Hi Bubbles, yes I have paid the RPRF. They asked for a copy of our nikah nama with the english translation on November 11, 2015. I replied to their request with a scanned copy of our nikah nama attached. Since I had picked up the nikah nama in Canada, it was in both english and urdu. I explained this to them and received correspondence from them on December 11 saying that they have added this to our file and no further action is required from us.

I was actually in Pakistan in December, and was enjoying my time with my wife so much that I forgot to keep checking online :P. So some time between December 11 and December 27 our status changed to decision made.

Thanks again

I'm actually in the same boat. Got a decision made somewhere between last week of december and 1st week of January. Haven't heard anything yet. Did any of the comments change on eCAS for you? Mine didnt .... thats why I'm a little concerned.

Hey,

No additional comments have been added to our eCAS since the one notifying us that they had asked for additional info. From what I understand though, it's common for this to not be updated right away.

I sent them a case specific inquiry today so I'll let you know when I hear from them InshAllah
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Did You Had rukhsati if yes, have you send them enough proofs , have you had medical done ....if all has been done then please send Case specific Inquiry because it really very long time . May Allah Help you
I have already explained that my file transferred from Isl office to London which consumed my 5-6 months and at that time LVO processing times were 18 months so they couldn't tell before another year as my file went back in queue .so my 1.5 years were lost to just wait for my turn and then started asking 1 thing at one time . But I know now I'm just waiting for DM which will be soon inshaAllah because according to my notes they are satisfied with everything and has no issues at all. So I'm just waiting . InshaAllah everything will be fine.
P.S I have 2 kids mashaAllah so they didn't ask for any relationships proofs just few things over and over (they might have lost ).

Dont worry , u are near to decision made / PPR inshaa Allah . I waited 33 months though my case was not shifted to london, and they never ever asked me a single document except Re medical after 26 months of my application file ,before 26 months they were silent.If they are asking u documents etc , it means they are working on your file..order notes after every 2 months and also send your husband to MP.
I would advice u to do case specific enquiry ( by sponsor ), separate email to London( by applicant ) and also send fax to them ( by applicant ) ..Request them to process your application as you and your family has been waiting so long and mention them in a nice way that current processing time is now 17 months according to CIC and ask them to consider your application on humanitarian grounds telling them that u have 2 kids as well and they are suffering as well without father ( I think in your case husband is sponsor ). These are all which i did on 12th january 2016 , using all channels of contacting them together and on 14th january 2016 , just after 2 days I received passport request..My ECAS is still In Process..
They are working fast and clearing the old files, but u should keep on contacting them every 3 or 4 weekly..
 
Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Does anyone knows whats the average duration of Canada immigration visa ( How long my spouse can wait before she enters Canada) . I read somewhere thats its one year duration from the date medical was done, but in the current process they ask for medical upfront. So reading some of posts on this forum it seems like spousal sponsorship applications are being processed between 8-11 months. So lets say if my spouse got her application processed in 10 months, would she only have 2 months immigration visa duration where she has to make entry in Canada?

visa will be valid until the medical expiry date. you have to come to Canada before medical expires

Thanks for the reply. How often does CIC ask for re-medical? I am in situation where my wife is completing her studies and graduating at end of 2017, so I am trying to figure out right time to put in my spousal immigration application so that once she get her immigration done she doesn't have to do landing right away.

I think u should apply as soon as u get married coz u never know about CIC they can increase the time period anytime... And when ur wife gets the visa she can come visit u get her PR card and can go back to complete her studies.

Things change all the time, so I would advise you to apply ASAP to get the process started. Don't wait for 2017 as you never know what happens then or what laws/rules get changed or made more difficult by CIC. Apply ASAP
