you don't have to worry too much on it.....as long as you perform the rukhsati in december 2011 and subsequently submit them loads of proofs it's going to be perfectly fine .....mine was also transferred in May 2011....but it was a complete wedding and a husband's case......
make sure you spend a few days with your wife when doing rukhsati in december.......it can make your case stronger.....your file probably will be reviewed for the first time in April or May 2012 (it takes almost a year for it)....so there's enough time for you to send them updated proofs of relationship and proofs of contact.....after your first review if they're satisfied that it's a genuine relationship, rePCC, Imm forms and reMed could follow then.....no one can give you an exact estimate of when your wife will receive visa.....but having seen the recent trend of application processing for wives with straight forward cases you can expect to receive it within anywhere between 3-6 months after initial review of your application....
my wild guess is your wife should get her visa by the end of summer next year InshAllah ......this is the answer from my side for your question# 1........for your second question i don't have an answer due to lack of experience in Ecas updates.......
pray to Allah and have faith......

bro/sis you haven't mentioned whether it's a husband's case or a wife's.......did you receive electronic AOR of sponsorship approval from Mississauga? (they emailed you only?) .....or you received a paper version of it.....my wife received only electronic vesrion....
more on you app......you're not going to hear anything from CHC-I for almost a year after which they do the initial review of your application and if it's a straight forward case then it will take a few more months to receive the visa (these days 2-4 months for wife and 4-6 months for husband).......cheeers

Sorry mate!
My wife applied my case from Toronto! She received a letter saying that my case has been forwarded to relevant country that is CHC Islamabad, meanwhile my daughter was born in Canada, as my wife was alone there so i have called her back along with my daughter until my application is under process.

man you have just started........it's a long journey......may Allah help us all overcome the pain of this wait game.....
well i don't know your circumstances, but if the sponsor stays longer with the applicant in the home country CIC normally sends them an objection letter asking them to explain if the the sponsor has any ties back in canada and that you both will go back together once the visa is ready to be issued......it doesn't affect your case as such but it does delay your case for a few months and you have to provide them with lots of proofs to show that the sponsor does have intention to go back to canada with the applicant.......tc

I know my wife and daughter are leaving after 6 weeks, actually my daughter is a bit ill she is suffering from some kind of breathing disorder i think once she gets back to Canada i'll apply for a temporary visa, as my wife lives there alone and it would get difficult for her to take care of an infant (especially in winter), let's see what happens. moreover i have also got admission in a college to complete my ACCA but i don't think i'll be able to make it by the course starting date that is 22 feb 2011. i called CIC asking them about my student admission they told me to apply for a student visa while my spousal application is under process,(gave a reference DUAL INTENT) i'm confused don't know which way to proceed.

. Hi, i think the second update on ecas after application is recieved at visa office can be the date when an initial review starts. This is just my assumption. I'm not sure abt it because senior members suggest that initial review starts after 9-12 months. It is mentioned by many members over here that they get the second update on ecas but then the status gets back to previous one. what does this second update mean? if anyone has idea then pls share with us.

dear i totally sympathize with you..........i would rather say keep your wife and daughter with you here in pak..........the final decision in this regard will be yours def......
about student visa i personally won't recommend you going for that.......if you get refused, it can create problems with your PR visa application.......
