SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[SoniAZ]

What she told me was that it is internal information that they usually don't give out and that specific officer had a note on file that stated the bring forward date was July 1st. Rest God knows, with how things are it seems it will take that long judging by others applications. Sent updated communication of fb and whatsapp from date of marriage to now. . Just trying to save some time for what they may potentially request.

I was asked to send communication proof from the date of marriage to now ,pictures , proof of financial support, proof of visit incase my husband visited me as well as any document that may support our relation on 17th may 2018.
We send everything the very next day. Still waiting for an update

Dont know how much longer ill have to wait.

Hi everyone
why cic sent me back my original documents but didn't say anything else.
Does that mean my file is completed?

'Paki' got so bad that we wear it with proud now . Can't speak for everyone but there are many who don't mind. I guess you can say that it's similar to 'nigger'. We can call ourselves Paki but others should avoid just to be on the safe side. I personally don't mind.

Thanks "786" lol, its as I imagined. Thanks for explaining. I guess if anyone cares to 'name' me, I'm a Mick-Spic-Wop-Canuck, and loving all of it! Kind regards

ALL. Can we focus on application based spousal immigration questions here? Thought not much is happening on the application front to be honest lol. but still it might deter other people from actually following this group WHICH IS getting relevant info and timelines for PAKISTANI LVO based applications. . Lets not lose the core focus/essence of this group. Not sure why was was the "Paki" question even posted here. Just my two cents. Peace to All

Hello Saamar, if you read my original post, you'll see why, though perhaps you already did and your question is less question and more statement? I apologise to you if you need an apology - I believe your tone is light-hearted from LOL contained. I do agree with you that the forum should try to stay 'on-topic', so I would like to thank you for stepping in and all the other colleagues for offering some feedback.
May we all please stay ON TOPIC now thanks???!
Warm regards all.

By the Grace of Allah Almighty My hubby got back stamped passport.
finally wait is over now .
he booked his ticket for next month.
any special advice for him as he is coming first time to Canada?

Salaamualaikum Zaria, congratulations on your successful application!

If your husband has booked his flight with the airline already, has he checked if they will let him check in/board with a ONE-WAY ticket?
A Canadian Border Services Agency policy states a return ticket is not necessary to enter Canada, though airlines are sometimes reluctant and impose their policy on flyers making them buy return tickets and then burdening them with unnecessary costs and effort. If he's bought a return ticket, see below after ***.

As evidence, your PR Visa and COPR should satisfy the airline booking and airport staff.

***IF you have ANY doubt, book a RETURN.......BUT BUT BUT, please check what the cancellation/refund terms are for the unused portion first.
I booked with a Chinese airline on a budget flight search website, and could not change or cancel my return portion, so forfeit it and had to buy another 1-way to return home.

For my foreign wife, me and my daughter, we will fly in on 1-way tickets from Thailand and a print out of the CBSA policy statement, as well as PR Visa and COPR, of course.

Finally, depending on where you and your husband will live, I'm sure you've met / you'll meet many, maybe too many fellow countryfolk in Toronto and other major urban centres, and even in smaller cities and towns. Check out TVO's Youtube Channel for The Agenda and look for a video on accents / immigrants. Excellent panel discussion on the experiences of many different immigrants that you and your husband may be interested in. I found the video surprising and positive, so thought I'd offer it.

Alhamdulillah today I received my passport stamped and copr
We applied on old forms as per our lawyer advice
PRE MED Nov 2016
Case submitted 12 Dec 2016
17 Dec 2016 AOR
22 dec 2016 asked for updated forms Imm5562
12 Jan 2017 sponsor approval
LONG AND DEEP SILENCE
EMAILED LVO
INVOLVED MP
checking ECAS And call center status
First daily then after 6 months, slows down to
weekly
SEP 2017, eligiblity was sorted
(we found out later via gcm notes)
Stuck in BGC as had travel and govt job
23 April 2018 Remed
11 May 2018 PPR
5 Jun Visa and Copr (Alhamdulillah)

My two cents

Be positive, disclose everything don't hide anything

Be as detailed with pictures, label them
Organize them so it would be easy for caseworker to see and relate to your pictures

Patience and pray, give sadaqah

It can happen within one month to 2 years depending on lots of factors(age, gender education, travel, govt job etc ) which are different for different people. So don't kill yourself by comparing yourself with others.

Ecas, GCKEY and call centre and lvo, none of them will update or reflect the true status of your case

As a rule of thumb
Become active if 6 months have gone by
Email lvo, order notes, involve MP

This forum and members are a great resource
Thanks for sharing your experience with us

Haha because you trained her well ahead of time by saying 1.5 years. My useless MP contacted me finally after I sent a complaint. She said she contacted them and they said there was no red flags on file and the notes state the officer will start working on the file on July 1st. The reason it takes time just depends on the officer and their volume. In other words, a better way of saying lousy officers vs efficient ones lol. Let's see what they decide.

July 1st? So LVO is open on Sundays??

 

[arslankhalid88]

Since when ?

Did you get any update from the cic or lvo ?
I was asked to submit additional documents on 17th may 2018. I hope they are working on my file.

I got pre arrival services mail in dec
Since then no update

 

[talalbsse]

I am October 27th applicant. I am un the same phase as you. I belive none of the applicants from october got PPR yet.

Lets hope for the best....

Oh my god !

I call cic everyday to check my status.

Last week when i called the automated messsge said that the additional documents sent are being reviewed.

Today when I called they didnt say anything about the documents, like whether they are being reviewed or has been reviewed .

Does it mean they have reviewed the documents and now might process my case ?

i wonder when they will give me an interview date now .. it's getting ridiculous .. April 18th ko pata chala tha and they still havent decided on a date for me .. the quarter is almost up and july is the next quarter where they will hold the next batch of interviews .. abb mera April mein decide huwa tha to at least July mein to date day dain .. its been a year and one month already since they got my file ..

this is the only thing that has been updated so far .. "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements."

Seems like they are definitely punishing 2nd marriage and nikkah only cases. So ridiculous.
