You need to be in Canada to apply or your sponsor can order GCMS notes for you. there are 2 forms you need to download, you need to sign one consent form authorizing your spouse to get information about your case from CIC.

Section A:
1. Access to Information Act
2. English/French (your choice)

Its ok yaar. Such thoughts are the topic of me and my husband's discussion everyday. We imagine thousand scenarios as to what must have happened to our file. I really really wish you are with your spouse for the anniversary. No one deserves to be away from their spouses.

Unfortunately for me, my anniversary is on the 18th. And today is Saturday. No sign of the passport so I guess I'll have to celebrate my first wedding anniversary on skype. :(

Thanks NDVO. And thank you to the dude processing my application.

Maybe I'll go watch some funny movie with my sisters on the day.

My postwoman (I know it's a woman coz I waited once to see who it was and now I smile sweetly at her whenever I see her in the hopes that it will get my passport to me sooner) is going to get a hug from me and lots of good wishes when she brings the PP.

Cal2can, I REALLY hope you're right. I'll be the happiest person in the world.

Dude..any updates on your end? Did you do a MP inquiry or order GCMS notes etc?
Yeah its more than 4 MONTHS since they have my PP....so I got my GCMS notes a few days ago, it took them exactly 30 days to send them via email...
It says that my interview is waived and that the file is In Process nothing more than that I guess...most of the notes are just information from the application we send them...but I recommend everyone in this forum who is getting nervous to order these notes, really worth the effort !!!

The crux of the matter is that we have to accept that another human being(s) is the architect of your destiny for the moment and I am out of options on how to deal with it.

Thinkpad, you're right. That's the hard part to accept. How can someone or even the people designing this system not take into consideration the emotional strain the applicant goes through.

I know for a fact that in the US it is much easier for a spouse to go over. It's as easy as applying for a tourist visa and is processed in a matter of weeks. They are not eligible to work with that status and have to apply for work permit separately.

But they can close that physical and geographical barrier.

Our only option for our own sake is to stay positive. And I find this forum really helpful because only those going through this agonizing process can understand.

Stay strong everyone. :)

I hear you. Yup you are right. My cousin got married a month before me. He took his spouse to US in two months, I am still here. Its not being nice being in question in your own family.

I do not understand the priority system here. If it takes like more than 7 months for them to clear cases then we can hardly say its on priority.

I am really sorry you cannot be with your husband for the anniversary. But lets hope there are better things in store for you.

BTW. With the latest data compiled in the spreadsheet, looks like all april and may applicants who have been active on forum and whose applications are still in 'Application Received' status have got interview calls or have been informed about interview via GCMS and MP inquiry.

@waheguruji, are there any updates on your case??

You got your PPR in NOV so I think wait for a while. There are chances that your interview may be waived, if your case is straightforward.
