    Hi all, I have a bit of a complicated question. I am an Ontario resident, and I think I indicated we would live in Ontario on my husband's app, but my husband and I are considering the possibility of him living in BC first, with one of his relatives, before he joins me in Ontario. Would that be...

    Hi all: In the end, we decided not to argue about my husband having to re-do his medical :( We had been planning to go into the embassy and make a scene, but it just felt too overwhelming, especially if the outcome was the same. So my husband completed his second medical yesterday, and they...

    Hi MadeInCanada, thanks for your fast reply, and I'm sorry to hear about your stress :( Rest assured, I know how you feel; I'm so sick of the VO stringing us along. But I was still wondering where you read/heard that the extension is good for 15 months? We know my husband's medical was extended...

    p.s. Also, a couple of people have asked me about the last Cairo spreadsheet that I used to maintain; unfortunately Google updated it documents software, and the spreadsheet became impossible for me to update. Also, all the timeline info started to become increasingly irrelevant as the VO...

    Hi all, Just wanted to send an update about our case... It's now been six weeks since we were told we were "approved" at my husband's interview. We were told they would request his passport within 2-3 weeks. The day after the interview, his ECAS changed to "In Process." We didn't hear anything...

    Hi guys, our E-CAS changed today to "In process," and looks like this now: "We received your application for permanent residence on March 6, 2012. We started processing your application on May 12, 2013. Interview scheduled for May 12, 2013." But my husband has not received an email...

    In your case, I think you should definitely show that you are a proud Muslim woman, and wear your scarf & abaya! The interviewer didn't like the fact that my husband is Muslim, and I'm not - he thinks that only Muslim-Muslim relationships are genuine. So if he sees that you are Muslim like your...

    The old man only speaks English, so there was a young Egyptian woman who sat next to him the whole time to assist anyone whose English isn't good, but she didn't say anything during our interview. Personally, I would say be on the safe side and be as polite as possible (especially your husband)...

    Hi guys, I'm so sorry I haven't had time to update you on our case (especially to freeislam000, MadeInCanada and mamado). We were just really stressed by this whole process, and not online a lot. But thankfully, my husband's visa was approved at the end of the interview. :) I am really so...

    Hi all, my husband also has his interview on Sunday. Something I was wondering about was how upfront he should be that I moved back to Egypt after I was approved to sponsor him, so that we could live together until he got his visa. I know the visa office can deny the visa if they feel there is...

    Hi guys, I'm really sorry I haven't been active here and that I haven't updated the spreadsheet in so long. I have been reading the comments every few weeks, but lack of time and depression about this process have kept me from updating anything. I can do the updates this weekend though. Anyways...

    Hi guys, my husband's medical will expire on Jan 5th. When do you recommend we re-do it? Should we wait for the VO to contact us, or should we just go ahead and do it as soon as it expires? Should we send it to CPP-Ottawa? Or are the results sent wherever they're supposed to go automatically...
