Vienna Office Processing Time Issue

[sookie85]

Dear all,

I would like to ask if any of you have had a similar experience. My common law partner is a Canadian Citizen. She currently resides outside of Canada, in Macedonia, where we have lived together for 4 years. This summer for the first time, I got a Single Entry Tourist Visa for Canada.I have used this visa, and visited Toronto for a full month.

Now, I would like to ask based on your experience what is the best way that I can get an Immigration visa. My partner is not employed in Canada, and thus has no Canadian employment income. Is it better for me to apply for Immigration visa from Macedonia, or is it better to enter Canada on a tourist visa and then apply for Immigration visa from inside Canada?

Has anyone had an experience such as ours? How long does it take for am Immigration visa to be issued from outside/inside of Canada. The official website cic.gov.ca states rather long times for visa issuance!

tnx

Hi,

It is the same thing. If you apply inland from Canada, your case will be forwarded and processed in Vienna (if you are Macedonian citizen) and if you apply outland from Macedonia your case again will be processed by Vienna VO.

Good luck!
Sookie

Hi guys,

I am sponsoring my husband from Netherlands. This is the update so far:

We received your application for permanent residence on December 31, 2015.
We started processing your application on March 7, 2016.
Medical results have been received.
We sent you correspondence on May 12, 2016. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.

I sent them the requested documents on 7th June 2016. I haven't heard anything back from them. My MP contacted Ottawa and they said it's in stage of background check. Do you guys know how long the background check might take?

Appreciate your response
