That’s me.
All in around 5 months for my wife
So here is my whole story.
My wife and I are from Kerala
we got married in December (2017)
She did medical for a long visit visa
We applied for a visitors visa for here in January. Got rejected
Reapplied for visitors visa in February. Got rejected Again.
Gave up visitors visa and applied for PR in March. I put together the package myself. Provided only what they asked, Nothing less, nothing more
Got sponsorship approval, but we didn't receive the NDVO transfer. So I ended up calling CIC to see what was going on.
They said they might process my application in Mississauga. But then after a couple of weeks, I got an email stating our file got transferred to NDVO.
Everything from then on seems slow as everyone here and we were prepared to wait for 12 Months.
I was checking CIC pretty much every day knowing that process is 12 months long. Then I stopped checking.
I booked a flight to go back to my wife in September and be with her for a month (Return by end of October)
On August 23rd, we got a notification to check GCKey account. They send the prearrival to GCKey.
But I was pessimistic and said to myself, that's just random and we will still have to wait till January.
Things really changed for us when we got the passport request (12 hours after receiving the Pre-arrival)
Now I have booked the same flight for her to come back with me in October
This is a miracle. I know what you all are going through. But stay positive
Ask me if you need to know anything more about our application
Cheers
