It can take 2 weeks in some cases. Maybe you can try calling them and explain your situation, but i am not sure whether they will respond, but you can give a try. If they have already sent it then your only option is to wait for it.glass said:

, coz my medical going to expire on April 26 :/ *pretending everything happens is for some good reason and compromising myself : At last received my passport ;D,
to @glass, my passport took long more than 20 days- just send them a case specific enquiry every week.
Now to share some of my thoughts- I have been a silent member and have not contributed much to this forum, though
the information that is available here is very useful and informative and sometimes heart breaking when you see someone who applied before us getting his or her passport back.
My timelines- app: 6th Sept 2012
sponsor approval: October 21
Pass request: November 15th
In process 21 Feb 2013
decision Made 4 March 2013
There seems to be two queue's:
1. Normal Queue- Case is accepted as genuine by officers ( 6-8 months)
2. Complicated case Queue- Suspicion in the mind of the officer- can be second marriage, not enough proof & documents, etc.
If you are queued for 1, wait 6-8 months and you will get your visas, if queued for 2 then the wait is on.....
There seems to be only one criteria which decides which queue you fall under and that is the "Genuineness of relationship with your spouse" understood by the officer. ( it should not be a marriage of convenience- that is what they are fighting)
The sad part of this story is that just because some idiots try to misuse the system to their advantage, genuine couples have to suffer the consequences.
I don't think we can blame the delay, we have brought it to where it is today and I think it will get worse.
I do understand that the journey is hard, full of emotions & sentiments, I can only wish everyone the best of Luck.
(This are purely my thoughts and if I have hurt someone in the process please accept my apologies)

If you are sure that any of the information in the letter is not applicable to your wife, maybe there might be name mix-up with someone else. Has your wife applied for any other Canadian visa before this? Maybe it will be better if you contact your MP with all the details of your case including the documents you have sent now.tahsinmohammad said:
I wrote the same thing in the cover letter that it would be some name mix up with some other applicant.She never applied for any other Canadian Visa..I am in India waiting for her PR to fly together and dont know how can i contact my MP.Worst case scenario if they want to reject they will call me for the Interview or they can reject without any interview..If they call for the interview then i can request to see the details of that application submitted under adoption category in 1997....muksi said:
I got this after my file went into In Process on 15th Feb...So expect anything to happen even after file goes into In Process..good luck every one
I am not sure what else can be done to verify your case. Maybe you can post this in a separate thread so that senior members from other forums can give their thoughts. Wish you all the best to solve this issue!tahsinmohammad said:

Thanks for your response. I have another question, one of my friends told me we can have the case details by paying some fees. CASE ENQUIRIES kind of. Can you please let me know how does that work. Is it of any use?

OMG this is terrible!!tahsinmohammad said:
Send them a case specific enquiry asking them about the letter and confirming that your wife never applied for any such thing in 1997.
Be very clear when you outline the specifics of the letter and your case.
Good luck
