Hello Abdellatif,
I read where you had your interview in Rabat on May 28th.
Have you received a call yet with the date you have to leave Morocco??
I appreciate any information you can give me.
Thanks for your help.

hello kelly
you have chance taht you dont pay the fee,first when you send the application coz just in may the immigration ministry change the fee from 975 to 490 dollar
read this
The 2006 Federal Budget includes a 50 percent reduction in the $975 Right of Permanent Residence Fee. The new Right of Permanent Residence Fee is $490 for immigrants who become permanent residents under all social, humanitarian and economic classes. The change is effective as of 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006.
have a good day

Hi Everyone,
I was going to pay all the fees at once but it was so expensive $1040.00 and I read online that the $490.00 permeant residents fee did not have to be paid untill your visa was excepted so thats what I did was waited I was just getting ready to have our baby to so I needed some extra money while I was waiting for my maternity leave benefits to start. But its all done now. So my husband will be in Rabat in the morning to take in his receipt and hopefully be able to talk to the visa officer again. I also had a question for all of you that already paid all the fees. On the right of permanent resident fee the one that is $490.00 whos information did you fill out on the receipt. I paid it online like the other ones but for the other ones I put my information. Do I put my husbands permanent residents file number and his name on it. Or just my information again. I told him to just take the receipt to the visa officer and ask her what information is to go on it.
Take Care
Kelly

Hi Kelly -
It's best to ask the staff at the Embassy what they want on it - they seemed pretty helpful re these details. I think it can have your info or your husband's - when my husband was at the Embassy they had my name on record (I paid it online at the beginning with all fees).
As Abdel said - no news from our end. We don't expect to hear anything until at least a month after the interview. Not really sure but know it will be sooner rather than later.
Welcome to the forum Mornie - not sure what to tell you about Winnipeg - I've lived in both Calgary and Winnipeg before. Winnipeg is definitely colder than Calgary - but the people are great. Both cities are too far from the ocean for my liking!

hello everyone
plz tracy ,lady penny,mornie,read this information and tel me what you think
the daugther of lady penny ,mornie and my wife and tracy they paid $1040.00 ,( $75 for the sponsor; $975 for the principal applicant (the person being sponsored)
they say that on the website
-----Effective immediately, the Right of Permanent Resident Fee (RPRF) is reduced from C$ 975 to C$ 490-----
The 2006 Federal Budget includes a 50 percent reduction in the $975 Right of Permanent Residence Fee. The new Right of Permanent Residence Fee is $490 for immigrants who become permanent residents under all social, humanitarian and economic classes. The change is effective as of 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006.
If you paid the Right of Permanent Residence Fee, but did not become a permanent resident until after 12:00 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2006, you are entitled to a refund
plz read that and tel me what you think ,coz me i think that after when all the husband's at the forum ,have the visa ,we can ask one refund

Abdel,
I think we only paid $490.00 for the PR fee. We applied in Feb 07 so this had already changed.

Mornie, Winnipeg is very, very cold in winter, but extremely hot in summer. There are really only two seasons. The nice thing about Winnipeg is the lakes. Lake Winnipeg has white sand beaches that are as good as beaches in travel brochures, and if you like to fish, there are hundreds of lakes to choose from. The housing is affordable, the people are friendly, and it's a great place to raise your children. IT'S JUST THE WINTER IS SOOOOOOO COLD!

Hi;
We paid $490 for Right of PR fee, $475 for principal applicant and $75 for sponsorship application = totalling $1040. The $475 + $75 were for applying and $490 for Permanent Residency (RPRF).
Thanks for checking Abdel on the fees! Too bad - thought we might be able to get a refund...

Hi Everyone,
Had my hopes up for a second that I could get a refund. Too bad.
Abdel - Thank you for your response. I hope everyone will be getting a call sooner than later for their visa.
Penny - Thank you for the information. Im not intimidated by the winter. Looking forward to moving to Winnipeg.
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

cmk2 quoted:
Well, here are the actual timelines at Rabat:
Once the file is received at Rabat, your son-in-law has a 30% chance that his PR is approved within 4 months or 50% in 5 mths or 70% in 6 months or 80% in 7 months.
**************************************************
I wouldn't believe these numbers at all. The same time lines are quoted for my case, and 7 months was at the end of April. From what people have been saying, if there is one tiny additional question that the Immigration office can invent, they will, and they will MAKE the time clock will count out to one year to finalize you PR. Don't get yor hopes up.

To LS
We know about the timelines. I think we are all basically happy with the way things are going. There are many things that immigration have to check on both sides. Four husbands have had their interviews, and looking at the next step according to the website, is either being accepted or declined. I trust that when they say we will hear soon one way or the either, they mean it. They also say that when couples are separated, they try to get them reunited as quick as possible.

Further to LCS
Re: the 4 couples. It has only been 3 months and a bit since we sent in our papers, and for the husband's to get their interviews this quickly, is a hopeful sign for us.

hello everyone;
yes, I agree with Penny and Abdel - there are different circumstances in every country and every application. The indicaton we've recieved from the Embassy is word from them in a few weeks - I think that will be the case. My husband knows someone who has immigrated to Canada through the same process last winter and they heard from the Embassy about 1 month after their interview. Yes, each case is different, but so far everyone has received similar information.
LCS - I've read your posts and feel for you. It's so frustrating to feel so powerless over the most important part of your life. I hope things go allright and you won't have to wait too long to be with your husband.
Yes - hope is all we have (and each other).

I'm sure Cindy will update everyone with her news - but we have been in touch and my husband has been helping her fiance with information for their marriage and about the process. She is off to Morocco in about 3 weeks and is very excited!

Marhaban everyone,
LCS, I must apologize if I sounded harsh, after reading Tracy's kind comment, I know I must have sounded a bit rough. It's just that we all have our hopes up that we won't have to wait much longer. We keep each others spirits up, and when you said what you did, well it kind of upset me. I understand how frustrated you must be. This is a long process. Have you tried contacting the embassy to see what the problem is, if there is one?
Tracy, thanks for the info on Cindy. That's so good that your husband is helping out. It's such a lot to go through, and having someone who is experienced with the process, sure helps. Luckily, our Rachid had a friend who had gone through it.

Hello Everyone
I have some news. My husband was at the visa office this morning to bring them his receipt. Although he did not get to talk to a visa officer the security officer did go to talk to them for him. They told him everything is good. The security officer told him that not to worry about anything and that the timeframe that he has been seeing after the interview is between 20 days and 1 month on average that people have been picking up their visa. He told him just to wait a little bit longer and he should have his call. He was also speaking to two men there that were actually picking up their visas today. One man waited 15 days after his interview and the other man was 1 month. So thats pretty close to what the security told my husband. I hope it gives hope to all of you that had your interviews that you will be reunited soon.
Take Care

Kelly, such good news!
I was just talking to my son-in-law on Messenger, and I wish I had read your comment before I talked to him. I just emailed him and my daughter to tell them of your great news! I'm thinking that he might get his visa while she is there. This is wonderful!

Hello Everyone
Noureddine had a great long talk to the security at the visa office. They were more helpful then the visa officers them selves. The security man worked there for years and he said from his experience its from 20 days to 1 month. All of us had our interview just days apart and some on the same day. I expect as soon as one of us here something it will keep going and we will all hear to go pick up the visa. I really cant wait. I wish everyone good luck and we will all be together so soon. Its good we all have each other to share our information. Thanks so much.
