Spouse sponsorship Abu Dhabi office

[sbakhour]

Hello Everyone,

I tried to link my application with myCIC portal and it doesn't seem to work. I tried 5 times which was the limit of trials per day. The site asked me to try again after 24 hours due to security reasons.
Although, I am sure that I am entering all the details correctly as per the submitted application, but the message I am receiving is that the application may not be on the system yet or the details are not correct !
This is confusing me a little because I applied on mid July 2016 and the application is definitely on the system because I can check the status through ECAS which is "In Process".
It is highly appreciated if someone can help with a tip from past experience with linking application to myCIC as I am going to try again tonight (in few hours). Thank you in advance :

You didn't need to go through a private party to order your GCMS notes...if your spouse is in Canada, he / she can order them directly from the government for free or $5. To be honest, I do not advocate using a consultant / business to order GCMS notes. Anyways, you've ordered them now and hopefully they will come through for you.
At this point I think you will have to just be patient and wait.


thank you so much brother for your reply,

my sponsor had sent an email to case specific enquirers and it was the first email to send to check for new update but as per the first email we have receive it from CIC mention that my sponsor she is not representative to send or ask for any information regarding my application and they said if you can follow the policy to let here be representative but i did not and since this time i'm the one who send and receive any emails.

and i do not know that i went to using a consultant really . I just went online and read and follow whats there till I had done it

I will wait and see during this time whats going on.

thank you so much habibi. Salam.

I'm sure everything will work out....yes...CIC is being very confusing asking us to designate our spouses as representatives....there are different forms....just be sure you didn't designate the consultant you hired to get GCMS notes to be your representative as they will receive all of your information going forward. It's difficult to explain via this forum not knowing how you conducted the transactions but I'm sure it will work out - insha'allah.

thanks a lot my dear
I do not think so that I had did GCMS will be representative for my application. as I had done read only request for stander file notes for my application. even the email I have receive it said that i will receive file notes only & the form which I had send it back it said requesting for stander file notes. nothing was there for representative option.

I hope brother everything will be ok. long wait really and I do not know why.

but I have question please. next 16/02/2017. after 3 days I will finished 19 month since I had apply. do you think I can send case specific enquiries mention that I had apply since more than 19 month and my application still in process and asking for new update ? or is better to wait for GCMS notes ?

thanks a lot habibi salaam

Hello Everyone
I haven't been active at this site for a while as the processing time is very looooong :'(

Yesterday i received an email from the embassy and they are requesting an FBI clearance certificate, this is kind of weird because my wife have not lived in the US before but she was a visitor for 2 months and our son was born in the US.

Today we have just received a new request to do the medicals again since her old medicals have expired on Oct 10, 2016.

It looks like they are working on the application finally.

Just wanted to update you guys with our timeline.

good luck to everyone who is waiting for their application.

Please kindly reply.

You need to get it translated and then attestation. But if nikkah is held in Pakistan i am sure this must has been registered there. You need to get it translation from pak then.

or check pakistani counsulate what do they suggest...

We were married in Dubai and all we did was to have the certificate stamped by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for a fee of 150 AED. Then we had it legally translated by Dunia Translation (near the Pakistan consulate / MOFA area in Bur Dubai). We didn't get it stamped anywhere else. No need to. As long as your marriage is legal in the country where it was performed, Canada recognizes it as a legal marriage. At least this is our experience. We simply had all of our Arabic documents translated by the legal translator who then affixed a copy of the original and stamped the documents in a way that you could see if the document was altered (i.e. one copy replaced by another). This seemed to be sufficient for the ADVO (I even sent them one document and asked if it was fine and they said yes). We didn't then get them notarized in addition to having them legally translated. Maybe we were just lucky, maybe because our documents were in Arabic, they had staff that could actually understand Arabic as well...so less concern...I'm not sure...but honestly, it never made sense to me to have them legally translated and then notarized as well. The only purpose the notarization does is to state that the copy is a true copy....that's it. Unfortunately, the translator doesn't have that wording on his stamp. It didn't seem to matter.

I guess there are concerns with documents being fabricated / forged....and the translator confirmed this....which is sad...makes it bad for the honest folks (and expensive too!)
