I think things are being confused. My point is specific to Quran only, if you want to do a milk, custard, pudding ritual go for it since it is no where mentioned in religion but could be a cultural thing however I request everyone not to disrespect Quran as this is Kalam Allah. Putting a Quran on the head of a girl while doing rukhsati is considered a disrespect towards Quran by a large number of scholars if not all, in short you are saying disrespect Quran because we need to please CIC and because of which I said Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un. Surely we belong to Allah and to Him shall we return. It is a everyone rights to do what he believe is right.
i got what you were trying to say, and none of us are disagreeing with you, however my point remains: tell that to the visa officers at LVO, not us. the visa officers looking at our files have a rigid understanding of our religion and culture, and for some reason they've started to believe that holding a quran over the girl's head is not just a rasm, but also an islamic requirement.

the good news is that they've started to become slightly more flexible over the past year as they process more and more pakistani spousal apps, so skipping this rasm altogether may no longer be a red flag. i for one didn't do it, so let's see if they raise any concerns over that.

Eid Mubarak to you too and everyone else :D
Khair Mubarak and Eid Mubarak to everyone. I hope everyone has an exciting Eid. We're all in this together, may Allah Ta'lla give us Sabr. Ameen.

Hubby,
This is the second Eid you’re not here to spend with me.
That is two Eidi’s you owe.
Two plates of chana baturay I owe you.
Two new dresses you didn’t see me wear.
Two days I didn’t get to spend planning where to go
and ending up doing what we usually do.
This is the second time the family gets together and
enjoy the day we’re blessed with.
And I’m jealous of every
single person who gives you Mubarak.
Even they don't know what they have.

are they ever going to stop asking november applicants for additional docs? i'm glad to hear they're going to make a final decision in your case, but 30 days? -_-

send them the docs ASAP! if you send them the requested docs either by today or tomorrow, there's a chance they'll make a decision within 1-2 weeks. if you wait any longer they'll put your file away and wait the full 30 days before making a decision. i would recommend sending through case specific enquiry or email as that is much faster than courier/mail.

if you decide to send a direct email, do not forget to include:
1. your husband's UCI (different from sponsor's UCI, should be in the doc request email)
2. the file number
3. his full name
4. and his date of birth

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

I asked my MP for an update. This is what I got below. Seems like a generic response. Who know what will happen

-------

The application was received at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (CPC-M), Ontario, on November 26, 2015.

· The initial assessment to ensure your constituent meets the eligibility criteria and that the application is complete was finalized on January 27, 2016.

· The responsible office is currently reviewing the application and documents submitted to determine if your constituent’s spouse meet the eligibility requirements.

o the assessment for the spouse is still in process at the Canadian visa office in London, United Kingdom.

· As per our current processing times, it may take up to 14 months to finalize the application. However, processing times indicated on our website are approximate, and can vary with each individual case.

yeah, it's generic. i recall an oct 2015 applicant and a feb 2016 applicant both getting the same response within a week of each other, and then 10 days later, the oct applicant got their PPR while the feb applicant probably still hasn't had their file reviewed yet.

in short, it doesn't really tell us anything.

What are you saying buddy?, who told you putting Quran on top of brides head is a "disrespect" of the Quran. Can you please provide sources from the scholars who say this?. It is neither "a sin nor a gain" I know that. As far as people talking here about Pakistani cultures and CIC, listen every marriage has its culture, African, Indian, Chinese etc blaming cultural norms is not the reason why files are delayed, the clear reason is most immigrants are from the middle east and south asia, and Canada immigration doesn't not want to process this people quickly, this is politics, they don't want a lot of Muslims to immigrating at the pace they are, but they "can't" stop it either cause they need immigrants to pay for the social services they provide.

that's fine. the webform sends your query to the same email address, so it's pretty much the same thing.
