Thanks once again amira_mais ! Hi, CAPRWIFE - I meant that from what I've seen of recent applications in January 2012, about 50% get an AOR (as first communication from CIC) followed some days/weeks later by a sponsorship approval letter ... but the other 50% get the sponsorship approval itself as the first communication (that's what happened to me). It doesn't affect the overall processing so don't worry about if you don't get an AOR.

Hey abad, congrats with the good news...just a question when did your medicals expire? my husband has his interview tommorrow any tips? Hello Friends, Thank you very much for your wishes & blessings.. I attended Interview today and it was very positive. Visa Officer was also nice. There were few queries that is the reason that interview was held. Due to major Mistakes from my Lawyer my application has been delayed. : @  At the end of the Interview Officer returned my Passport as i will have to do My Medical again and Have to re-submit my Police Clearance Certificate as it's been over a Year now. Officer told me that soon they have my PCC and Medical they will issue a Visa in 2 weeks time. Experts, can one of you please comment on this. I'm little bit worried at the moment as Officer gave my passport back (however he told me that i need that to do my PCC). Could one of you please advice is it normal?? I will posting my Interview Details shortly, so that it will help others who will be attending Interview next. Thank you guys one again!!

waiting for sponsorship approval for more than 80 days  I think CIC doesnt care about families and other relations they are just looking for immigrants who can pay huge amount of taxes. if your spouse doesnt have good qualifications, work experience and high potential to find a good job in canada, CIC is going to give you very hard time. This processing is very infuriating and can make people very depressed and hopeless. Canadian government's policies are also based on their cultural ideas. They are lacking family values and Canadian culture devalues marriage and other important relationships. The idea is that marriage will only last a couple years, which is why their processing time is so long. They expect your relationship to end during processing time. They only need your processing fees and appeal fees after rejection. Immigration policies are designed to force separation on couples and families, while at the same time government is claiming to promote family unity. They seem to be trying to test people to see if their marriage can withstand the stress, tension, hardship and emotional and psychological struggle that the immigration process and separation creates. Parents and grandparents sponsorship is discontinued and CIC is creating the same problems in getting their tourist and super visas (saying they will not return to home country because of family in Canada). For tourist visas, they say you need to know someone (have friend or relative) in Canada, but it is actually the opposite. They reject tourist visas for the same reasons people apply with. If you have relatives (or spouse especially) in Canada, they will say you will not return and reject your application. When applying for tourist visa, they ask about your financial ability to support yourself. If you show less than $10 000, it is not enough, if you show more than that, it is too much (therefore you will not return after tourist visa expires). Many people are forced to leave their spouses and children soon after marriage and waiting to see their family again. A couple needs to be together to support each other especially during this very difficult time (our lives depend on this application). Also, denying tourist visas to sincere people who just wish to see their spouse and children is unacceptable and punitive. Canadian culture is individualistic and they do not want you to bring your family (for example skilled workers have to immigrate alone). People are not getting married until 30-40 or not at all these days, and Canadian population is ageing. People are not having children any more!!! I dont know what can we do about this, but we just want to stay together, despite CIC's expectations. We are Indian and do not believe in separation after marriage. We are trying our best to stay together. I agree with you too

When ND ask for the passport after the application transferred to ND, how long do they give time before they expect the passport to be received at ND?
Do they give like 30 days in the letter/email??

Hi Shamsia, Congrats dear and Welcome to Canada God bless and Tk cr Abhishek Hello guys  How's everyone doing here? Hope there are a lot of positive news, esp from yug and guri  So here I am in Canada. As promised, here was my landing experience.  The landing process was smooth and hassle-free. I landed in Trudeau airport at Montreal (since I was heading to Ottawa). I had the Accompanying Goods and Goods to Follow lists ready, along with pictures of all the jewellery I had with me. The VO was an Asian guy, and all the officers were extremely friendly. He liked the fact that I had made those lists beforehand. He said "You have done a very good job and made my work easier"  He then asked me to wait for 15 mins while he finished all the computer & paperwork. He then called me over to sign at 5-6 different places, stamped at every single list of the B4 forms, informed me that my PR card would take 6-8 weeks to arrive, and with a warm "Welcome to Canada", I was out of the place within 30 mins to meet my husband waiting with flowers and a chocolates

Hi Ashu,
Thanks again bro and sorry for late revert was out of touch from forum....can u send me format of explanation for not sending my Option C printout but Notice Of assessment Please bro
Thanks Abhi
What year is your notice of assessment for? if it is 2010, it should be ok, i dont think you really need option c or explanation in that case. you can call Canada Revenue Agency though and ask for option c for that year and they will send it to your Canadian address in 2 weeks.

Hello Everyone.
I received an email this noon from CIC - New Delhi, to submit my Passport. (Yes, its a PPR)
I m happy for that. Anyways, I m going on a vacation for 2 weeks to India. (19th April)
Now my concern is that, as I m working in UAE, I dont know for how long I will have to stay in India??
I had send email and fax to New Delhi visa office on 5th April and faxed this morning (17th April) requesting to submit my passport in the end. (i.e. when they are ready to issue the visa)
Experts please advise.
