Damascus/Spousal since Jan 2010 or late 2009

[kamal225]

hi rezan,
You can always listen to your lawyer but at the same time listen carefully to others and to your inside feelings,
No one knows when any of us will have his visa but GOD and of course visa officer only the day they stamp your visa, my lawyer told me total of 3 months and here we are still waiting. the letter from university will not affect the process it is a plus of your interest for a greater future for a new canadian, yes they need their time to process and do this and do that but the letter again in my opinion will not hurt, send it along with an inquiry and see what will happen and do this thru your lawyer. from our previous friends a total of 6 to 7 months damascus is taking from start date of in process so your admission date for university is very close to your visa issued time, count from 17 June, july aug sep oct nov dec, 17 jan is a total of 7 months inshalla you will be done by that time even before.

Good luck and hope to hear from them soon.

for yaya i am glad your find the original dont waste time just send them what they need
Anasser2056, welcome to our group dont be mad even if they have it sometimes they still request another questionaire at any point of the process to compare what you have submitted in the past dont be mad just give them what they need and good luck hopefully soon you will hear good news,
have a wonderful day everyone

Dear Rezan;
When I first applied my lawyer believed it will be only 3-4 months now I'm in the 8th months(7months since my application is in Damascus) and there is still no news.It's really hard to anticipate if you can be here by January, we all hope that you will receive your visa before that time. If I were you I will let the university send the letter it won't cause any harm to your case, although I am no sure if it is useful because I saw many women give birth and still the visa is not issued for the husband, but when you have the chance to send such a letter why not send it!!!Don't worry and be patient.Being anxious won't solve anything, try to relax and don't lose your hope .I really hope you hear from them very soon.

Dear Anasser
OMG, why are they like that!! they simply lost everything and they don't even let us know about it.I hope before your husband's medical expires he will be asked for his passport.When is the expiry?

Dear Kamal
You are right we are like brother and sisters and we can encourage each other, but I can't stand this waiting any more.About 2 months ago my lawyer was so sure that "Yes you will have it by the end of September or mid October".September passed, mid October passed and nothing happened I'm really praying to hear some good news for all of us

Ooooookkkk Friends,

A brief reply to my enquiry after 2 weeks!! :
"Dear ...:

Please be advised that status of your spouse's application has not changed since our last reply to you . Application is under review and you or your wife will be contacted shortly.

Regards"

As you see it's one of those "Robotic" messages. But I like their last word: "Shortly" !!
I wonder why they haven't advised concerning the Medicals?!! Because directly I asked about it in my enquiry! Do you have any suggestion dear friends? Do you think it's good idea for me to ask my wife to redo her medicals or not? We're tired of waiting and don't want to allow damascus people prolong our process for medicals!

 

[kamal225]

Hi Omid,
shortly is in the short term hopefully today or tomorrow or within few weeks
they will contact your shortly due to the medical expiry date and then you will not have too long for your visa to expire they will advise you to land shortly after visa is issued.

we are all stressed but we have to wait
have a great day everyone

 

[Omid.G]

Dear Kamal,

I hope so. Because more delay is not acceptable as medicals expiry is not our fault, it's because of their long processing time. If they ask for redo medicals, I will ask my wife to submit the results and physician's form in person at Damascus to avoid anymore delay.

I hope everyone receive their passport request very soon specially You, Jalalk, Anasser, Eli and Rezan who I feel their tough conditions.

Good luck friends.

guys i hope they dont ask us to do our medicals mine will expire on february i still have time though but again its taking them long to process our files and plus i need an authorization to return to canada application its a looong story and a sad one ,i believe when we do our medicals the doctor is not allowed to submit the results to the embassy directly he gives you a green paper that u send to the embassy and the doctor sends the results to paris,france where all medicals are processed if i am wrong correct me cuz that is what happened with me anyway ,i wish luck for everyone and congrats to all who got their visas.

Dear Rezan,



Can't you apply for study permit and get student visa from embassy in Tehran?

 

[rezan]

Dear Rezan,



Can't you apply for study permit and get student visa from embassy in Tehran?

Dear iman
Two parallel application means refusal probably for both !!!!!! for permanent resident application you have to show up that you're gonna live in canada but for the study permit you have to proof that you have enough reasons to leave canada after your study !!!!!!!!!
No way to get a visiting or study visa if you applied for permanent residency !!! Their regulations are funny !!
I think they need to revise them in many cases !
If you applied for permanent residency and at the same time admitted to university or want to visit one of your family member there wouldn't be any chance !!!

