SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Please advise if you’re familiar with the situation: My spouse has long received his COPR and has had his passport stamped with a visa. His application was approved and case has been closed. The issue is getting him here due to all the banned flights. We’re looking at getting him here with one of the connections being through Frankfurt, but the website states that for Pakistani nationals they’d have to get an Airport Transit Visa.
The Schengen website states the following: “You may be exempt from the airport visa requirement, even if you belong to any of the above listed countries, if you:
The Schengen website states the following: “You may be exempt from the airport visa requirement, even if you belong to any of the above listed countries, if you:

No change though for those whose sponsor is immediate family, or most family class.
How so? The government's website doesn't specify that. It says any COPR holders can travel to Canada as of June 21st.
COPR holders who have immediate family in Canada (eg spouses) could already travel under the immediate family exemption.
For most family class, no change, except that now they can travel without making use of the exemption, which required nothing more than showing they had immediate family who was PR or citizen.
Congrats to all who were planning to travel, but couldn’t because of the ban.
grab that first class PIA ticket and head on over

I don't think that's the case. The travel ban from Pakistan overrode the exemption that you're referring to; i.e. even if you had an immediate family member in Canada and COPR, you couldn't travel to Canada with the ban in place. The ban is lifted now.
No. The visa itself has no value in terms of exemptions from any sort of visa, and visa as per say Isn't PR, Its an one time visa to get you to the port, that's all.
Besides, I guess you know it already, flights are open now.
Best of luck.
Hello all,
I am in great need of help and was wondering if someone could help me out. I have been trying to sponsor my husband for the past 6 years and there have been complications. In 2015 I had a proxy nikkah since I did not know it was not allowed and it was refused. So my counsellor told me to go get a nikkah again in Pakistan in 2017, and I had the nikkah in person with my husband in Pakistan and we have all the evidence. However, the minister is still refusing it saying you cannot have a nikkah over nikkah in Pakistan law and says therefore I am legally not married. Does anyone know any laws about this? Is nikkah over nikkah allowed in Pakistan? we have an approved document from the union council but idk if it's enough. Does anyone know someone who can help me? I have a hearing coming up soon and need all the help
Thanks
