Feel horrible for everyone affected by the London bombing. I won't be surprised if the hullabaloo slows down LVO somewhat, too.

Hi
Explain everything as it really is.
1-2) PCC and communication proof is easy. They enat pics of both of u taken after marriage of outings, family get togethers etc. Include evidence of all modes of communication between you and spouse: Skype screenshots, screenshot of whatsapp messages (8-9 per month of various times during a month), screenshot of whatsapp call log, emails, communication via Facebook.
3) submit letter from the family members of reason as to why
they could not attend the wedding and that they are looking forward to hold the walima function and celebration once their daughter in law come a to Canada..
4)Explain the reason and submit related proof. If you could not get vacation, then submit letter from employer stating the reason. If u plan on visiting your spouse in the coming months you can add that as a proof.

5) Show the planning that you have done for the Walima. Quotes from places you want to hold the walima, guest lists, rexeipts for shopping that you have done for walima etc
Hi there ....Tha kyou so much for the reply. I will try to arrange as many things as possible .The letter was sent to principle applicant but do you think it will be OK if she sends me all the info and I arrange all the sponsor related info and than send the reply from Canada .or only she can reply from Pakistan .?

Hi everyone. I need some advise .I applied for my wife's visa in November 2016. Yesterday I got a reply from LVO asking for some more documents and some explanation. Documents they have requested are :

1)Updated PCC
2) Communication proof since November 2016 , post wedding pictures
3) Due to some issues my parent were not able to attend the wedding so they need explanation.
4) Proof of Sponsor visit ( I did not visit her since I came back to Canada after my wedding ).They have asked if Sponsor did not visit than provide an explanation.
5) My and my wife lived together after wedding but I only stayed there 8 days after my wedding . Now my whole family is in Canada so that's why she is currently living with her parents. They have asked our plans about Walima . We did small reception of about 40 people in Pakistan and told them that we will do bigger reception in Canada because my( sponsor) family is settled in Canada.

I need some advise what will be the best way to positively answer these questions. They have not asked anything about the marriage because our marriage was attended by almost 350 people ( we also send mehndi photographs. but it seems they are concerned about few things after the wedding. . Also, is this PFL or additional documents request only?? The letter contains 2 pages and they have asked us to reply within 40 days . Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
Your Med is also expired. Did u not get a re med request as well?

Yes it is fully possible. Both times my husband posted our application package and voluntary proof from Canada.
Just make sure you write her name and application number on the envelope. And the cover letter is also from her name

I live in Mississauga, I am wondering can I drop in as office is in Mississauga or they dont accept that ? Will confirm that on Monday with them too.

They don't. You need to post/courier the package anyway.

Guys, help out here

For form 5406 CIC guide says

Write the personal details for:

  • Yourself (the person being sponsored),
    • If you are married and you were physically present at the marriage, write “married – physically present” in the marital status box
    • If you are married and you were not physically present at the marriage, write “married – not physically present” in the marital status box. Note that we do not recognize marriages by proxy.
  • your spouse or common-law partner, (if this applies to you)
    • If you are married and your spouse was physically present at the marriage, write “married – physically present” in the marital status box
    • If you are married and your spouse wasn’t physically present at the marriage, write “married – not physically present” in the marital status box. Note that we do not recognize marriages by proxy.
But in PDF row there is not enough space to write these words.
????? WHAT SHOULD I DO?

I went with my common sense and wrote (Physi Present ) since space was not much to write both full words. I dont see how this can be a problem, good luck .
