manager won't let me.
Take sick leave for a week or 2 and then give them a doctors note when u return.
Easy, that's what people do here because vacation time is VERY LITTLE in Canada.
So people get sick a lot, if u know what i mean ;)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

i'm doing a bit of research into spousal visas for the UK, and they have an income requirement of about 30,000 CAD. that means I'd have to get a job first before bringing my wife, but brexit will make job hunting a little difficult. as far as processing times go, it's 8 weeks for the standard service, and 1 day for premium. the premium service costs around 2000 CAD... almost as much as my wife spends on shopping every two months.

it's shocking to see the difference in processing times between here and there.

Yes u need to show 18690£ as your yearly income. They normally take 4-6 weeks.

that's not a high amount, I'm sure i can get at least double that. the only thing is that brexit might make it harder to find a suitable job.

Nope i guess. Brexit is going to take 2 more years. Also the people from europe will leave their jobs.

Not to forget the Guilty until proven innocent attitude of CIC. At least for those who don't have spouses in visa exempt countries.

it really does seem that way because the CIC never bothered to introduce spousal TRVs when the processing times started to jump.

also, does anyone know what's the best way to get from toronto to lahore direct? i usually go via europe or the UAE, but this time i want to get to pak as quickly as possible. is PIA really as bad everyone says? and they're so cheap too, i could go business class for the same amount i'd spend on economy for other airlines. :eek:
