erinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa dont worry...seriously!!!! you have plenty of time....ur not even close to the one year land mark....be optimistic....obviously they have picked up the pace starting january....so just give them some time...and as hard as it is...the less we talk of it ...the more likely that it will happen)....(these are the methods of justification that i use for my self, fyi...we are getting close to 365 day since we sent out our application)

Merci Niloo... I dunno, sometimes I get upset and all, you know how stressful this whole process is.... Hun yours is coming soon I'm sure

 

[Erina]

Erina jaan, don't stress out...when it comes to Canada immigration, never compare ur case with anyone else...as you can see they treat each case differently....
Don worry...everything is fine...just don't think about it...I know it is hard...but that is the only way...

Thank you dear :-*

True, most people here get a request after 2,3 months max..... and what could have been done in 2,3 months?

Nothing Kazhal joon :'( :'( :'( Last night I was so stressed and upset.... They didn't even bother to reply back, just said we can't answer, please wait....

No Kazhal joon I'm not expecting PPR, this might be early for my case, all I was wondering about was this landing fee, since everyone is being requested for that really fast.

something totally offtopic...
you guys if you dont mind answering or me asking for that matter....
how old are you and your spouse...ie the age difference?.... do you think the age factor effects CIC's decision making?

Erina jaan, I still cannot figure it out why you are not going to pay the landing fee in advance. I know there might be an uncertainty whether your case will not face any kind of trouble in the middle, but usually there will be no complicated objection. thus, earlier you pay RPRF, lesser delay you'll probably have.
There is no certainty here in deed. Sepide was asked to pay RPRF despite she had paid it months ago. But you can be sure that whenever you are asked to pay it, that means at least a few months of further delay.

I actually do not think that their process model is such a complicated one that includes too many factors and variables. You may assume there are lots of them that may affect the process: the applicant's age, gender, education, job, etc. I, myself, am 35 and my wife is 32. Be an easy-thinker when you come to the immigration process. In our cases nationality is the first issue and then the background check.

i guess your right...btw for us Im 26 and my husband he is 28...cyrus just another random question since you are in vancouver....do you know of any flights suitable for travel from iran to here??? also do you think if he landed in Montreal first then flew to vancouver there would be a problem? any insight will be much appreciated...

There is nothing wrong with landing in Montreal, and then leaving it soon for Vancouver. The only things matter are:
1- his airport immigration process will be done in Montreal and it, as you know, may take a few hours. So be sure that the interval between landing in Montreal and the next flight to Vancouver is more than at least 3-4 hours.
2- he should provide the airport officer with your BC address and phone number. There is no necessity to have a Montreal address.
Lufthansa, BMI, and Qatar airways each have some sort of direct flight to Vancouver. If he is coming before April, KLM still is the best choice I guess.

i dont think age has any effect on results, we are like you niloo jon, i am 26 and my husband 28
guys on which page we talked about cargo and sending stuff ? this cargo is the same as freight ?? which is you can send your stuff around 2 weeks earlier with your ticket ? we did this last year, again my dad doesn't remember the price but if I am right if you have up to 100Kg, it's 2-3$ per Kilo, + the Rial part for Iran (i think the price changes now) . we packed everything ourselves in boxes, they came and took them to airport.

It is interesting question ;D ;D ;D
Im 38 and my husband is 35 ;D ;D it means he is younger than me but i m not worry about it as much as being approved my sponsorship ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D because we provide sufficient documents for long relationship we had. So I dont think difference of age is a big problem as long as u can prove that your relation is real.
Be relax and don't bother yourself with this matter!

 

[niloogoogooli]

Nazafrin joon im certain it doesnt matter which ever spose is younger or older just the net age difference...im just curious...most of us who have turned in to in process have passed the geniality portion... And as cyrus said its mostly our nationality thats elongating the process and hence the backgroud checks...but i just thought it would make us relate to eachother more thank u for ur response

Age, culture and education can be very important factors when it comes to assessing the genuineness of a relationship (for passing eligibility). In our case, these factors probably raised red flags, as my husband and I are coming from very different backgrounds (Quebecer vs Turkmen from Afghanistan), hence the required interview.
