SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[rafzy]

Yeah it seems like this
just because i have studied in pakistan they are doing this

I dont think so. My wife is from pakistan and never left pakistan and still her background check was done in 1 day.

I guess cic selects randomly applicants for detailed security checks.

That's the worst part, with eligibility we can say 1-2 months, but with background checks no one knows. I have seen people on forum that have pre-arrival since July but their background checks are still in progress.
I'm not sure why is it like that. People who have cases allocated to Mississauga office or example, are done in 3 months, including background checks. Then why not for London? Well no one knows. Whether it's a different process for Pakistani applicants due to our political history, or whether it's visa officers that do not finalize in order, or go back to applications to update them time to time, we don't know.
All we can say is that keep your fingers crossed and pray that all of us, and specially you, are freed from this misery.

Have you passed your eligibility/got the pre-arrival?


Thanks.

InshaAllah Ameen, yes I have got pre arrival. Thanks bro for your feedback.

My friend with May submission date also got DM on ECAS on Nov 8th. He reached out to MP office and they reached out to Immigration office on his behalf.

They told him that once you see DM, the file then goes to Visa Issuing Department which sends out PPR in about 1-2 weeks time.

Rest assured, once you get pre-arrivals and DM on ECAS, your case is approved.

So Enjoy !

thanks for your response.

i have a couple follow up questions, not sure if anyone is able to provide an answer:

1. Once we provide passport to Visa office in karachi, how long before we get passport back in our possession.

2. whats the validity of the Visa? i.e. how long does my wife have to enter Canada without visa expiring?

thank you kindly.

Validity is till end of Passport Expiry or Medical Expiry which ever comes first.
VFS karachi should not take more than 1 week to get your passport processed and returned to you with COPR.

can you tell me the estimated time after biometric done? there is no update in my cic account about biometric?

 

[rafzy]

Your background checks will be finalized once you receive pre-arrival services letter and that will only happen once Eligibility of PA is passed. This is mentioned in AOR-2 sent out by London VO.

There is no specific timeline but LVO says that roughly it takes about 60 days after eligibility is passed to clear background checks but it is not guarantee.

After pre arrival they start back ground check
This is in my case
