Hello
Is it possible to apply for temporary Visitor Visa for a spouse, after applying for permanent Immigration papers? What are the chances that my spouse can get temporary visitor visa while the application for permanent Visa is in process?

Hi,
Yes it is possible ...but there is a very high rate of denied ...up to 95%...but this is what people on this forum say....me i apply for my husband on dec 2011 for ppr and after a week we apply for a visitor visa and we got it......but we are big time travelers (more then 10 years of travelling around the world) so we hold a lots of visas from lots of country's including 2 types of US visas and i know that this is always a plus point. So yes is possible but is all up to the embassy....and is not a good idea to have a denied in your file at this time is like a red flag for immigration. So think about it...is important your record in this case...
Good luck

Is Learning French necessary ?

Hi everyone ,

It's my first post here, n im expecting some answers which will help me decide. My husband will soon be filing my & my 2 year old daughter's case from Quebec.

And also ( excuse me for my ignorance , im pretty new to all dis ) how long does it normally take for spouse immigration from pakistan ??

thanks in adv

Learning French is not necessary for spousal sponsorship but it is however a very good idea if you will end up moving to Quebec. Pakistan is about the worst country for spousal sponsorship because of how long they take. If you can get a one year visa to work or study in India or somewhere else, you should do it because if you are in another country with a one year visa when he applies, you can ask for processing there.

The processing time for an outland application right now is initially 90 days in Mississauga, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp and after that, 26 months in Islamabad (or if you are in India and can apply through New Delhi, 6 months), see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp#asia

You can follow the plight of the people applying through Islamabad on this 377 page thread here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/chc-islamabad-spouse-sponsorship-timeline-2011-2012-t63735.0.html

Another option, if it is at all possible for you to get a visit visa to go to Canada with your child, stay and apply inland.

Hmmm dats a lot of time unfortunately

I have heard that the Canadian govt usually does not give a visit visa in a case where they think spouse n children have or will (in future) applied for immigration ... is it true ?

True, it is often hard for kids and spouses to get visit visas to Canada because immigration feels that their intention is not to visit but to stay on permanently.

Hi
I am a Canadian Citizen and I got married in Feb 2012 in India. I came back to Canada in April 2012. I has not applied for my spouse yet. Is it possible to apply in New Delhi to sponsor my spouse while i am in Canada? Would it be a good idea to apply in India? Or i should apply in Canada for my spouse?

Apply through New Delhi. It's faster and plus you can't apply in Canada unless your spouse is also living with you in Canada. Applying through New Delhi is definitely what you have to do.

Hi everyone,

I sent in sponsorship and immigration paper work for my wife to CPC Mississauga around May 15.
Just wanted to know as to how long does it take to receive acknowledgement letter from CPC.
Also if there is any group for May 2012 New Delhi applicants I would like to join to carry the discussions and

Would appreciate your help.

PLZZZZ HELP...

my application for my wifes sponsorship was received at mississauga office at 24th jan 2012.... i was asked to send form IMM 0008 and IMM 1344 again with original signatures of my wife again.....

this time i was told to send the docs to CPP- Ottawa... i sent the forms on 14th may 2012 and i tracked the mail and that was received next day On 15th may 2012 in at CPP-Ottawa. i waited two weeks for a reply and then emailed them and asked them about my file .

The officer replied saying

Good afternoon,

We currently have your file awaiting the missing documents. Once they are received and verified for original signatures, we can begin the assessment of your sponsorship. That process generally takes up to a week if there are no other discrepancies with the file. Once the assessment is complete, and if you are found to be eligible to sponsor, you will immediately be notified of the results, then our office forwards the file onto the Visa Office in order for them to start their assessment of the principal applicant of this file. The average wait times for all visa office’s can be found on our website:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-fc.asp

This wait time begins from the time we receive a completed application package, which includes the request documents.

I hope this helps to clarify the situation of your file.


So im confused now... According to canada post docs were received at CPP-Ottawa 2 weeks ago and the officer said he is still waiting for missing docs.... ..

i dunno wats going on.... i wonder why the officer hasnt received them ..

any kinda info will be greatly appreciated...
