ur timeline says PPR on 24/02/2016 but VISA issued on 02/02/2016
that doesnt look too right, can u clarify please???

also, when did u initially get ur meds done jo remeds ki request agi thee...ur app process is pretty quick so just wondering.
Yeah..actually the stamp on my passport shows that visa was issued on 15/02/2016 but i got an email to submit my passport on 24/02/2016. I got my passport back on 25-03-2016.
I was myself confused what to write in section "visa issued". I guess i should write the date on which i got my passport back.. Right?

In sha Allah eevryone will get theirS soon.... :)

yeah :D that would make a bit more sense. i wished the forum would change up the "info editing criterias" cause they're really weird & so off-point. we need some like upfront med done, one for "in process" date, DM etc :)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

hey everyone.

jw, for the remeds, what's the quickest way to get ahold of em? what's the procedure - can u gimme their number & email? website?
also, is there a way u can request the earliest date of ur choice (i guess if u CALL then u can talk & ask em) but what about for email?
P.S. ik my husband wont be waking up at 8am sharp & tryna call em & wait for 2hrs... :p

cause ik they like love to pick up the phone & they're so proffesional about it ::)
i wanna know beforehand cause u know, u dont wanna be stuck with a random date 3 weeks later & then that just adds on to the wait times that we all'r awready sick of. :p

any ideas from people who've gone thru this? what did y'all do?

Call IOM at 051111466472

It will take some time and person should keep patience for quite some time to hold on the line...in my case it took only 5 minutes
Other thing is u send them an email at canmedpk@iom.int. forward them the email u have received for remedical, ur passport number, full name of the applicant, date of birth, contact number etc... request for early appointment they will schedule ur appointment. U can ask them if u r on call if it's available in lahore/ islamabad earlier. schedule that or other way around as well if traveling is not a big issue for ur husband.

It's not that lengthy procedure or may be I was lucky that day!

It took a month in ur case after remedical to get DM... I am also hoping for some good news in this coming week because my remedical was done on 7th March... what should I do if I don't get DM this week as well???

Any idea? Me medical is forwarded on 9th March I have checked that twice!

U should be getting PPR in this week in sha Allah!

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Regarding your 2nd Question.. Once you your child born, you can immediately go for Nadra birth Certificate, B-Form, and FRC from Nadra. After that you can apply for Proof of Citizenship Application, once you file you child's proof of citizenship, you go for Passport for the child. (That passport called limited passport(for two years validity only)).

I am a Canadian citizen as well, and my son was born in Pakistan, and I did the same, got the passport once I applied for his proof of citizenship.
Thankyou for your reply.. but what i wanted to ask is as soon as the baby will be born i will be travelling to Canada.. so on which basis shall i apply? If i go for Canadian Passport, i will have to apply for Citizenship.. so it will take time i guess..

If i go for an emergecny travel document for the baby..will that be valid and acceptable? If not, then how much time will it take for all the process (Filing an application for Proof of ciizenship of Child and Canadian Passport).

Hello ebad12

What I understood from your post is, you or your spouse is going to have a baby and you want a travel document for the baby so that he or se can fly to Canada with parent.

I don't have direct answer to your question. I am a Canadian citizen, living in Canada and I have applied for my baby's proof of Canadian citizenship certificate. It takes around 9-12 months to process the application as per the information by forum members. I have applied 7 months back and still waiting. After you apply for proof of Canadian citizenship certificate, you become eligible to apply for Limited Validity Passport for the baby. The processing time varies from 4 weeks to 3 months, as per the information of forum members. First you need identity documents for baby, birth certificate and B form. So in your case, I guess, you need to get the birth certificate and B form first. Then you can apply for proof of Canadian citizenship of your baby and later LVP. Somebody suggested, applying for proof of Canadian citizenship and LVP together, but I don't have any experience of my own.
