| 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. same applies for police clearance |
| 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 |
| What is RQ | it stands for Residency Questionnaire. it's a stupid process which is exclusive to Damascus office. They want to make sure if you are still residing in Canada. |
| how can i join this forum? | provide your detailed information in a posting under this thread, a volunteer will append your info to the list. everyone in this forum is obliged to inform everybody about any updates about their spouse sponsorship applications in Damascus. Damascus office is still active more or less and it is not closed due to the situation in Syria yet. processing time provided by the cic are not accurate at all. when it was 10 months, we had quite a few people who got their ppr in less than 6 months. check out the chart for more info. |
