That's very nice Mel. I guess he'll be experiencing the summer and the winter. Correct Mel?

By the way, I am going to SL Mel. I'll be there for 3 weeks so I hope things work out between that time.

Thank you Shif,
When did your status changed to "In process". I am waiting for that status change. And wondering how long it will take to get visa from status change.

Can you apply for OHIP this early? I thought we have to provide a letter with living address to get OHIP. Letters something from bank or any other invoice bill.

Hiya,

I had applied for spousal visa in mid Feb, 2011 with all the required documents including the police clearance and medical check-up. And in late March, they asked me to submit few missing documents - precisely missing signs on few forms. Now, my wife is given a date for an interview next week.

According to some folks I talked, they say when they call for an interview, they would give visa on the same day or in the following weeks. And in some cases, they give visa without any interviews.

Anyone has any idea for how long it would take for giving visa after the interview process?

Cheers,
-R

Which visa office are you dealing with? Is it Colombo? It is nice to see that ppl get interview in short time.

Mell i did not get a call from embassy until 21 of june, then i hope that i need to go to embassy for inquires( as my sister in law got visa - same time line for me) then on Wednesday ( 22 june ) early in the morning i went to embassy. it was around 7.00 am when i went there. there was only one Tamil girl in the queue , i was the second. after that they call for the person who came for interview and passport submission . there were not any one there for them. everyone for inquires . then they were going to start inquires session. :eek: :eek: and i took the phone going to switch off, :D :D :D :D :D :D , before that i got call from CANEmbassy ( i saved it ) . then one of lady officer called me and asked , you'r medical going to expire on 28 of june, can you fly before that if you got visa, then i told yes definitely i can book a ticket and fly before that. then i left the queue , and then she told ok can you bring you'r passport today at around 10.30-12.30, then i told yes i can bring it . then i stay there until around 11 ( it was 10 when i got call ) and submit the passport, they told come arount 3.30 for collection.
fortunately my brother in law booked a ticket also for me when he booked a ticket for her wife. then we fly on Saturday (25) morning, and i did not have enough time to ready because they told we have to be in canada before 28.

Re: Are you from Sri lanka?


watnxt, yes, I'm Sri lankan Tamil - more specifically, full-blooded Tamilian from Northern part of SL - living in Canada for quite some time. ::)


Dhanajeya, Welcome to Canada. Aside from materialism perspective - your F.I.L. buying a house and wife making things easy for you - how do you feel for being in Canada?
