He lives in US -Niagara Falls and he is not citizen yet ( he has an asylum status in USA)I live in Canada Toronto ..we have applied
for his PR 14 Dec 2011 and still waiting ....we have applied to Buffalo office which has been closed inconveniently....we have recently been notified to come for an interview ,bith of us 21Jan-2014....they gave us whole list for documents to bring with us ....not sure why do we have to obtain same documents over and over ...last June we have sent police clearance , FBI clearance and now its requested again???I thought those are valid for 12 month or so ....also not sure if we need to bring his new medical since old one has expired ...we were not advised so ,but we thought that would speed up the process should decision will be positive ...do you think that is good idea? if not ,how much does it take from decision making ,obtaining new medical a an getting PR ? Any input is much appreciated ....thank you ....patience is a virtue ???

I don't have any answers for you .Can't believe you have been waiting 2 years . If my husbands P.R don't come withing a year he will just have to come without it . Saying that you aren't to far apart that you cant see each other often . Good luck

I'm kind of curious as to just what kind of red flags and how many of them there are.. that it took 2+ years for it to progress..

The red flag is mentioned in the first post. The applicant has asylum status in the US. This is something CIC will (rightly or wrongly) view as a red flag and they will want to verify that the relationship is genuine - and that the applicant isn't simply using the sponsor as a mean of obtaining permanent residency.

Thanks scylla. I did not know that asylum status was viewed like that.
