I think it will be better for you to consult some immigration lawyer / consultant in Canada.... yours is not a straight forward case... so better to go through immigration lawyer...

Guys I sent an email to PAFSO two days back telling them about the condition of spousal sponsorship applicants like us and what we are going thru becoz of the strike and asking them to do something. Just got a reply:

Ms._____
Unfortunately, the strike is still going on and we do not have any idea when it might possibly end.

This action has been taken as a result of a protracted breakdown in contract negotiations with the Government of Canada. As part of the democratic bargaining process, unions have the ability to withdraw services in all locations where they have members working. The union received an overwhelming mandate from its members to use all available tools to bring the Government of Canada back to the negotiating table. The current situation is a direct result of the Government's refusal to return to the negotiating table with a fair and reasonable offer that recognizes the work of Foreign Service officers.

Last Thursday, the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers went one step further and offered a solution to the Government. We proposed to enter into binding third party arbitration (http://www.pafso.com/news_releases.php?newsID=155). The Government has until Tuesday to make its decision. If they agree to the proposal, the strike will not be over, however we will stop withdrawals of services as a show of good faith. In such a case, visa processing would re-start.

Foreign Service officers who do immigration work take great pride in their work and want nothing more than to come to a reasonable settlement with their employer. You can help to encourage the Government of Canada to return to the bargaining table or accept the offer of binding arbitration by writing to the two Canadian Ministers who will influence this decision, i.e. President of the Treasury Board, Mr. Tony Clement (tony.clement @ parl.gc.ca or @ tonyclementCPC ) or newly nominated Citizenship and Immigration Minister, Mr. Chris Alexander (chris.alexander @ parl.gc.ca; @ calxandr ).

We are unable to answer case specific inquiries. You can however learn how to lodge an inquiry at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/my_application/status.asp Or if you have an immigration application in progress in Canada you may contact the CIC Call centre at 1-888-242-2100 or by e-mail at: question @ cic.gc.ca

You can find information on processing times at the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/



We regret any inconvenience this may cause and wish you luck with your visa application.

I am really hopeful that the govt. will find a way out of this mess.. They have got to do something ... I am sure that cannot be this pathetic !! Plus immigration is a huge source of income for the Canadian govt., I am sure they will definitely find a middle route. As long as the service withdraw stops, m sure nobody really cares about their issue being sorted out or not... But honestly .. They have got to get ppl back to work... AT ANY COST !!

Hi All

@Myrah... Your's and my timeline is almost same.

Category........: FAM
Visa Office......: NEW DELHI
App. Filed.......: 18-04-2013
Passport Req..: 07-07-2013
VISA ISSUED...: WAITING

Tell me one thing, my wife's last name on passport was not there when we originally submitted the Application, and they entered there as "null" on the last name, so how i can check from applicant's side on CIC Website?

when i check thru my login (sponser) it is still showing application recieved?

any update when they issue the visa after they call for PP?
