Cheer up guys..... yes it is very hard and unfair but we are alive and healthy!! I have friends who's spouses have passes away..... they will NEVER get the chance to see their spouse again.... we will get to see ours. The more positive vibes we send to Damascus the more positive we'll see from them ;) being upset only makes it harder on ourselves and our spouses. And the new law that's coming doesn't change anything. it only gives them the power to deport people who have marriage of convenience. This is a GOOD thing..... it will help get rid of the frauds and eventually speed up process for us genuine people! You have to see the positives in life or what's the point in being alive ;) ;D :D :) ;)
yeeeeeeees A+M is soo right :) cheer up!!! we need to start the year in positive note :) and guys, really, from what i see from other embassies and other members, Damascus is one of the good and fast ones - look at Abu-Dhabi, Singapore, Islamabad, most of Central and South America, Africa; how does those people feel, their situation is the same; why do they have to wait for so much longer; the whole system is not fair but u need to see the good side :) also, yes unfortunately the situation in Syria is as it is but Damascus is still safe, they r still working and they would call any of u for interview or to pick up the passport if it wasn't safe...and of course the most important is the good health, for the rest, the good things will come sooner or later....

cheers!!!

What's this new law you are talking about? I read the article but I'm not sure what it means, is it only like they'll deport anyone with fraud/ arrange marriage or is there anything else?

Hi Erina-
it's not in effect yet but they are proposing that all spouses receive a conditional PR. it will be conditional for 2 years. They have said that couple can still "break up" within those 2 years as it does sometimes happen but if it is suspected/proven that the marriage was used to get into Canada then the sponsored spouse will be deported. the just of it is is your marriage is legitimate it does not affect you. It's just to be able to "punish" those that abuse the system. Unfortunately there are people that get married then come to Canada and don't ever live their spouse. They get a "free ride" into Canada, with this new law these people will be deported. it's actually a good thing. A few other countries already follow this.

by now i guess i got used to the waiting, i mean at least now i'm a bit happy because it shows that they are working on my file. just last week i looked at e-case and it said "Medical Results Have Been Received" and they asked for some documents a couple of days ago as well. i guess what really matters to us now is the end results, i mean it should be deserved after waiting all this time.

inshallah we will all be with our spouses one day and remember these times.

Hi wxzy:)
I am sponsoring my husband from Iran;) He is redoing the Medical tomorrow without being asked. our application was received in April... nothing yet. Your husband should have a file number from his sponsorship approval letter. You can use this. I talked to immigration and asked the same question. they said to use this one. or you can email Damascus and ask for the "b" file number. I was told that either number with link to your application. Good luck- I hope you hear news soon:)

Your welcome;)

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/syria-syrie/visas/contact_visa_contactez.aspx

This us the email listed on the embassy website. They have 2 emails but it says the other one is for cases that are passed the processing time (13 mths). I have never sent an email so someone else on here might know better than I, somebody correct me if I'm wrong! I know I've heard people say they have to email a few times if it doesn't go through... seems their inbox gets full. Hope that helps!
