If you and your husband are in Pakistan waiting for your interview to be approved and getting visa and would like to fast processing because of your pregnancy then the answer is "No, unfortunately, you cannot ask them to proceed faster". There are couple of things you need to be aware of before asking CIC: Providing your reason (pregnancy and delivery in Canadian soil) is even a bad impression and from multiple perspective. One more suggestion when you go for interview dont let them know about your pregnancy from yourself. If they ask and guess than yes dont tell a lie, but dont tell them from your side.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Guys how long does it take before you're able to link your account? I got AOR1 and they said they need 2 documents, and I have 7 days to link my account so they can asks for the docs on there. I was able to login to ECAS but no link to MYCIC yet. Everyone seems to go through the same problem.

Yes it's fine to inform them of the 2nd pregnancy. Hopefully it strengthens your case(in their books).

I am applying with the new application kit. A few questions if you don't mind answering:

1) After sponsor approval, how many days before police certificate, schedule A, medical are requested? All of these are due in 30 days from their request date?
2) What additional documents were requested?

Thanks!

Did you go through the following steps exactly?


After you create your account, link your PR application to the account. (If you do not have a representative (lawyer), you will be able to link your application to your account)
1. Log in with GC Key account.
2. Permanent Residence > Family Class (Spouses)
2. Application Number and Family Name - Copy/pasted application number from email (including the F) and entered PA's last name.
3. City of Birth - I entered 1 space (hit spacebar once)
4. Country of Birth - Selected PA's country of birth
5. Passport Info - Did not enter any passport info
6. Other Application Info - Filled out the other application info as per our application and put '2' as the number of members in the application (Assuming 1 PA, 1 Sponsor, 0 dependents)

Usually they ask you to visit the office to sign the paperwork. However, I'd suggest to give them a call and mention that you are out of country. They should be able to send you the consent forms through email which you can fill, sign and return to them. My MP's office was very helpful as due to my travel schedule within Canada, they were able to help me out through phone and email only.

You're going to be 7 months pregnant next month i doubt that any airline would even let you travel. Pia allow maximum 27 weeks of pregnancy. Also you can't request them unfortunetly.

All Over Alhamdulillah.

Passport sent to VFS on Feb 9th and received the stamped passport and COPR today Feb 16th. If I come to think of it, the time I spent to super organize the package before submission probably helped a lot to get approval without additional document request. I can just speculate at this point; however, I'd imagine VO will get less frustrated if application and its content is organized in a way which would help the VO to follow and understand the content easily.

Praying for all of you... InshAllah things will move fast. Soon you all will get to experience that moment when the email notification goes off and you realize it is a PPR :)
Spreadsheet updated :)

Thank you for your helpful words and congratulations again. Keep us all in your prayers. :)
