DAR ES SALAM OUTLAND APPLICANTS 2015

[MNM2015]

It's good to know that they are requesting ppr after eligibility passes. It means they are clearing backlogs. Did you wait (for them to ask you) to send additional proof of relationship or did you send them voluntary?

I sent it voluntarily. It may have helped and definitely didn't hurt. If you have good proof, like of another trip, I would send it.

Right of permanent resident fee as mentioned. My timeline is mind-boggling. It had been two years but most recent: received a fourth line on August 16, as follows:

4. We sent you correspondence on August 16, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

They were requesting for RPRF and a second medical exam. I have paid the first and sent the receipt to the VO office in Dar and completed the exam which was submitted today to CIC. I also forwarded the emedical sheet to the VO. I guess let the waiting game begin.

I'm sorry to hear you have been waiting so long but it definitely sounds like you are near the end! May I ask if the reason for the long wait was because you had an interview? I pray the remaining processing will be speedy for you. Good luck and keep us updated!

Thanks!!

The problem was the "genuine of the marriage" and my wife proof of identity. As her date of birth on the birthdate certificate is different from that on her passport. They have sent us a request to proof our marriage is genuine and clarify her identity in the presence of a lawyer, which we had accomplished 10 months ago. So this is what delayed the her application. It had taken them that long to process her application and request a remedical and permanent resident fee.

I can take screenshots of our whatsapp convos since the time i filed the application (april). I also have receipts of money transfer since april. Im still waiting for my CSQ tho. So, i think it would be a good idea if I send them all at the same time via a case inquiry.

Guys, we all know that CIC policy is to finalize family class applications within 6 months. However, do you think the 25 000 refugees program has impacted our timelines?

I mean just think about how long will it take to get an AOR after bringing thousands of refugees to Canada every month. It would require tremendous amounts of manpower.

I am not sure if there is such a policy of 6 months, it depends on VO. However they are determined to process faster than before: « Our goal is to reduce wait times for spouses and partners», «Processing times can vary, depending on how many applications IRCC receives. Your application may be delayed if it’s not complete.»

Yes, the refugees program impacted our timeline as they had to deploy the officers from VO to process the refugees applications but as they are working hard to eliminate/reduce the backlog, the impact will be null at the end.

It's nice to know that the impact is null at the end.

My husband got his passport back yesterday! Included were 4 of his passport photos (so no idea why they ask you to send 2 more) and passport photos of two other random people (not good from a privacy perspective but maybe that's why they ask for so many lol). In addition, his address on the COPR is still wrong even though we have been trying to get them to fix it for months by CSE, 5 emails and a letter with the passport asking them to please update it. Oh well I don't think it will matter when he lands. Just another example of their inefficiencies.

I wanted to say thanks so much for everyone's support on this journey. It's a difficult journey that often tries your patience but it's nice to be able to share with others going through the same thing who understand. I am so grateful that Dar has been processing applications much faster this year. I hope and pray that continues for all of you still waiting. Remember to stay patient and positive. All the best to everyone!