Exactly as mine ! My lawyer told me that it will take a maximum of 6 months !! now 6 months is passed !! I'll ask university to send the letter on 1 November... I hope at least it expedites my case a bit....
I really can't wait anymore
Beirut also accept applicant for spousal sponsorship from iran and it is much faster... I wish we had sent our files to beirut

 

[kamal225]

hi rezan,
i can see your pain feel your stress and imagine your feelings since we are all in the same situation
beirut process has to get back all files to damascus for final decision and or to complete paper work so dont regret nothing at this point it is where we cant go back and make changes every letter is issued from beirut has to pass by damascus so dont regret nothing and keep on praying inshallah soon they will have positive answer for you
I feel the pain my tears like a river
my tears like rain I miss my honey like never
all i have is sigh or I do is cry
cant sleep or think cant eat or drink
my heart is beating like a racing car
my mind is always on my loving star
cant be here and my mind is there
our lives are on hold that isnt fair
I cry you cry she cries he cries
all we need our visas to arrive
dear friends i just felt like putting some of our feelings in writing hope You will enjoy

Hi Guys,

Rezan: I am not sure if sending that letter from your university will help.. It might go against you actually. The officer might think that you are more interested in attending school rather than reuniting with your spouse. That might cause suspicision as to why you are going to Canada in the first place.

I also dont think that this will cause them to work any faster. I dont believe these guys like being pressured. They work on their own time, process and schedule as we all can see. I would discuss it with the lawyer once more before making a decision. That's just my thoughts.

Good luck to all and may this burden be behind us all very soon.

Actually me and my spouse are going to be classmate if I'll be there before january !! so there won't be any doubt that I am in rush because I want to be with her.... we use to be classmates in Iran, we want to have the same chance in canada,,, we can help each other a lot...
and I am not going to put them under pressure at all !! I will write a letter and ask them to expedite my case kindly !! do you think it won't affect their mind !? As a sense of humanities they should realise how willing we are to study together !

Kamal
Nice words,,, but keep strong,,, if you loose hope then your wife can't stand it any more... to myself although this wait is very difficult I am pretending that this is going to be finished soon when I am on the phone with my hubby... She sometimes cries , sometimes regret and sometimes just go mad,,,, It is very hard to see your loved one crying but she is going to be here in December ! ;D I am so happy about that

rezan
I think letter about your university will help a lot, I asked my lawyer and he said will not hurt too. if the CIC Officer is good he will understand and process faster.
My wife always cry in the phone too makes my tears as a river. and she ll come in DEC this is good for both of us. ;D

kamal225
I believe in all my heart you will be soon there, I do not know why but I think Damascus office will process most of the file in Dec.

Omid
they will not let you renew the medical exam, because they do not want a lot of paper work too. so I believe they will contact you soon to send the passport

For me

Truly they asked me to pay the Periment fee , I feel it is a good sine. and I read a lot it almost done. for this step. I do not know it could be their policy change and does not matter if you pay.

Lejordinin

Can you tell me Did you start your ACR because I have to do it too.

 

[eli1985]

Dear Kamal;
Very nice and touching words it shows your feeling.Rezan is right be strong and patient.The waiting will be over very soon.I hope they ask for the passport until end of October.

Dear Omid;
The reply didn't suggest anything new and as you said it is one of their robotic message.If I were you I will redo the medical and send it to them.Your wife's medical is expired and they will ask for it sooner or later so buy your time and do the medical again.All immigrants must have a valid medical when enters Canada.I will redo my medical in January because mine will be expired in February. It is really confusing we don't know what should we do and when we ask for application status they just forward the same message to everyone!! I hope in your case they are honest and contact you shortly.Fingers crossed

Dear Rezan;
You are so lucky guys that you can see each other at least in December. I am only 5 days off there is no chance that I can see him for the holiday

 

[Omid.G]

I will ask my wife to redo her medicals. But I don't know if applicants allowed to redo medicals without their request?
Do you know how long it takes for medical reports to go to Paris and come back to Damascus? when they say : "provide Copy 2 of the Medical Report Section A, given to you by your Designated Medical Practitioner (DMP)" in Appendix A of sponsorship applications(I mean that green paper we sent with our application last year) is it enough for them as MEDICALS RENEWAL EVIDENCE or they will wait until they receive any report from Paris, France?!!
What about Police Certificates? it expires like Medicals or it's valid now?
