Hi friends,

Its 3rd week since LVO received my passport bio page color copy along with recent photographs but no feedback. I think we are on the slowest train :(

Sometimes, we feel that we don't have any word to express our feelings :-\

I understand that waiting is the hardest part especially if we are miles apart from our love ones... but don't worry all of it will come to a positive end InshahAllah

Inshaallah you will also hear a good news very soon. I can understand your pain.Thank you for your wishes for us. I also want to thank, Mercy, Ipoo, Sarim, Bubbles, Shafaq and so many others who helped us during our waiting period. Jazaak Allah.

My wife's file was stuck in eligibility for the longest time. It has been cleared today after MP informed me that the LVO will proceed with background/security checks. My wife's medical was renewed in August already.

How long do you think background checks will take now?
Whats the time line for your wife's application ?

The long ordeal process of 1 year 5 months and 27 days finally comes to an end..!! my wife received her passports back from CHC Islamabad with the visa. :) and in the marriage of 1 year 11 months only spend 70 days with her went through all remeds, additional docs, notes CSE and what not..!!! but really thanks to ALLAH for finishing this process for us and Pray for all of you that you get to meet your loved ones really soon. :)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

So now starting to prepare for my family's arrival next week, I just wanted to know what steps I have to follow in their first week of arrival.

1. My daughter is 3 months old, she have a Urine infection, can I take her to doctor as soon as they arrive to start her treatment ? or I have to wait for their AHCIP Health card. ?? Do I need to go to a clinic first.? What is the process of consulting a pediatrician ??


2. I moved to Calgary 3 4 months ago on a contract, but I never changed my address with CIC. I hope it won't be a problem.? So I think PR card is ordered the day she lands in Canada, can she give the new Calgary address there.?

1. You have to get AHC first and you can get card very next day after their arrival in Calgary (take pr card receipt and any utility bill with current address to registry)

2. Yes, she can give your Calgary address at airport

Hi everyone ..

My first post here.. I'm a permanent resident and want to get some info regarding Spouse sponsorship.

I'm visiting karachi,Pakistan this Jan 2016 to get married. I have some question regarding Spouse sponsorship.

1) How long is average processing time for Spouse sponsorship ( from start to the last thing .. getting the via)

2) If my future spouse apply for student visa and comes here as a student . .Once she's here we declare our marriage and I sponsor her.
2.1) How long is the student visa taking ?
2.2) Can I do this ? she come here as a student and then I sponsor her..


Check this New update for Inland Application:

One Year Pilot – Issuance of open work permits to applicants for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class:

One Year Pilot – Issuance of open work permits to applicants for permanent residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class
Summary

Effective December 22, 2014, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) will commence issuing open work permits to certain spouse or common-law partner in Canada class (SCLPC) applicants before the approval in principle decision is made.

Applicants who have already submitted an application for permanent residence under the SCLPC class but have not yet applied for an open work permit should complete a work permit application, include the appropriate fee, indicating that they are applying for an open work permit, and submit it to the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville, at the following address:

CPC – Vegreville
WP - Unit 777
6212-55 Avenue
Vegreville, AB
T9C 1X6
If an SCLPC applicant has already received approval in principle, they have the option of applying for an open work permit online.

New SCLPC applicants should complete a permanent residence application and an open work permit applications, include the appropriate fees, and submit both simultaneously to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga.

CIC will begin issuing open work permits to eligible applicants in the current SCLPC inventory. SCLPC applicants whose permanent resident applications are received after December 22, 2014 will have their application for an open work permit processed within four months of receipt of their work permit application.

Standard medical requirements for open work permits apply.

After one year, CIC will assess this pilot and determine how to most effectively process open work permits for SCLPC applicants moving forward.
