It all depends on whats important to you. If you are the chatter type and don't care about resting/sleeping on the plane, flight delay doesn't bother you, then PIA is meant for you. If you prefer top notch service, sleeping/rest on the plane, prefer transit stops then you are better off with Emirates.

A general comment regarding Emirates... if the connection time from Dubai to Pakistan is more than 8 hours, Emirates will actually arrange hotel accomodation in Dubai for you for the duration and give you a complimentary coupon for meals I experienced this service last year, and I totally appreciated it. I was able to rest, take shower etc. The hotel wasn't exactly five star, but it was pretty good and the dinner was a buffet with a wide variety of food items. |

Congrats on the first request letter.
They are asking you to send updated proof of relationship since OCT 2010.
Also, most of the applicants get this updated forms request; just copy those from the photocopies you have if you filled them correctly and add the period from the date of the application till the current date.
Not sure why they are asking you to send wedding/honeymoon pictures, did you send it to them with the original application or did you send it later as voluntraily proof?
inko sab forms DOOBARA fill kar k do, kaam aasan hojyga..personal history change hojati hai ek saal mai wo batana hai especially k kia kiya is time mai. gap na ho kisi activity mai date ka. nikah nama klye likh do k day dia hai. reply every bullet they have asked |

UOC,
You can try your luck at CIC office in University Avenue in Downtown Toronto. Alternatively you can try CIC Mississuaga office as well. Try to check with Canada Customs why your wife's passport was not stamped at the airport? Try calling them.
Thanks

Hi All,
I know there is a great debate with regards to the significants of the disappearane or not of ones address on ECAS. I only ask as this is one of those opportunities of hope i choose to hold on too.
My wife sent additional supporting documents voluntarily 5 weeks ago to CHC-ISB of pictures from my trip to Pakistan where our ruhksati and valima was completed along with update of recent support payments, emails, messages and phone bills. Just over a week ago, her address also disappeared from ECAS, first time I can recall since file was transferred to CHC-ISB in June 2010.
Wondering if anyone has received any communications recently from CHC-Isb and if your address was present or not on ECAS?
Disclosure: Our case has been in queue for an interview since May 2011 due to Nikkah only (marriage of convienence letter) previous to my trip, with ruhksati completion and supporting pictures submitted there after.
