Hubby submitted his PPR to Islamabad today. They say it takes average 7-10 days to get it back.

I wonder how reliable their statement is, especially with it being a busy season.

Sardi aa nahin rahi, sardi aa chuki hai!!!

Regarding your query, you should not change the name now because then you most likley will have to withdraw this application as the travel document (pp), cnic and pr application forms, everything has her previous name.
Thanks, i thought so. I was wondering about updating the Field on the CNIC where i shows Fathers name to change to Husbands name, but keep her name as is. Should i do that? her name would not change but her PP and CNIC will reflect me as the husband, i imagine i will just have to send them new photocopies of PP and CNIC via webform after I have my application number. reason for this is so that it would show on 2 more important documents as proof of marriage

I did the same thing with my wife (change father's name to husband). We sent updated PP and CNIC to LVO and they were added to the application. We sent unattested photocopies electronically only. But it would be better to send attested copies via snail mail as well.

GCMS notes confirmed they added these new docs to our file and we never got any additional doc request either. Straight DM/PPR.

My personal opinion would be that its ok but please make sure you take TONS of proof to show that you will return to Canada to settle. Last thing you want is them questioning your intentions of returning.

Include letter from employer confirming your leave request as well as the official SAP or other records that show your last day and your first day back. Probably also proof that you are receiving EI during the leave. Just pay a lawyer $100 and ask him everything that you should take plus what he advises. Sometimes these lawyers know tiny details that most people don't think of. They have experience from past issues that people go to them with.
Thanks for your detailed reply, but I did not understand one thing proof for what ? and for whom ? Service Canada or CIC ?

Re: Spousal sponsorship for all Pakistani applicants at London Visa Office

How the spousal sponsorship works i.e. Steps

London Visa Office Processing time is 11 Months


Dear all just for the clarity i m posting the process of Family sponsorship for understanding of all of thread members.

Phase 1: Sponsor's Approval


1. Sponsorship application submission (AT CPC-Mississauga)

2. First Email: application of sponsorship received by CPC-Mississauga (with in a week time or 10 days)

3. 2nd email: Sponsorship approval and File is sent to London Visa office for further processing (with in 1 month)
or if you are an old applicant (Islamabad Visa Office) then your file is transferred to LVO. whether you get email or not your file is in London.


Phase 2: Visa Office Stage (Principle Applicant or Spouse)


Steps: Eligibility Assessment (Relation is Genuine or not) > Re-Med if required > Back ground checks > PPR 1 > PPR2 > Visa Issued

5. Eligibility Assessment: Additional documents or Interview request from LVO to assess eligibility.(between 5-8 months is my best guess) Interview will most likely held in Islamabad but interviewer will be a person from LVO not from Islamabad (Interview is only to assess whether relationship is genuine or not).


6. background checks will be done after relationship is confirmed by Visa officer.

Passport request is Two step process as Pakistani law does not permit sending passport out of country

7. Passport request 1. PPR1 sending copies of the passport and pictures to LVO (30 days) (immediately send to LVO on given address)
after receiving your copies of passport and pictures. LVO will issue Visa and COPR issued as per your passport and send it to Islamabad

8. Passport Request 2. PPR2. Original passport and return address needs to be sent to Islamabad. (usually 30-45 days after PPR1) Send PPs through TCS visatronics

9. Visa is being pasted on Passport. VISA along with COPR is sent to your return address.

10. You are ready to land.........

As per other members, you cannot be on PR and be out of Canada during the application process. Some people have had their applications rejected due to this. Please consult an immigration expert.
Kinza_Bee, you did not understood my question properly. I am PR and living in Canada doing fine job here now my baby has born back home for that I am applying for Parental leave for 5 months and I will come back again my wife and kid PR case is in process.
Whats the point to reject the case ? Parental leave is allowed from Federal Government this is not something I am doing myself.
