Thread for July 2011 applicants

[afrosebd2002]

How the CIC send the approval by email or by send the hardcopy via mail?

 

[SMA.DE]

is there anyone applied inland and used the old forms after July 18th?
Did you include an IMM0008 in your package?
If so, did you inlcude the old or new version?
On CIC's website, it says all applicantion under family class must have an IMM0008 form. Not like the old outland application package which includes an IMM0008 already. The old inland package have IMM5002, which asks for similar question to IMM0008, thus I am not sure whether its necessary to include IMM0008 in addition to IMM5002. Moreover, CIC doesn't specify which version of IMM0008 to be included with other old forms.

Hi July GUYS!
Although you're waiting long time for approval,don't be upset.
Only this stage-1 is a bit slow,other process were sooooooooooo quickly going.
Today 22/June applicant got visa. Heyyyyyyyyyyy.......
CIC-M is changing a lot of working system.
Soon soon,very soon........

i think it depends on visa office and manilla is one of the fastest but London has been very quiet

Ya it really depends on the visa office where your case is being processed. Few offices have got a processing time of more than a year.

Ya but that is true that most cases are being finalized earlier than the processing time of that particular office, unlike 1st stage approval where you can't really expect anything before the time period shown.

oh I dint know that some office has that long processing time.

I understand the pain of waiting for that long and your patience is indeed appreciable.

I hope and wish everyone gets to see their loved ones very soon.

Kuku, spare a thought for our neighbours. Pakistan is 24 months, and I feel really sad for them

@shamsia

Yeah I was aware of that 24 months time line...and I have always been in favor of them... but 32 months for spousal sponsorship..goshh..

CIC needs to work on that..these people always talk about human rites.. so what is this...keeping 2 partners away for such a long time ...isn't it against human rites?

You are right! The first one year of married life is usually the best! And missing out on that

I have nightmares sometimes that by the time I land in Canada, I would have the famous marriage paunch and my husband a receding hairline

 

[kuku]

we have missed our first anniversary..... and it seems like we will have to start the marriage life all over again when we meet again...we stayed together for few months and then lambi judaai....

my poor wife had a dream of celebrating the first anniversary in her own way..I still regret that I could not fulfill her wishes..

 

[shamsia]

Awwww that's sad to hear!! But hopefully the next anniversary would be the way she planned

Our first anniversary is coming up, and Im not planning anything. Waise bhi, Im not much of a planning person. Let's see if we get the visa before January, then I will worry about it ;D

 

[kuku]

I wish you guys get to see each other before Jan!!!

 

[shamsia]

Thanks kuku! But why did you apply so late? I hope im not being too nosey...
