Can anyone tell me what is required for an application for NICOP? I am visiting soon and I want to get one instead of getting a visa every single time...
This is from the Nadra site:
A NICOP applicant is required to produce the following documents at the time of application:
Birth Certificate or
Old NIC or
Matriculation Certificate or
CNICs of immediate relatives or
Passport (mandatory in case of new)

Note
For further details please refer to the checklist in related downloads or call us on our UAN 111-786-100.

BUT...

I would check by getting in touch with your nearest Pakistani consulate.
This one is for Smart NICOP from Pakistani consulate in Vaughn. http://www.pakmission.ca/smart_nicop.html

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office


Hi

Please sm1 help me. I sponsored my husband in december 2014 and received the approval letter in march 2015. After that in December 2015 I received an email from the cic saying Accordingly, the Application for Permanent Residence for your relative has been forwarded to the visa office in London for further processing. How long will it take now? And will they ask for a remedical? We sent the medical with the application papers in december 2014. I am a canadian citizen and I have sponsored my husband from pakistan.

Your reply will be appreciated.

OMG!!!

I havent gotten any info or response since file was transferred. :( it's been more than 2 months since & it's still "in process"
& i know people'l say its still so soon to say but i know a handful of people, AND people on this forum...yes, (if u look at their timelines with their profile) that had their WHOLE PROCESS done within the span of 9-11 months or let's just say roughly in less than a year!
:(

keep in touch yo. i am desperately waiting for DM. :( :-[

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hey guys we r doing a Twitter campaign tomorrow starting at 9:00 am please please try to take part we need to raise awareness to these processing times. Also follow your MPs and tag them in your post and use #cdnpoli. This is a change to voice your concerns. We paid a lot of money to get these applications in so we deserve reasonable wait times.

yo i so agree man. this is so depressing. we pay the amount they ask for no questions and yet some people get delays for no reason as compared to others. (it's different if the app isnt complete or any other case specific issues) :( but still

we should start a whatsApp or facebook group tho. i dont have twitter. imma hit up Mercy for that...js.

At the end of my interview they were having concerns and did not take my Passport as well, also she said she will E-mail with in 30 days.. she said the documents we submitted to them at the time of interview she well go through them and then make decision. So it refusal or what ??
The immigration lady did,not look into our stuff for any thing and didn't ask for any thing , not even application forms, and police certificate or photos. Actually we had lot of Skype viber and email record , about 150 pics along with tittles on top of every envelop . Every thing was well organized . She took every thing and said that she will look into every thing and let us know by the end of the month . I'm worried like you too ???
