Hey all. We just received the Passport Request email, yay! :)

We are required to send our documents to Ankara visa office. They did not specify an address in the email, it just says send your passport to VAC (visa application centre). Does anyone know what is the address? Is it the one at the top of the email?
 
Remember, a year is the target timeline and it is not that long when you get to spend the rest of your life in an amazing country with the person you love! Have to try to keep things in perspective!
Actually, take a look at this, it's on their website. I'm copying and pasting:
The Department aims to process 80% of sponsorship and permanent residence applications submitted on behalf of the high-priority group of spouses, common-law partners, conjugal partners and dependent children within six months.
However it does say that anything that's not standard of an application could delay the six months period. Background check, medical exam, doubts regarding if the application is genuine, etc.

That's new. It did not say that before. That's interesting!

I wonder what defines high priority, though

So it even seems inconsistent on the site, nothing about 6 months there...weird

It explains what's standard. This is something directed to the officers, I guess, not the public. So it's normal not to find it on their website easily
