I wouldn't really say it's other peoples conversation even tho maybe you were addressing yourself to a certain person, if you don't want people to invite themselves into your conversation and state their opinion than just send a message in the persons inbox.. that will save all the misunderstanding and drama.

Posting a message on the forum publicly to whomever it may concern you will get replies from all over lol

Didn't you read the fine prints ? :p
yeah you are absolutely right gem, it was my mistake, i should have sent a message, i was dumb enough to use QUOTE, but yeah you are def right it was my fault,
i apologize ;D
and no its not sarcasm im really apologizing lol, i know its impossible to read a message and decide if its sarcasm or not haha

your not even there for one week and you show off saying stuff that doesn't match at all ..ur time zone is not even close to damascus and you tell stories that anyone can get from any news Chanel or website, before you say lies keep ur story straight and yes u should apologize not to me and Mrs bou only but for all the forum followers.
well Mr sohrab if thats what entertains you well sorry that it doesn't for us and repeating whats the headline news and forgetting that most of us are living in the Middle east well.nobody is ganging up on you rather you are the one who is taking it so personal and insulting our intelligence in all cases this is a peaceful forum and nobody is stopping freedom of speech opinion or information just respect others when they share theirs.
lastly nobody is a child in this forum we are all old enough, you don't have the right to judge any of us.

nairy was just respecting others feelings and giving her opinion as we do ;D

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. ~Mark Twain
by the way mr bou since you are so good at copy pasting things, find a post where i said CHILD

TRV while sponsorship app is processed

Hello everyone,

I am a canadian citizen living in mississauga. I got married in syria and applied for spouse sponsorship.
I have read few pages in this forum but no one ever mentionned a TRV for the spouse.
I want my wife to come visit me in Canada while her sponsorship app is being processed.
The only way seems to get her a temporary resident visa ( tourist visa ).
anyone have had any experience with such a visa while the sponsorship app is in process ? any help is appreciated.

background:
met my wife while i was on vacation in syria around feb 2010. she became my fiancee and i came back to Canada.
In August 2010 I have made an app for a TRV for her, and they advised her to withdraw the app until she brings proof of marriage to proove the merit of the TRV.
In October 2010 went back to syria for 3weeks, married my wife and went with her to the Ambassy with a TRV app and the proof of marriage. it was declined saying i did not apply for sponsorship.
In April 2011 i sent my sponsorship app.
May 18 received confirmation of sponsor approval. No news since then.
On the website it says Damascus received my app on june 4 2011. nothing else.
Am i supposed to get any other correspondance, i havent heard a word from them.
It was 8 months processing time when i applied, then 9 then 10 and now 13 months !! this is just insane, how they expect new couples to be seperated for so long ?!

anyway i sent faxes to both ottawa and Ambassy in damascus to inquire bout a TRV. no answer !!
they dont even have th e cuortesy to give me information if i can apply for TRV, i dont want my wife to go apply and get denied again, not to mention the situation in syria im scared for her safety and its this wait is very harsh on both of us.

So anyone knows the law, or any gov agency that can help or give me answers ? if i can do nothing bout the processing time, at least i wana be able to see my wife by her coming here on a TRV.

Thank you

Good morning everyone!

I see that there has been a few problems here...why don't we all stay positive ;D
I know it's Friday and the embassy is closed today and tomorrow, but let's just forget about what people have said and look towards the future. No more finger-pointing and he said she said. Deal? Let's just get back to what this forum is about...helping others and waiting for good news!

Hello mailbox and welcome to the forum
The information that I'm giving you is based on what I have read in this forum:
For what I learned it is very unlikely that VO issues TRV for the person whose sponsorship application is currently being processed.
On the other hand since you are a Canadian citizen you have no obligation to be in Canada during the processing time so you can go visit your wife for as long as you want.
If you decided to move to Syria for a long period , you must prepare a proof that you intend to come back to Canada with your wife after the sponsorship application approved.

P.S. There has been few TRV success stories on this forum as well, but I am not sure under what circumstances it was issued.

Stay positive and hope you reunited with your wife soon

Hey Mailbox

you are welcome to the forum :)

i got married in syria as well my file has been in process in syria since may 2011, the online ecas does not provide information so its pointless to sit and stare at it mine still says application received , unfortunetly they do expect us to wait that long and as someone already meantionned it to u on this forum , as a canadian u can visit ur wife if u wish too , the embassy will not send u any e mails until they require something from you ...My husband has applied for a visitor visa, our spouses are allowed to but the chances based on what i hear and experienced are slim to none specifically from syria as my husband has been told ...to get a visitor visa u need to prove you will return to syria and based on the situation there and the fact that his spouse (me ) is here in canada it says he will not return to syria even if he advises he will so his visitor visa was denied :( ...i guess all u can do is wait and maybe go visit ur wife and hope the processing time for ur file goes a bit faster then the 13 months period ..its a case by case some people have gotten it at 9 and 10 months and some at 13 and 15 ...so it all depends .

i hope this was helpfull
have a good week end everyone and smile life will be brighter!
