Look online for your current ward MP. Email or give them a call. I went in after emailing the secretary. I went in on a Wednesday and she emailed me CIC update by Friday. Best of luck!

I just went out twice with my wife as i had only 3 days more after the Valima. I have all the pics from all the events. I will attach my boarding pass and aswell as boarding pass of my cousin /family relatives came from US to attend the wedding as an evidence.

I have few information i want to know. I have to submit following documents along with evidence :

IMM5491 ,IMM1344, IMM5481, IMM5409, IMM5540 , IMM008,IMM5669 IMM5406, IMM5490 & IMM3908

I went to POLYCULTURAL IMMI OFFICE, Mississauga. They informed me about the following documents as an evidence :
Evidence Documents:

 Whatsapp chat and email
 Boarding cards - Myself / Relatives

Q1) Is there any other documents I have to fill ?
Q2) For medical, Is medical will be directly submitted to immigration office by medical office or we have to send the result along with the rest of documents ?
Q3) For attestation of documents, Do we have to attest just from Notary public Or from Ministry of foreign affair ?. (For Example : Educational document should be attest by notary public or attest by Higher Education Commision)

Thanks in advance. I will really appreciate for all the help.

You don't need IMM5409 its for unmarried people living as common law partners. You need IMM3907 instead of IMM3908. IMM3907 is for Pakistan and few other Asian Countries. IMM3908 is for latin america.
You don't need to submit your wife job letter.
You have to submit all her educational documents starting from Metric. Copies of educational documents should be attested from notary Public.
Submit Urdu Nikah Namma and translation of Urdu Nikah Namma from a certified translator. No need to submit Nadra Marriage Certificate.
If the NIC is in Urdu get it translated as well now most of ID cards are in english but address on backside is in Urdu so get it translated as well.
Birth certificate is a requirement and you should submit it.
2 Photos but not passport size, you can find the size of photos in IMM3907.
Send all the other communication proofs, photos and tickets.

You have to submit medical receipt with your file.
Attestation from Notary Public is fine no need to get them attested from MOFA.

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

i'm trying to get tickets for toronto -> lahore and i'm wondering whether there's any other cheap options besides PIA. basically i'm going over to pak to bring my wife back with me as i don't want her to travel alone... so it'll be a return ticket for me, but one way for her.

any suggestions? PIA is around $700 for economy and $1600 for business.
