AOA WR WB,
I applied for spousal sponsorship.

Case received on April 7, 2014 in Mississauga
Process started on May 30, 2014 in London Office (recieved confirmation letter)
I inquired about my case in May, 2015 and came to know that an interview of my wife will be conducted in Islamabad and she will be notified a month prior to it
I went to my local MP office and inquired regarding my case but no luck in receiving any new info
Its been almost 16 months but no word on interview and neither as to what went wrong in my case.
I could see that mostly cases are being closed in 10 to 13 months in London
Can someone please help me with this interview mystery. Why are they taking so long to schedule an interview. Should I hope for an interview call any time sooner?
Please advise.
Hi, Any update on interview call? Thanks
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hey everyone,
I hope all is well. I am posting here with regards to my sister sponsoring her husband and they recently received a letter from CIC and wanted to ask me for further details as I am also sponsoring my wife. Anyway, for the most part i did understand the letter but i would still love to hear some of the experts suggestions. Her husband lives in south korea however he is a pakistani citizen. Anyway, would any of the experts here like to share their two cents regarding this somewhat disturbing letter. Just to give you some insite. their AOR is April 2014 and they received a remed request along with additional doc request in March 2015. and since then this is the first letter they received. They did hire an immigration consultant who did not want to update CIC about the trip my sister and her husband made to Pakistan in May 2015 and who also did not update CIC about my sisters pregnancy. Now this all news to me as well and my mind is absolutely clueless to understand why he would do such a thing.. Sorry for posting such a huge message.

This is with respect to your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the family class, the
class in which you applied.

A preliminary review of your file, based on the information and documentation you have submitted to
date, raises concerns that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be
selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law
partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Section 4 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations establishes that a foreign national “shall
not be considered a spouse, a common-law partner, a conjugal partner or an adopted child of a person if
the marriage, common-law partnership, conjugal partnership or adoption is not genuine or was entered
into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act.” Due to the limited
documentation/information you provided with your application, the information available is insufficient
information to conclude that you are in a bona fide, genuine and continuing relationship with your
sponsor and that you are not excluded from the family class pursuant to section 4 of the Regulations.

This letter is being sent to you to offer you an opportunity to respond to this concern and to afford you an
opportunity to supplement your file with additional information. Therefore, before a final decision is
made by an officer, you may submit a written explanation with respect to the concerns identified above.
You are free to provide any submissions or information which you would like the visa officer to consider
which might serve to allay these concerns This may include additional proof of relationship including but
not limited to cards, letters, photographs, proof of financial support, e-mail exchanges, chat transcripts,
proof of ongoing communication since your marriage, etc. which may support the development and bona
fides of your relationship, or any other written documentation you would like to submit.

Please be aware that the onus is on you to satisfy a visa officer that you meet the requirements of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Therefore, it is in your best interest to ensure
that if you do make additional submissions, they are fulsome and address the above concern(s) as
completely as possible.

You must provide any additional information you would like the officer to consider within 30 days of the
date of this letter.

At the end of this period, your file will be forwarded to the responsible visa officer for review. The officer
will review your file and will make a decision on the application, taking into consideration all of the facts,
circumstances and submissions before him/her. This will of course include your response (if any) to the
concerns identified above and any additional documentation you have submitted. If you choose not to
respond, the officer will make a decision on the basis of the information before him/her.

Additionally, Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act establishes that a person
who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the
examination and must produce all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

Hi

I can understand your sister's situation and I hear that a lot of people had bad experience with immigration consultant. You guys should filled the forms on your own but anyhow, what did you guys sent in with your application. I have recently sponsored my wife in March of this year and she got PPR already.

If your sister has: gift receipts, chats, facebook, emails, pictures, pregnancy report, phone bills, and anything else just send it with this letter and ask her to write a detail letter to them. If you guys need help inbox me as I am leaving work now.

If u don't get visa on the spot, it doesn't necessarily mean as has been refused. Not everyone gets visa on the spot. Let's hope for the best and pls keep us posted.
