I need advice ... my application was submitted on 6 jan 2017 for spousal sponsorship of my husband who is outside of canada.

Medical requested was in Oct 2017. In November 2017 they asked for PR fees and documents from past employer. Submitted those as well. Now waiting since then.

I contacted my MP (jan 15 2018) and they sent a request for an update to London visa office to which they responded that the file is in security check. The eligibility and medical is Passed.

How long should I wait or should i apply for gcms notes on file. I applied through a lawyer but he is asking 300 cdn $ to do that .... Can I apply it on my own
Omg.

I think it's 5 bucks to order them. DO NOT go through a lawyer for that.

Hello everyone,

I applied for my wife's immigration visa in Pakistan after the Dec 2016 changes. Good news! Processing times have decreased substantially!!!

I took my time to complete the file making sure that each and everything is EXACTLY as stated on IRCC website!

So here's my timeline:
  • 7th March, 2017 --> Application received by CPC Mississauga (Notified by text message)
  • 21st March, 2017 --> File number & UCI allotted, and file linked online.
  • 30th March, 2017 --> Received request for Schedule A form, Police certificate, and Medical. Also got approved to be eligible to sponsor.
  • July 14, 2017 --> Request to send passport to London office. Visa stamped and passport returned within a week.
So the application to visa time was literally 4 months!!!

Please let me know if anyone has any queries, I'll try to answer by my experience.

Best of luck everyone!
Cheers.

Hey Everyone,
I have a question: I submitted the file on june 11th 2018, and alongside the file I had submitted the PCC as well, which was already required, as per the checklist. Would I be required or asked for S-A PCC again?
