People sponsor without even changing names and get ppr
Correct. My wife did not change her name, and we got approved. No questions asked.

We applied on our own, and yes ours was what should be considered a 'straightforward' case.

I also rattled a lot of cages; wrote to everyone from my MP to Minister McCallum/PM Trudeau, and media outlets. Interestingly, a member from the Minister's office actually responded to my letter (albeit 3 months late) - and we got the PPR the very next day.
What did the member of parliament letter say?.

ra03ra, 7-8 months is the normal average for LVO if there are no doc/remed requests. late 2015 applicants were delayed by about 2 months because the VO slowed down over the summer for some unknown reason.

s.and.s, congrats! please share the following info so we can add you to the spreadsheet.

I guess your right. But still amazing to see a case clear in 8-9 months.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Congrats s.and.s!

Saw a post on the fb group regarding a june 2016 applicant getting ppr recently, is that person on the forum/ spreadsheet? What could be the reason for such an exception?

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

none of the may/june applicants on our spreadsheet have reported any progress.

if that person really is telling the truth, i don't really know why they fast tracked his/her application, but this wouldn't be the first time i've seen this. i recall a january 2016 applicant getting DM/PPR around march 2016, which is when LVO was still working on applications submitted in september 2016. let's wait and see what happens.

Yes it's my friend he lives in calgary he applied on june 22, 2016 for his wife. It is really hard to believe but i spoke to him and i have seen it. His wife got her passport stamped on OCT 21st,2016. CIC did contacted him for the passport size photos in August 2016. LVO can be so unpredictabe i cant believe it. 100% its the truth he is all ready to go to bring her to canada.
