Hi Bro, hope all is well with family and love once, first the time line that you have been told by call center PPL is wrong all the Pak and Afghan National cases is processed in CHC Islamabad for the final stage (PR) following the CHC Islamabad time line which is 28 Months by Immigration published timeline on their website, basically what is happening that sample straight forward cases after the first review by CPC Mississauga upon approval will be sent out to CPPO- Ottawa the physical file stays at Ottawa and scan image of all forms with supporting documents will be stored in (GCMS ) e Storage Immigration server to be available to immigration officer in CHC – ISBD, the final decision of your ( PR ) comes from the CHC – ISBD or another word the Imm officer in CHC – ISBD has the final say on your (PR) the CPPO – Ottawa just facilitate the process for Pak and Afghan National for CHC – ISBD, now in the option 2, cases that are complex and need the local expertise it will be transfer directly to CHC- ISBD for further investigation and processing and also appeal cases after the positive decision following by CBSA. So simply the Pak and Afghan National cases, family class ( Spouse ) can take up anywhere from 6 to 28 Months to finalize, some complex cases where the marriage is not genuine may take up even longer, doesn't matter which way they go CPPO – Ottawa or directly to CHC – ISBD, the 13 Month time is for North American basically US cases and as far as the TRV for Pak and Afghan National is harder than immigration the only thing is that the time span is 2 to 3 month to get the answer, Mine was refused in 48 hours as soon as they receive it, it was TRV for my wife and we both employed and it was perfect, you name it I did it, I don't want to be negative but don't count on it, it's like winning the lottery, try it if you want it. Good luck and God bless every one; my prayers are with all of you. Regards, CVIMM

Hi there! So if you on this link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp

You will see that Islamabad processing time for files has now changed to 29 months. It used to be 28 months but has now increased by a month. From what I know, that is for all files that have been filed or are in process, meaning 29 months is the average amount of time it is taking for files to be processed and completed.

don't lose hope no matter what. If all your documents were there you have every reason to hope and expect less time. At least not 29 months :(

see , i posted this question before and 'reflectoman' replied this:

its not really an average, but here is more how it works in simple terms,

you have 10 applicants, and they finish their case processign as follows,

APP01 = 8 months
--------------------------10% of cases completed-------------------
APP02 = 15 months
APP03 = 16 months
APP04 = 16 months
APP05 = 17 months
--------------------------50% of cases completed-------------------
APP06 = 20 months
APP07 = 25 months
APP08 = 28 months
--------------------------80% of cases completed-------------------
APP09 = 30 months
APP10 = 38 months

so if you look at the processing times, then 10% (1 on 10) finished in 8 months, 50% finished in 17 months (5 applications done out of 10) and 80% done in 28 months (8 out of 10). There will always be cases that are more complicated thus the last applicant, so that is why the case processing time is not listed in 100% of applicants, but 80% (which someone has considered to be the appropriate reporting percentage).


so don't worry about it! It doesn't really mean 29 months average for one application, but 29 months to process 80% of applications.

so 80% of Applications are processed within 29 months but some may take more :)

this explanation is also on their site (less detailed though)

keep praying and Hoping. God has a plan for all of us, so don't worry.

You are very right and glad you share this
one more thing that i'd like to add is PLease don't discuss this on daily basis 'coz now you are in the boat you have to cross all sorts of storm
the more you discuss more you get depress
the best thing is just keep your self away if some has good news do share . but dont discuss that how much depressing is this.
keep praying and trust Allah. As Allah has only decided the time for us and before or after we can't evenTake a step
Allah bless you all, Good luck, Enjoy each and every day . you all will surely miss these time too.
