Sponsoring husband from Morocco

[CarrieK]

Thank you for your insight, based on the experience dealing with Rabat office, I would say they are very stringed and to have interview waver would be a great luck. Considering several threads and even Canada travel advise Morocco is considered high risk country when marriage scam is being used, I guess they have their own grounds based on the statistics and hence is the amount of denials as soon as the immigration feels that there are certain red flags. I would say it is a tough office to go through and common people like us who have genuine relationships have to pay the coin in terms of procedural timing. And I would say that it would be easier on people (I do not mind waiting) if there is a transparency on what the embassy is exactly doing. Our update for 6 months has been: 'We need more documents and will contact you with detail" and for 6 months every day you open CIC account and it drives you nuts as nobody responds to you requests, nobody can give you any information on what exactly they need...etc. this is frustrating. I guess that's where they need to improve. In terms of quota, I don't see how people should plan their lives around Canadian family quatos as we can not plan when we fall in love and sometimes even marriage timing or kids planning is out of our control. Just stay strong and follow on each individual case as there are also administrative and human errors, just be in control of that process as much as you can. Good luck to all!

Order the notes and you will know exactly where they are at. Search the forum to find out how to order notes, it’s been answered several times

Just curious, is there anyone here who is waiting on a decision from Rabat? My application was just received by CIC but I would like to know if anyone else is further ahead in this process.

Hello everyone, i applied in March 2017 and my application exceeded one year now with no updates .; the last one was that our application is in progress. we applied by ourselves no representant or a lawyer . Did anyone had the same case ? PS : ambassy of rabat .

 

[MOHAnKATIE]

I have applied last May, almost a year from now
Last month the visa office in Rabat contacted me to send them more additional files, and never heard from then since then.
From some other people’s experience, it is typical to take 12 months more or less.
If there is any update in my application I will let you know

Maha, you can contact the visa office asking about an update when your application is passing the processing time.
Good luck everyone

You guys should keep every proof that your relationship is genuine, they keep asking for more proofs
Conversations, calls, photos, tickets... etc

Is there anything that can be done to make them work faster? I've seen other people complete their sponsorship much quicker. Why is Rabat so slow? Their volume cannot be so big that it takes over a year to complete.

I have heard that you can make an inquiry for your sponsorship using the web form but they will only respond to you if your case is more than 12 months. Maybe some other people on this forum may know some ways to help.

Unfortunately there is no way to expedite the process, and sometimes they do not even respond to emails if your application is still on the processing time.
You can still file a request to see your GCMS notes directly to IRCC.
We have not done that yet, but on their website it says they get back to you within 30 days.
