One more thing. When I was uploading all my documents they said schedule 1 form is optional. Still I tried to upload it but that one form won't upload although i tried alot of times.it always said this service is not abailable we are working on it bla bla.The rest got uploaded even the optional explanation letter. So I submitted my application without it and attached my travel history individually. Do u think that could be a problem! I really hope it doesn't. I read in other threads it can be. I earnestly request everyone to make dua. Thank you all!

On page 4 of the TRV application form, it says, "If you answered 'yes' to any of questions 3 to 6 above, or upon request of a visa officer, you may be required to fill out IMM 5257 Schedule 1." So, unless you answered 'yes' to any of those questions, you do not need to worry at this time.

Just an update - Alhamdulillah, my wife received her 5 year multiple visit visa today.

The process was relatively quick than what many people report on here. I have seen people giving lists and lists of documents to support their application. I gave minimal documents. didn't show any property. Got a job letter made showing her 1 month old job. So, as I've always believed that it really depends on the mood of your visa officer.
What I believe might've strengthened the application - was that I signed and notarized my invitation letter. and i wrote an affidavit saying that she will not overstay her allowed visit and she will not claim any benefits meant for Canadian residents e.g. health. And I also bought visitor's insurance for her and attached a copy. And I made mention of it in my invitation letter and her cover letter. Passport was returned within 4 days. I am really glad Alhamdulillah.

All the best you all. Now the wait for the PR application to be processed begins which I filed in May

Here's the final timeline

ONLINE APPLICATION SUBMITTED: 27 JUNE 2013
MED REQUESTED: 18 JUL 2013 (I asked them to use med from PR app - they okayed it 25 Jul)
ORIGINAL PASSPORT REQUESTED: 29 JUL 2013
ORIGINAL PASSPORT SENT: 29 JUL 2013
ORIGINAL PASSPORT RECEIVED IN ISLAMABAD: 30 JUL 2013
PASSPORT RECEIVED WITH VISA: 2 AUG 2013

v precise indeed
 
I applied on 18 sep, 2013 for TRV to attend World Petroleum Council Meeting in Calgary on 21st October.
submitted all relavant documents too.

i got a reply that "Your application is currently in process and under review. Exercise of patience would be appreciated"

If the visa is not sent to me till saturdat October 19th then I am afraid that I won’t be able to attend this all important meeting and hence would not be able to represent the Pakistan National Committee in Canada. Almost 50 countries will be represented in this world petroleum council meeting in Calgary and if don’t visit then Pakistan’s representation will not be counted and this will create a negative image of Pakistan there.

CHC send passport/visa via TCS and it will be closed for next 3 days because of Eid holidays. So I requested CHC to PLEASE CONCLUDE MY APPLCIATION TODAY AND SEND THE VISA BY FRIDAY.

anyone can help me out in this matter?

mdanish11, I'm afraid no one can help you in this regard - waiting is the name of the game. Unfortunately, the processing time in Islamabad CHC is extraordinarily long and visa applicants are advised to apply well in advance of their planned trip.

All the best - hopefully you'll get it by Friday.

Since your wife got 4 year multiple visa, does that mean she can stay there for 4 years full or have to come back every six months and wait six months ?
