Hey Guys,

Been reading about the content of the petition .. in my humble opinion ..

We can do with better words. 'Torturing' and 'dying' doesn't sound right. We could make it more formalised yet convey our anguish and suffering.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks.
I would want something of a humble and humanitarian one rather than completely questioning their policies
 
meanwhile this wait hurting more everyday, i am going to apply for TRV

any advice on invitation letter what should i use,
or if anyone who got approved can share views/sample letter

thanks
 
I found this on 2015 thread

One of my family friend friend got a letter from embassy explaining about temporarily work being shut down for two months. I don't have further solid information yet but this is what they told. so hope they pick up from August.
 
Just called CIC this morning and found out that I got Sponsorship approval yesterday (July 28)!!! And she said I should be receiving an email by tomorrow. So happy! I was getting worried since people who applied after me had already gotten SA...Now the real wait begins!

Timeline:
App Received June 1, 2016
AOR1 June 21, 2016
SA July 28, 2016
(could someone update the spreadsheet for me, I tried but I think I don't have access. Thanks)

I can totally understand your frustration but your language is too strong (calling NDVO lazy, words like Torture). We are not going to gain anything by blaming their bureaucracy rather we should place the request on humanitarian ground explaining how it affects our relationship and how this causing depression. The main focus of the petition should be to place a humble request to grant a TRV for all Spousal Category.

However, i totally agree with the travel expense though. I already spent 12k in the last 12 months ;)

Just an opinion

Cheers

Cheers

what kind of humanitarian ground are you expecting from NDVO mate, sorry to say but we are not begging anything from them, technically its our right as a Canadian resident or citizen. i am just being real and true in my statement and explaining my real situation so please don't raise finger and criticizing each others and also please stop making fearful environment unnecessary. Pal, There r some people waiting for 3 to 4 years to get their files approved so they can spend their prime time with their partners, some of them even don't find what's going on their files, you don't think it's real torture for those. And any country's bureaucrats will be work for their people because they get paid from tax payer money, in our case even we pay millions of dollar fee every year to process our applications. you don't think that we should have a right to ask anything straightforward to them if we don't satisfy.

And please if You think there should be use polite and softness for them instead of being real so please go through it, you will be appreciated in advance but in my point of view nothing can make big change until CIC bring every consulate under the citizen charter, and transparency in application processing.

Don't mind please here everyone intension and aims are almost same
 
Guys Any thoughts on this??

Just called CIC, they said the application eligibility is still in progress. The guy mentioned it should have been approved by now but he said sometimes this depends on few different things to be cleared up. He said he will make a note on my file.

Is there anything about which I should be worried as he has put some note on my file?

Totally agreed. one of my friend applied for PR back in 2011 from Canada, still waiting for an update, missing her family for almost 5 years now!!
 
Any idea, what happens if we send passport with TRV application and meanwhile CIC send PPR for sponsership pr.
TRV processing time is 32 days but it takes around 40-45 days
just trying to be extra positive on TRV application and PR

any suggestion is welcomed
thanks

Has anyone noticed what time of the day Ecas gets updated ?

Just trying to get an idea of what particular time to check rather than checking every 15 minutes. ;)
