another news less day........

Actually not so newsless! Yesterday I decided to try something. I had my wife call the Canadian Embassy in Tehran (I would have done it myself by the time difference is just not conducive to business hours there), and found a contact who did some inquiring on her behalf in Damascus! For the first time we actually got an update, and it only took 1 day! He told her that her application is in que, however they are experiencing a lot of backlogs. Also because of the recent reduction in Internet quality and reliability (couple with power outages etc.) the embassy has had some difficulty replying to and sending out emails etc. Hang tight was the message she received.

This is much better than "wait till 10 months have passed" response we typically get!

OMG dont do it!!!!! Concervitive government want to make it a harder and longer process spasifically for those who are wanting to bring a spouse!!!! call your NDP or Liberal. The concervitives will make immigration so much harder if they can!!!!!

 

[Mr_MrsFakhr]

Hi everyone, sorry my very first post was a bit of a freak out lol but i have heard some bad things about what the Concervitive government want to do to our Immigration program (spasifically spouse/common law partener/....etc.) they want to stop issueing perminant residence visas all together. do a more extensive background check and then allow a non perminant "trial" entry. meaning the couples won't be out of the woods even after entry. the whole thing makes me nervous.

I have been reading posts here for a couple of weeks and I see you are all in very much the same boat. (no pun intended)

We applied in Sep 2010 approved as sponsor October 5th (i'll never forget the feeling of opening that letter omg) and our ecas says processing since November 22. Jan 20 we got an email asking for additional documents and sent those in on March 15. I emailed the embassy and got the auto reply last week. I emailed my local MP on monday and they called me today with news!!!!

My husband does not need an interview! The medical is valid until september so they wont be asking him for one. and we are looking at waiting about 60 more days (as long as nothing happens to close the embassy) <---- knock on woooood ;D

[Mr_MrsFakhr]

WELCOME!! I'll add you to the chart. It's very good news that you received today! If you're looking at about 60 days , my application should take about the same time since they started processing my file nov 22 as well .. but anyway in 60 days i ll already be in lebanon with my husband lool

THANKS!!!!! I was planning a trip to Lebanon too. the 3rd of June is our 1st annaversary and spending that appart super sucks!!! but he is trying to convince me to save the money the trip costs cause he will be here soon..... but in reality i'd spend twice that for just 5 minutes in his arms. I miss him so much
