LVO usually does not acknowledge when it receives your docs.

Its been 10 months since u submitted ur application. so better involve mp to take Status update of your case, and meanwhile order notes as soon as possible (if mp doesnt provide tangible info, you will be able to see the progress of your case via gcms notes).
How to order notes? Any documents required? Is it possible to order notes if Sponsoring person in in Pak?

Please follow the following link to read about how to order notes.

https://sites.google.com/site/canpakvisa/home/gcms

Summary: Sponsor has to make payment (5 dollars), download, fill & upload the consent form (section A to be filled & signed by applicant, section B to be left blank, section C to be filled by sponsor), and apply for notes as per info given in above link. Notes will be sent to Sponsor's email id in 30 days.


I dont think there should be any issue in ordering notes if the Sponsor is in Pakistan. If there is, other members please confirm.


Feel free to write back for any queries in this regard.

Thanks. Spreadsheet is relieving. Seeing 2015 applicants still stuck makes me feel worried. I hope LVO pick up some pace and windup 2015/2016 cases within this year.

Its up to you, if you courier it from Pakistan you will have to bear the high cost, as compared to couriering it from Canada to CPC-Mississauga. How long are you planning to stay in Pakistan, as PR's must be residing in Canada if they want to sponsor their family members

2)what should i write in the section where it states "ARE YOU LIVING TOGETHER??"
If at the time of submitting the application, you are living together then I guess "yes" would be the answer.

3)what proofs should i provide as its an arranged marriage and was carried out with all traditional rituals???
You need to tell your "story" in one of the questions (how you met, when did you start communicating, baat pakki, engagement, first meeting, mehndi, nikkah, rukhsati, walima, honeymoon etc) and provide evidences accordingly for example pictures of the above events, receipts (wedding shoppings, bookings, jewellery receipts, honeymoon bills), communication proofs (text messages screenshots, skype screenshots, emails, phone call logs, and besides this you should provide all evidences of a genuine relationship that is asked in your document checklist.

4)Do i need to provide utility bills or joint bank statements etc...to prove the relationship???
If you have any "joint" stuff, you can. I am sorry I cannot help you with this one, this is a new requirement as per new forms. New applicants can guide you better.

Any advice would be highly appreciated and if pls excuse any mistake as its my first time writing on this forum

Thankssss

Good to know that you are relieved after seeing the spreadsheet. :)

"2016" spreadsheet does nothing but cause anxiety in me. LVO is stuck with May/June since Nov.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

1) file ur case after u return to canada. If u are a PR please note u have to return to canada and stay there while ur application is being processed or it will get rejected straight off.
2) Im not sure of the new format of forms. but if u are filing the application once u return back you will probably say no to that. Im sure there are other questions in the form which ask u about how many times u have cohabited with ur wife. U can state the time frame in pakistan when u lived with her in that question. Other 2017 applicants can guide u better on this question
3) If its is an arranged marriage u will need to probably write a story about how it was arranged, who arranged it (family or marriage brokers etc), baat pakki rasam pictures, reciepts of gifts exchanged, marriage photos with both families, recirpts of marriage mehndi valima, honeymoon pictures and recipets if u went on one, pre and post marriage parties u guys attended, social media screenshots, previous communication history u might have on skype whatsapp fb before and after marriage.
4) this is something which has been asked in new 2017 forms. so i cannot help u with that :)

1. Apply from Canada. PRs need to be resident in Canada at the time of application. Why risk this basic rule?
2. Write No, as you will be applying from Canada. If you say, YES and apply from here, you are just taking a reckless risk. Again basic stuff.
3. Provide photos, any social media interaction, SMSes, Chats, Call history you guys have from when you got engaged to your marriage to present day.
4. Since you are not living together (If you are, Your app wont meet a basic requirement of PR sponsors) you cant provide a joint utility bill. There is no bar on opening joint bank accounts, so by all means open that.

My two cents: Read the Sponsorship Guide and requirements carefully. PR's must be present in Canada, be a resident of Canada at the time of application period. Dont let 'convenience' risk your future.
