Guys need your opinion, what should I give more info to them?

I am a Canadian Citizen, disable, gave my ODSP (Ontario Disability Support Program letter), Bank Statements, Credit Cards info, wrote the info about my intention to reside in Canada, wrote why I have to live with my family(as there is no one who can my family live with) even then I get this letter, now can you guys tell me what else should I send them? Any suggestion please?
I think I either told you or someone else that I have been living in Pakistan with my family since 2006. When we applied for my wife's sponsorship application, I and she both wrote our detailed resettlement plans separately. Although I neither had any job offer nor any apartment lease or any college admission etc., but my plan was supported by bunch of correspondences with realtors, job hunters, friends, NGOs, community organizations where I am intending to do volunteer work, schools for kids education, professional bodies etc.

We found out in the notes which we got in September that the VO had not only appreciated our plan but had strongly recommended our case for passing eligibility in his/her comments.

So, here what you can do now, do correspondence with as much people /organizations to support your argument and attach that with your cover letter cum plan of intend to live in Canada. Good luck!!

My wife bringing Gold jewelry with her and she is coming as new immigrant

1- Does she need to show the receipts of the gold jewelry

2- she plans to bring some of her existing gold jewelry after about a year. how it should be declared now, so we don't pay taxes in future.
Following links could be useful; it is better to fill form B4 and write what you are bringing with you and what items will come afterwards.

Dear Friends,

Really need your urgent feedback. Is this PPR 1 :'(? Appreciate your feedback :). Tnx

Need URGENT HELP

Today, I received below email from LVO with an attachment having below request. What is this for? Can anyone help me? Tnx

"This is in reference to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents: Passport photos: Passport size photographs (photographs must conform to the specifications outlined in the Guide to Immigrating IMM 3999 and Appendix B Photo Specifications) colour scan of passport photo. Passport/Travel Document: Colour scan of valid passport bio page. Please note: All documents must be accompanied by English or French translations. When original documents are requested, notarised documents are not acceptable. The above information/documents must be received in our office within 45 days from the date of this letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence. Please return this letter with the requested documents"
Dear it seems you are reaching the stage you have been waiting for for soooo long. Send them what they have asked for urgently. The letter is pretty clear and easy to be understood. Good Luck

Can anyone tell me what lvo is checking after they send back original documents. It's been 3 months since they sent originals backs but did not say why or what they were still doing.so can anyone explain this part of the process to me?

(i posted this before but no answer)
I think it is hard to answer this. When we had "In Process" in August we sent them CSE for returns of our original docs, they replied after few days that currently they are doing background checks and after that they will return us. But when we ordered notes we found out that checks were completed in September and VO had suggested to return the originals. We had DM early this month and few days back we received our docs. Therefore, one cannot say what they check after returns, but it seems once they are done with all checks after that they return the docs. So, I think to better get the idea order notes.

Well thanks for your reply. If you remember, I even told on the forum that I am on disability, and I don't do job, I can't cause of my disability. ODSP(Ontario Disability Support Program) supports me, they even told me when I bring my family in Ontario(Toronto as my city) I have to let them know, so that they can support me and my family altogether. We, me and my wife told everything in the application, how we can live and support, though we need not to give because of ODSP, even then we told everything in the application, but I don't know what went wrong. Trust me brother, If I have to leave for Canada say tonight with family, I am al set to go. Because I have a running bank account, running credit cards, have some cash, luggage is all set, just to pack my laptop and here we go :). I am old enough in Canada, specially in Toronto and around, that I can take family with no problem at all. Toronto is like my home city. I am living in Toronto and around since I landed in 2002. May be they just want some letters from family, relatives and friends for surety. I am 100% sure even if don't give them these "useless" letters in terms of legality, they can't simply reject it as legally they cant ask me those letters legally. I know this :). I can take to them to the court of law, oh yea :). But even then I am providing them, I asked few members from family, relatives and friends for letters, hope I can get it in a week time.

Thank you my friend. I'm sure that this is passport request 1 (PPR1) as I have to send color copy of passport bio page and passport size recent photographs to LVO. LVO will then send me Original passport request to submit in Islamabad.

Pls pray. Tnx

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello all

I have some very good news to share. My wife has received her PPR request today. Our whole case was processed very quickly and without any hiccups. I am a June 2015 applicant and part of the group whose status in ECAS changed to "in process" as soon as the application reached LVO. At the time I thought this was a fluke but looking at my application and others around the same time, it turns out it wasnt. I hope everyone gets their case processed as efficiently. Below is my timeline:

App filed : june 9th 2015
AOR received : Aug 6th 2015
In process: Aug 14th 2015
Decision made : My ECAS never changed to this
PPR: Nov 25 2015
