It has been ONE YEAR for me and i have contacted local MP multiple time and nothing happened :mad: :mad: :mad:
All they telling me is to wait another 2 months. But i argued with him that when i applied (2015 August) it was 9 moths processing time and that should be the processing time for my application....... even though he said just wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sad to hear sutha! Only thing we can do is pray, pray and pray for all of us! :( i think only the Colombo VO is like this, other VOs May be slow, but are moving somehow.. Colombo VO seems like no movement forever :'(

Worried about you darling, cz if August passes they'll ask you for re-medical :( cz your medical expires next month right? Try to meet your mp and get it done somehow before medical expires! :(

Well for me, 14 months have already passed and nothing happened still waiting... Also, I came to the conclusion that getting a Canadian visa has nothing to do with your education, criminality,etc...everything have to do with your LUCK. There are people who get married 2nd time without even getting divorce from their first partner and still able to bring their 2nd partner to Canada sooooo easily when bigamy is not even allowed in Canada. I guess when you try to go through the proper channel you will be screwed no matter what!!!

Yes, people who mess with the government get the visa for their spouses within 4-6 months but when you work for years and pay tax on time you get kicked to the curb.

Guys, I'm trying to order GCMS notes, this is the first time.
can you please help me? this is my question, they're asking for some documents to be attached,


"The consent must indicate the name of the person giving his or her consent and to whom consent is being given. The consent document must be dated and signed by the person giving the consent.

You must include the consent for each individual listed in your file over the age of 18.

You may submit up to three (3) documents, but only one (1) is mandatory."


is it the IMM 5475 form? should I attach any other documents?

Soon
Is there anyone who submitted their application around April 2016? CIC received mine on april 28, 2016. And colombo vo requested my wife to submit her passport alteration pages, my 2015 notice of assessment, T4 slips, and letter from my current employer. Do you think this is a good sign so far? Also, I had already attached my 2015 notice of assessment and employment letter with the initial application itself, so not sure why its being asked again. Im really new to this, I would greatly appreciate if someone with experience could shine some light as to what to expect next.

hi shan4dev, same with us, we attached those docs too with the application, but they requested it again.. they requested me in july and I submitted them within a week, and since then we didn't hear anything from the VO.. so, that may be normal, requesting for already submitted docs..
