Dear Friends, Brothers & Sisters,
I'm Syrian residing in Dubai my wife is Canadian lives in Vancouver
the lawyer advised me to put Damascus as my immigration office
We are quite confused about oure case since we've applied on May 18, 2011
then the sponsorship application got approved on June 21, 2011.
in the sponsorship approval letter they've wrote
Due to the recent situation in Syria, your relative’s application will not be sent to the visa office in
Damascus at this time. Instead, their file has been temporarily diverted to the case processing office in Ottawa, Canada,
on the CIC online client application status they put
( We received XYZ's application for permanent residence on July 4, 2011. We started processing your application on July 28, 2011.)
then shortly after that they've changed it recently to
(We received SALAH EDIN HASAN's application for permanent residence on July 4, 2011.)!
Obviously they've removed the following part (We started processing your application on July 28, 2011.)
I find it fishy as if they wanna hide when they've started processing my permanent visa application
1- Please guys let me know any reasonable cause behind that action?
2- I'd like to know where is my application now?
3- what is the expected processing time?
4- Shall i let my wife in Vancouver contact her MP & will that make any difference?
5- What is our immigration office now Amman, Ankara or Abu Dhabi?
Your kind support will be highly appreciated
wish u all the best too
