Sorry :( how long is a piece of string?
Processing can be anywhere from a couple of days to 6, 7, 8 months. It depends on the background of the person(s).

If your husband has only lived in UK and has a clean record it will take less time. The kids shouldnt take too long. The more places people have lived, the longer checks can take.

Hopefully yours goes smoothly.

Just received an email from London...Your documents have been received and we are in the process of finalising your application.
 
Pinklady - am I calling the right number? The number you gave me is 888 242 2100 - can that be called from the UK or have I been calling the wrong number all this time? Or am I just being really impatient... which is probably the case!

I have seen a number posted on this forum somewhere, i'll try and did it out.

Otherwise is there someone in Canada who could call and pretend to be you? (they won't give info to anyone but the sponsor)

I can't tell you when they will finish. All I know is background checks take longer for non EU citizens.
Perhaps another 1-2 months.
I know its hard but try and be patient. It'll be worth it in the end!

HI Imran

I think you need to be patient a little bit as the background checks takes longer for non-eu. That is exactly what my wife's MP has informed us a couple of days ago. My applic has been in process since 26 jan 2012 and that is after i was done with the interview. The interview officer said it was approved and it had to go through backgroud checks before they issue the visa. And since then they have been working on it. I called one weak ago and it looks like l have to wait till the end of this month. so be informed that for us who are not from eu the background checks takes a little bit longer. If you dont hear back any thing in two months, you better involve your MP in Canada...
 
WOW!!!

Congrats zaig and ahm, that's such a fantastic news, its worth waiting in the end

@zaig: you see contacting MP did work! never lose hope, you are gonna be here soon now with your spouse and all bitter memories of this process will be washed away,

so happy for you both!!!
