| Question | Answer |
| What is PPR? | PassPort Request. This is the final stage of the process in which the visa office asks the applicant to provide his/her passport in person or by carrier. |
| While waiting for my sponsorship application, can I apply for a tourist visa? | Yes, you can, but the chances are very low. Because it's hard to prove that you have strong ties to your home country, given the fact your spouse lives in Canada |
| While waiting for my sponsorship application, can I apply for a student visa? | Yes, you can, provided that you have an admission from a well-known canadian university, you should be able to get your visa, but you will still have to go back to your home country when your sponsorship visa is ready. otherwise it may take a while. |
| how can I contact the damascus visa office if I have a question? | email to damascus-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca (sometimes their mailbox is full, try again after a few hours) |
| my medical is expiring, what do you think I should do? | Normally you should wait until the officer asks for redoing the test, however, in our discussions, we came to the conclusion that it would not hurt to redo the medical test and have the receipt ready. If they issued the visa and did not ask for the new medical, you have lost only some $200 but if they want you will be at least 5 weeks ahead of the game. In short, it is recommended to redo your medical 2 or 3 weeks prior to the expiration. |
| is there any way to express our frustration to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada? | you may fill following survey by Sep 19, 2011 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/consultations/index.asp (here: http://cic.sondages-surveys.ca/s/immigration2/?l=eng) or you can sign a petition here: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Familyreunification |

I was thinking maybe these two are related and when the address bar came back you saw the change?! Am I going crazy and paranoid here?! Lol! lol and u r not paranoid @ all, it's normal to think that much and analyse every single detail when we have one purpose...haha! dear nath just remember that a "a watched pot never boils"! lol! just live your life as you never has this application going on. try keeping yourself as busy as you can.nath18 said:thanks vivi :-* even a virtual hug helped me
