I am an October 2017 applicant. I received an email reply from LVO last week that my eligibility had cleared and my background check was still underway. GCKey has not yet been updated with my eligibility approval and I spoke with an IRCC call center agent who told me it’s simply a matter of the agent who is handling my case not going into GCKey and updating it yet.
On Monday, IRCC requested an updated schedule A background declaration form and I sent that yesterday.
My background check has been ongoing since January 2018, so almost a year. My medical expires in a week, on December 22, but I have not been asked to complete a new medical.
What do you think the chances are that I’m close to being finished with this whole thing?

Hi guys
Can anyone please tell me what is the process of marriage registration in Pakistan? Do you have to sign the Nikkah nama in front of registrar for it to count as a valid marriage?
On Eca it says medical is received but doesn't say the date

If the sponsor is a PR, then you actually shouldn’t visit for a long period of time, I read on this forum that it’s better that your visit doesn’t exceed 3 weeks otherwise the CIC will object that you don’t plan on living in Canada.
Otherwise visited your spouse looks good, because it proves tour relationship is genuine. Upload additional proof of your tickets, boarding pass, pictures of you two together, receipts from restaurants, etc etc, and your case might get processed faster.
I'm a canadian citizen. March 2018 applicant, I have visited my wife twice since I submitted my application. Once for our honeymoon in Dubai and another visit in Pakistan again. I did not upload this information because it wasn't requested. Is it recommended to voluntarily upload this or send to LVO?

Everyone has a different opinion about sending voluntary information, but I think it’s good to periodically submit this kind of info yourself. You’ve got nothing to lose anyways! I think it’s easier to submit proof of your visit (boarding passes, pictures, receipts, messages etc) online, but if anyone recommends mailing it to LVO please correct me.

I am an October 2017 applicant myself and got pre arrival letter on 12th of December and background checks are going on since May 2018. I don’t think Saudi and Canadian dispute has anything to do with it. It is what it is brother
As process have significantly changed over the past few years and old guides and information have become somewhat obsolete, I have created a NEW GUIDE for Pakistani applicants going through Spousal Sponsorship - CanPakSpousal
NOTE1 : Most of the information I have included in CanPakSpousal are taken from various sources posted in 2017/2018. This will help new members in preparing documentation easily.
NOTE2 : Federal Checklist was updated on Jun 2018 and Forms were updated on Nov 2018. Quebec Checklist/Forms were updated on 2nd Aug 2018.
NOTE3 : Quebec's NEW forms updated on 2nd Aug 2018 are not Fillable or Saveable for some reason. However, I have added Fillable forms which you can find in Quebec Form's section. If forms get updated, please do let me know and I'll update them.
NOTE4 : MIDI have also removed ENGLISH forms their website on 2nd Aug 2018. However, I have added Old FEB 2018 English forms which you can find in Quebec Form's section. ONLY USE THEM AS REFERENCE!
I am constantly updating information and would immensely appreciate any assistance by our community. If you feel like anything can be put there (sample letters, information which I have missed, etc) or if there's room for improvement, or if any link is dead or blank, please do let me know. I've also given proper credits in all relevant links of CanadaVisa forum and previous member's guide too.
Special Thanks to our old member Mercy24 for their efforts in old guides.

What I understand that my presence here during the marriage and the steps
we do is very important for the entire application and hence I decided to
make sure if I am on the right track.
We are having complete marriage ( Nikkah + Barat + Ruksati + Valima).
My concerns and questions below:
1) but somewhere in this forum I read this that we need to take a picture
showing 400 guests, like we have invited 400+ people but how to accomodate
them in one picture.
2) Is honeymoon necessary, people do recomend having its pics ?
3) Wedding invitation card, one side or both (Groom and bride sides) ?
4) Chat logs and call logs. (is it required before Marriage or after
Marriage calls).
5) I can see in the forum that there are some cases taking 18 months like applied in April or May of 2017 and got done this Dec 2018. On the other hand there are some lucky cases like submited in May 2018 and done in Dec 2018. So my question is, what we conclude the reason for delay. is it Nikkah only case getting delay.
Do you have a lot of travel history? Why background checks are taking long?
