Rocky30 : Welcome to our world of frustration. Good thing you already know your application is "in process"; remeber that some agent won't change e-cas until the very end just to say "decision made";
It is not mandatory; anyway it is never very acurate. See my e-cas changed today to say my application is in process since May 28th!
My advice : pray if you are a believer, have friends praying for you, learn patience...On my side I wish yu GOOD LUCK ;)
Keep us inform please
Thanks Vera16; I think I just got too Obsessed with this ECAS.... I will try sway from it for some time... I guess patience is the key here... hope to here back from CIC soon ..fingers crossed 8)

I would try not to obsess over ECAS to much. My ECAS never showed "medical results have been received", or "in progress". Overnight it all went to "decision made" and "medical results have been received"

There are many others who's ECAS never showed in process.

I have added you to the Paris spreadsheet Rocky30


Rocky30 you and I have the exact same dates for when the application was received by CIC, AOR and SA....
RYIT... congrats on your COPR.. will take your advice and will just keep away from ECAS for some time 8) ... And yes our dates are just same for app received, AOR and SA ... So i guess my approval is not far away so patience is the key ...

MisbahNabeel, if I were you I would PM soblue3 (listed on the top of the paris spread sheet in red). She had an interview at the Paris office so she can tell you exactly what to expect.
Unfortunately her application was also refused after her interview and she is currently appealing it, but maybe she can give you some guidance so the same thing doesn't happen to you.

Just a suggestion, she is active on the appeal thread ( http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/all-spouse-appeal-cases-come-here-and-join-us-plz-t87619.5115.html )

I really feel for you MisbahNabeel.... I did some searching and found this thread that might be helpful to you. It lists possible interview questions in it and even has posts from soblue3 from when she went through the process.

Hope it helps!

MisbahNabeel : Good luck! Tell us what happen but for what I know about Canadians after more than 20 years living over there : if you are honet and tell you story the way it really happened they will help you; maybe they just didn't understand something in it where you found it very logical; That's what those interview are for!? So just go tell your real story without trying to find answers that could please them. My advice ;)

Ryit : Sorry for being such a child...but changing color is like...a sticker on the fridge...a reward that shows your progress LOL!

Rocky30 : the true is that I check my e-CAS at least once a day :D LOL Always the same song "Do what I say not what I do!" Like you I would like to see time going fast, jumping weeks until I finaly have a "Decision made" ;) but I have to show exempl to my teenagers so I act like if it is ok to wait and see... ;D

Viber Conversations (lots and lots of printouts)
Facebook conversations (lots and lots of printouts)
Pictures of us together, us with our families, our family gatherings, etc with description behind every picture of who is displayed, date, occasion, etc.
With the official documents of course.
That should be enough, as long as you can show you are not faking the relationship...

Good luck!

hi misbahNabeel ,tell me where are you going to have the interview ? is it at the canadian embassy in paris ?
about soblue3 her husband goes through paris visa office , but he had the interview at canadian embassy in tunisa , so there is a big different if you going to have the interview in paris so it would be more flexible than visa offices in third world . visa officers in paris are more open minded than the ones overseas .
i think they only want to know about your marriage how it happen as its an arranged one .
you can bring with you all kind of proves you have like : chat logs , pictures , money transfert receipt .
also your wife can write a letter and send to visa office in paris , describing your relationship it will help a lot .
