REALLY need your help!

[Basilzaman]

Dear forum members,

I need your help. My wife & son are now with me in Pakistan and we are so happy because we are together and we are enjoying to much. but now i am sad too because they are going back to Canada on 2nd August Sad my application in process and the status showing is...application received to sponsor ABC on 17th January 2012.I have not heard from them at all, nor by email or by mail. Should i be concerned? or should i contact them again by email? is there anything i can do in order to know whether my file has been opened or not?

I am very confused...and feel like I have no power or information on my case.
I really don't want to see my wife leave with my child on august 2nd while leaving me behind.....my child is only 3 months old and I would love to be with him as they both, my wife and child are in great need of me.

what should or CAN I do? Undecided
Please help!
Regards
Basil Khan

Dear Basil Khan,

Unfortunately I don't think there is much for you to do, apart from wait.... the first part has been approved, and your file has been transferred. Islamabad has a waiting time of 26 months from the last update on the website ( http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp ) so until that time is passed, you can't really do anything as you are still within the time frame.

If the time frame is longer for your case you can contact ( or your wife rather) your MP, to enquire about the case, but I think it is too early. You can see about similar experiences from the Pakistan thread ( now I just checked it and I see that you have posted the same message), but it looks like it is a standard for now.

waiting is hard for sure, and I imagine that with a child it is even harder, but unfortunately there is not much to do. If your wife is a canadian citizen she can come and stay with you for extended period of time, but if she is a PR herself then she must remain in Canada otherwise your application will be cancelled. You can try to apply for a TRV but I heard that they are difficult to get because CIC won't believe that you are only intending to stay temporarily... as you are married and have a child in Canada.

Good luck for waiting,
Best,
Sweden

I guess, the best thing will be to discuss this with a lawyer. I am sure there is way, you can extend your time here.

1. Pretty simple, you apply for an extension of your visitor status here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/visitor.asp
2. You find the application and sponsorship package here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp#immigrate
