad?
 
My wife gave her interview on 12th June. Interview went good and the LVO said that I am satisfied with your relationship but at that time he didnt receive her re-medical so thats why he said that as soon as we receive your medical we will ask you to send your passport by courier.

But today she got email from embassy in which they mentioned that "We have sent your file to London for the assessment".

Now i am really confuse about this entire scenario. If everything is done then why they have sent her file to London for the assessment ??

Is there anyone who have got such email from LVO after interview?

And our Ecas says "IN PROCESS" since 12th June.
 
Salaam everybody, How are you all doing?

I am concerned a little bit. I have a question: did I have to send my original wedding pictures? I just coloured photocopied them and wrote the details on the back side of every picture. Is this good enough?

Thank you :) :) :)

Hi,
I hane an enquiry my case was filled in Sep, 2012 and my wife got sponsorship approval in Nov, 2012 and they said file is transferred to CHC Islamabad. Then for further 18 months nothing was updated on mt ecas now Alhamdulilah on May, 30 , 2014 i have recieved an email from CHC London which stated that ,

Dear Applicant,

In order to continue processing your application, we require the additional documents listed below. Please send clear legible photocopies rather than the original documents unless otherwise specified. If the documents are not written in either English or French, please enclose a certified translation with a photocopy of the original document.

New Schedule A/Background Declaration form for yourself- No gaps in information, please, and dating back to when you were 18.

Original Police Certificates from Pakistan.

Medical examination. (Instructions will be sent in a separate email)

Client Information.

· Principal Applicants passport number and expiry date.

· Principal Applicants height and eye colour.

Please forward all requested documents together to the address below within 60 days from the date of this email. If we do not hear from you within that period, your application will be assessed on the basis of the information on file and your application may be refused. Please allow four months for us to review incoming correspondence. All documents submitted in support of your application are subject to verification with the issuing authority. Please do not contact us unless there are significant issues which need to be brought to our attention. Please quote your file number on all correspondence, including the envelope. Your file number is included in the subject field of this email.

Should your personal circumstances (address, marriage, divorce, birth, death, adoption) change between now and the time you leave for Canada you must report the changes to us. Visas issued without the correct information concerning family status are invalid and admission to Canada will be refused.

The issuance of an immigration visa does not ensure your eventual acceptance into the practice of your profession or occupation in Canada. It is your responsibility to determine whether any licensing/registration requirements apply to your occupation or profession in the province where you wish to settle. Do not leave employment, sell property or take any irrevocable step in anticipation of immigrating to Canada until you have received your visa(s).

We look forward to hearing from you within 60 days.

I have done with both Medical and PCC and sent the requested docs to CHC London which was received by Mr IAN on June 12, 2014. My question is that in how much time i will get PPR request and done with visa issuance.


Regards,
Omer Qureshi

got the same email on may 7, 2014. did remedial on may 12, 2014. sent everything may 21, 2014. received by LVO may 24, 2014 .. still waiting .......ecas in process since may 7 2014
 
There is not much to worry here.

The "In process" in ecas, is a good sign. That means your spouse has passed her eligibility stage. They probably just have to do their protocol (background/Security) checks.

Depending on VO some members would get PPR-1 right away after In process others got it few weeks down the road. (End of the day you will get it).

There was just probably some minor things pending. That being the reason why it was sent back to LVO.

kia kifayat shuaari hai..mashallah... :P

Here is the relevant section from the guide to help you:

For nationals of Pakistan:
• Approximately 15 to 20 printed photographs of you and your sponsor with relatives and friends.
Photos submitted should be comprised by the wedding ceremony (signing of the contract or
Nikkah) and customary celebrations held afterwards (the wedding reception or the Rukhsati in
Urdu). Photos should also include pictures taken of you and your sponsor together on other
occasions, for example, either before and/or after the wedding.


Note: Ensure that all photographs are clearly labelled in English or French with the names of the
persons appearing in the pictures, the date the photo was taken, and the occasion or event
displayed in the photo

Salam to all just wanted to pass along some info.

So seems like another mass transfer date of applications from Islamabad to London was on June 19th.
Seeing the comments from fellow members who are already in London processing, this seems as 'good news'.

In other news, now I understand why I haven't received my notes yet which I ordered OVER 46 days ago.
(ATIP replied to my followup email saying they have work overload, will send notes soon blah blah blah)
