    Hi Mrs.Asag, In the email we received it is mentioned that my wife's visa expires until July when her medical examination results are expired. How did you find that one has to enter Canada within 2 months from the date visa is issued. Thanks

    I'm so happy to see so much good news being posted here. I would like to congratulate those whose applications have gone to in process and those who have received PPR. I know that those who have received PPR may think whether they should go to Ankara to get their visa or use those travel...

    Hi Mehrdad, I can't really answer your question, since I used the same email address for my wife and myself. I hope you get PPR very soon.

    Hi welt, As far as I know all immigrants can bring their belongings with them upon their arrival to Canada, without any custom's charges. You can bring some with you and have some be sent to you later. In that case you have to provide a complete and detailed list of those items that you'd like...

    Welcome back and congratulations Mrs. Asag. My wife and I are lining towards going to Ankara and submit my wife's passport in person. However, you have mentioned that it took 11 days for Ankara to issue visa for your husband. Is this a normal turn around time for them to issue passport? Did...

    Thank you all for your kind words. I'm sure in a few days we are going to hear good news from Mehrdad and lboxixodl. I think Ankara VO has cleared their backlog, caused by their strike, and things have started to move much faster now. I can't thank enough those who have started this forum and...

    Dear friends, I have received response to my GCMS form and I found "Created date: 2010" and "Created date: 2005" on some pages. Have you seen dates going back many years on your reports? Is this normal? I appreciate your feedback Thanks

    Hi Mehrdad, That's great news. My prediction was not not as accurate as yours but was close. Our timelines indicate that it takes about 6-6.5 months for application status to change from "application received" to "In process". I hope good news continue coming for all of us.

    Agha Mehrdad you were right on the target, when you wrote "maybe we will go in process in the coming week" on January 31st. My wife's application status has finally changed to "IN PROCESS". They have started processing her file on January 31st. It's been a long 7 months and 10 days :) Please...

    I have read this article (http://www.thestar.com/news/immigration/2014/02/01/a_rare_look_inside_the_black_box_of_canada_immigration.html) from Toronto Star on how immigration officers screen spousal sponsorship applications. I thought it would be of your interest.

    Dear friends, It's just so frustrating to wait for soooooo long and not knowing if anyone is working on our applications or not. I hope we all get some good news soon. I was wondering, if anyone knows hiring an immigration lawyer would help speed up the process? Do they really followup with...

    Congratulations deme, Your application had gone very smoothly through the system in comparison to mine, which has not even gone to "In Process" after 7.5 months. Do you mind if I ask whether you had hired a lawyer, or applied visa for Quebec, or have children? Thanks
