You should seriously consider ordering notes to find out what is happening with your case file.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Assalam o Alaikum Friends and Members,

I finally came out with a Spouse Sponsorship of Pakistani Applicant FAQ Guide.
http://bit.ly/canpakspouse_faq

There are so many questions that are repetitive as most people are aware of -- such as:
How long does it take to get PPR after the DM?
Where do I send RPRF payment?
How to order gcms notes? When to order?
How to read gcms notes?
What forms do I need to print for spouse sponsorship of Pakistani applicant?
What is the next step?
How long do I have to wait?
and so much more...

I think it covers about two-thirds of the questions that get asked in the thread.
If you would like to volunteer some more detail information, please send me a PM or email.
(i.e. contribute a mistake in the common mistakes section or add another section/topic, or expand details on a topic.)
If you find the FAQ or Timelines Spreadsheet beneficial, please click [good] next to my alias name Mercy24.

Even better, if you choose to add this link to your signature -- I would appreciate the support in creating awareness.

Wishing you all re-unification with your loved one soon.
Cheers! ;)

Hello quick question, On ecas it says Decision Made under Sponsorship Application Status and under "Permanent Residence Application Status" Application Received and when I click on Application Received , it says "We received ******** application for permanent residence on November 25, 2014." Now how do I know where is my case file? Is it in London Visa office? when I received my AOR on february 22nd 2015 it gave the address of London visa office for any questions or inquiries regarding my case but didn't specify where my file is currently. So can anyone help me please??

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi Folks,

Alhamdolillah my Wife finally got her passport request (PPR) email Today.

Quick questions (sorry too excited that the moment):

- In the attached PDF letter, it is stated that:

The issuance of your Confirmation of Permanent Resident document(s) is time sensitive so it is important for you to submit your passport(s) when requested.
-> What do they mean by 'Confirmation of Permanent Resident Documents(s)'? Should my Wife wait until she receives 'Confirmation of Permanent Resident Document' from CIC/LVO before submitting her passport to Islamabad?

My understanding was that she will print out this PPR, fill up the attached form, send photographs and her passport to Islamabad where they will staple the Canadian PR visa to her passport and return it back to her. I am confused about the COPR here.

-> Do we have to any additional fees (I paid the $1050~ fee at the time I filed her application with CIC)? They haven't mentioned anything about the fees in this letter.

-> How do VFS send the passport back -- does she have to go to collect the passport or do they house deliver? Do they give any tracking number for the passport?

Congratulations. You will receive COPR with passport when its returned back from Islamabad CHC.
No, additional fees for CIC. But you will have to pay VAC for courier service of your passport. They will provide a tracking number.
When passport is ready, you will need to pickup from VAC location. Passport Transmission Service -1550 PKR.

Your file was transferred to LVO.
Your timeline is similar to mine.

JazakAllah Khair

For Karachi VFS location,
Approximately how long will it take for passport to be returned from Islamabad with COPR+Visa once it has been submitted at Karachi?

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hi everyone! :)
Im new to this forum. Just found it a few days ago while looking up some information.

I have question or rather a concern. I have applied my husband's application in September/ October 2013.
Everything is going well masha'Allah. We are patient.
We had received the re-medical request which we already did. The status on our online file says DECISION MADE. So im pretty excited and hopeful that its a YES! I had a few complications in my pregnancy unfortunately and my doctors gave me few documents to submit to CIC so that i can have him with me asap.

Im just wondering when should I be expecting a response from them. Also will it be an email or mail?
For the re-med, we had submit pictures, polio certificate, passport photocopies.

If anyone can just tell me what should i be expecting and when, it'll be great!
Thank you in advance!

In my opinion, if your status shows DM then I would say just wait for a couple of weeks rather than submitting new documents. You will receive PPR very soon InshAllah......Once you submitted PP it may take up to 2 weeks before you receive your PP with VISA stamped on it............Rest is up to you.
Would you share how long it took before you status changed from In-Process to Decision Made?

Best of luck......
