Congratulations ahmadkhaled and Saeed.
A+M Congrats, happy for you & your kids. :-*
Thanks for the info abdullah.

Does any body know how long the delay is after paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF)? Because I paid when they ask me to; I didn't pay it earlier.
Thanks Bahar, I hope it'll be your turn soon.

Hi Bahpar, of course. As I mentioned, on last Tuesday, more than 180 applicants had gone to embassy and the 1st people on the line had gone there before 6:00 A.M. But on Wednesday, when I arrived there on 6:30 A.M only 2 applicants were in front of me. Till 8:10 we were totally 9 Iranian and the rest were foreigners. For your information, there are 2 lines and one is for Iranian and the other for other nations. I submitted my documents (according to PPR letter) and she asked me to come back on next day at 2 P.M and on the Thursday I got there on 1:30 and some minutes later they called my number and I received visa in less than 5 minutes waiting. Of course I do not have the experience of Monday and have no opinion. But on Wednesday it was not crowded and everything was in order.

Hello everybody,

My wife medical is going to be expired by the end of August. I have filed the application early October 2011, and based on the Ankara processing time I expect to be informed sometime in Septemebr for PPR. I was wondering if anyone knows what we have to do now? Do we have to redo the medical test or not? I am asking this question since I heard that the medical regulation has been changed and the applicant has not to repeat the medical test until the embassy asks for it.

I would be grateful if anyone let me know about that.

Thank you
NMBMM

so i was searching online and this is what i found...
2. How much time will I have to enter Canada after receiving my permanent resident visa??
You must enter Canada within the validity of your permanent resident visa. A permanent resident visa cannot be extended.
The validity of a permanent resident visa is connected to the date of expiry of the medical examination results as well as to the validity of the passport. The medical examination results are valid for one year from the date you had the examination.
The expiry date is clearly visible on the visa sticker.

just thought it to be interesting for those of us who have expired medical exams and are waiting for them to contact us...i dont want to prolong this process more than it needs to be...

technically he has to sign it because he has to give you permission in regards to you asking to seek information on his behalf...there are two forms you need to fill i believe

I'm so sorry Kazhal!! I forgot u asked me about it!! Crazy busy.... I will send you a pm with the attachments and everything u need! There is one piece of paper that your husband has to sign to give you permission to receive the notes. If he can print the page out in Iran and sign then fax to you that would work... I pm u shortly after my daughter falls asleep!!

but how long do u have till it expires? 1 month?6?
your medical / or your passport expiration , whichever comes first. So if your passport will expire 5 months from now and your medical is let's say 6 months . then the visa will expire in 5 months

it all depends on the visa officer handling your file, most people got their visas before the 14 month..while there are others that have been waiting for a lot more than that and have not heard much back, so i guess what im trying to say is its based on how complete ur file is and who handles it for you.. inshallah you'll hear good news soon.
