Finally got my letter and have been approved ;D

File was transferred on July 26th. So 10 month count down will actually start next month because of Ramadan... but hopefully they will be a great mood after al eid and things will move along. 8)

Great gift for Ramadan!!

My husband got his email notice for the interview a few years ago during Ramadan. His interview occurred 3 or 4 days after Ramadan was finished.

The locally engaged staff might be slower off the mark but they still have to work. The bigger issue is that summer is posting season where VO's get reposted and/or moved around. There's no way to tell if anyone is being moved or reposted in Rabat but some offices are short-staffed during posting season until the dust settles. Summer is also vacation time and if I were in their shoes, I'd be taking vacay during Ramadan. It's fricken' HOT in Morocco right now!

HEY Freinds !! Gooooooood News : Processing times for sponsorship of spouses Decreased -1 month
IT Went from 11 months to 10 Months to 9 months NOW : it says 9 months on the CIC's Website.
By the Way Ramadan is so hard this year in this hot weather but alhamdolilah anyway.

It is with a very sad heart I am leaving Morocco tonight, after spending 5 weeks with my husband. On June 28, my husband was asked to go to the visa office to bring more pictures and more emails of us and to pay for the visa. They told him that they would give him a definite answer in 25 days. During all my stay, we have not heard from them :( I was hoping to get great news while with him... They even told him on the phone that he might be able to come to Canada with me. So I don't know when I will see him again...

So sorry to hear this. I was hoping to hear that he would be returning with you as well! I really hope you will hear something soon.

Are you able to contact them to make sure they received the papers?

How much of the staff there is "locally engaged"? And do you really think they're all fasting?
