OWP2015Dec,
Would it not be better if the lawyer will send this email as it will taken more seriously. Plz share a draft if possible. I would still ask my wife today to call CIC call centre as well as lawyer and mp's office regarding this step. Also i would to confirm the status being shown in the Gckey account. if both shows 72 hours then preferably we can b hopeful.
Hi Yadav,
I may have alluded to this in the past, but at this stage, I have lost confidence in my lawyer. In addition, they're sitting in Canada and every single communication cycle takes 3-4 days because of the time difference. Whereas, I can exchange emails with the Consulate on a real time basis. Lastly, now that I have contacted the HC, I'm hoping that the Consulate will respond in a timely manner.
If you find your lawyer easy to work with - then you may ask her to write on your behalf.
Just a question - did you apply for your first TRV together with your wife's Study Permit?
My letter goes like this:
My name and application number in the subject line
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing in regards to our application (provide details of your and your wife's application number, date applied, application status etc) (do mention whether you had both applied together).
(Then go on to mention how you have been awaiting a decision on your application and the delay in processing beyond the normal processing time and that other people who have applied later than you have been successfully received their visa).
(Than go on to mention the hardships that you're facing as a resulting of living apart from your spouse. You do not need to get into every detail but talk about financial reasons such as paying rent for 2 different properties in India and in Canada as well as emotional hardship of living away from spouse).
This is the most critical aspect of the letter and needs to be well articulated.
(Finally, end the email on a positive note that you are looking forward to the decision on your application and that you will promptly provide any information they may need in order to arrive at a decision).
