Hello Everyone! :D :D

Finally, I'm happy to inform you that I have received my passports with visa stamped with the Conformation of permanent residence on the 21 May 2015 from abudhabi visa office it took around 16 days to get my passport back. The visa stamp on it is 30th of April. My journey took 1 year and 19 days from the day I sent my passports until today. Never lose hope an always search for the correct answer.

Here is my time line:

Quick tips:
- Read t CIC website specific sections from A to z they have all of the basic and important information there.
- Read the forum, and if there is a conflict go with the CIC website go with the CI website
when applying and if you are missing any documents and you are a genuine applicant, justify it with proper related proof as much as you can. CIC know that such cases exist and if you can convince them that you are missing something for a valid reason then they will accept it.

without this forum and its members this made it easy and valuable,and I 'm willing to help anyone if they have questions, please drop m a PM as i don't do daily follow up on the big topics.

Wish you all the best and thanks for the support


Regards,
S7

The validity of visa is for entry only as the purpose of this visa is to get entry. Once you enter canada this visa will be canceled.

after you enter canada you will get PR card for which the validity is 5 years. This card take 6-8 weeks after entry.

You should have stayed 4 years out of 5 years to apply for Canadian passport.

Thanks to ALLAH Almighty...HE is the only hope...

Today I got my PPR+UPDATED INFO CHART REQUEST for each family member from LVO...

I have a query guys...please advise me seniors...

I am in Abu Dhabi and my family is in Pakistan. It is clearly written in the PPR email that I need to submit my passport in Abu Dhabi and my family passport in Pakistan...but when i read the letter it is written that "all documents for you and your accompanying family members must be submitted together in one package"

Plus the updated info chart requires details of principal applicant and accompanying family members...

1. How is it possible to submit all documents in one package in my situation

2. Do I need to include details of all family members in information chart of each family member...because our passports are being submitted in different countries...


Experienced advise please...
