Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Ideas for applicants who don't have very many pictures with their spouses:

Skype, Facetime is the new 'meet-up' . So every time you meet virtually, make sure to take a screen cap, where CIC officers can see you and your spouse clearly (change of clothes/scenery, celebrating special occasions i.e. birthdays, anniversary etc).

- Make up a sign that says 'Happy Anniversary!' and hold it up while your spouse is showing emotions (happy, smiling, emotional, etc) and grab a screen cap.

- For birthdays, hold up a cup cake with a candle and grab a screen cap.

- Early morning Facetimes, without make-up with messy hair in bed, while spouse is out grocery shopping (time zone difference).

Try to grab as many candid and raw pictures to tell a story. Hope this helps! :)

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Hello everyone. Can you please suggest me the best way to compile and send my documents.

I need to submit proof of communication, and pictures from our ruksati and outings togther.
The mode of communication we use is facebook messenger and whatsapp. Is there a way i can access entire call log history? What's the best way to copy and save all messages? Also, how should I be sending the documents via email or postal service? I have to submit the documents within 35 days. Please suggest me the best way to get this done. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you everyone.

Notice – Canada’s mail service may be interrupted. Find out how this affects you
Updated as of July 6, 2016

Effective July 5, 2016, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has put special measures in place to minimize the impact on the processing of applications in the event of an interruption in Canada Post Corporation mail services. This affects the use of all mail services across Canada (first class mail, Xpresspost, Priority courier, Registered Mail) and Canada Post receiving agent locations.

IRCC will hold all non-urgent documents normally sent by mail until IRCC resumes using Canada Post services to avoid the risk of it not being processed by Canada Post in the event of a postal service disruption. Certain IRCC authorized cheques (such as refunds and resettlement support payments) will not be held and will be sent by courier or through other arrangements, as available.

If possible, you should apply online and upload electronic copies of documents instead of submitting paper applications.

When IRCC resumes using Canada Post services, we will process paper applications received during the special measures on a “first in, first out” basis. We will use the postage stamp data to set up this processing order.

All statutory and legislative requirements remain in effect. In most cases, deadlines will not be extended because of this interruption to mail services.

Our online application system and communication tools are available at all times before, during and after an interruption to mail services.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salam. everyone, how long does it take for CIC to acknowledge your file and send you the first email with your UCI/application number, before SA?

I submitted my file last week and it was received by CPC Mississauga on June 28, 2016 (as per Canada Post).

It varies but you should be expecting acknowledgement in 30-35 days and then for SA you are looking between 45 to 60 days.
