We have recently been asked to pay the permanent residence fee to the immigration offices in Mississauge and we have recently been asked to send my spouses passport to the embassy in kenya. We then recieved an email asking us to pay for a courier coupon which we have done. We are now patiently waiting. I have had our local MP's office enquire as to when we will recieve the visa. The reponse was that it is in the visa issuance stage. What exactly is that? I just want this over so we can be together again.
