SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[knighthunter001]

I know the wait is hard, and it is certainly stressful for you and the family. Not only are applicants and sponsors subjected to a lack of regular updates by IRCC, but also subjected to the two web portals that are not always updated on a regular basis to show the true status, not to mention the bugs in the website that also increases frustration.

I too am dealing with the LVO, and can confirm that they have been overloaded with immigration files to process, resulting in additional delays. If you have decision made, and received pre-arrival, know that your process is almost over. If you have emailed the LVO directly, it takes up to 30 days for them to reply to your email. If your request is a general update request, they do not always reply to your email. You need to clearly say in your email that the portal says decision made, but you have not received any other updates and can they please tell you the status of the application. Requests like that typically receive a quicker reply. Make sure you include the PA's UCI, name and date of birth in the email, and ensure that you send the email from the email address they have on file. If you are the sponsor, you need to make sure you have an authorized representitive form on file. If not, they will not give you information and the email would have to come from the PA and their email address.

Thank you very much for taking the time for thoughts and suggestions.

We have sent a web form and an email to LVO office and to Cic explaining in clear detail that on ecas it shows decision made provided UCI and application number.

All correspondence goes through our immigration consultant .. and I am in contact with them now every other day to ask if they received any update on their end.

The cic number is of no use if the applicant is overseas as this is what ive been told twice now that if its london visa office then you can only email and hope they reply soon.

No one will help over the phone if the applicant is not inland.

The fact that the results come on small pieces is just frustrating.

Salaam brother I appreciate the thought and suggestions .. to answer ur questions I have returned back to canada back in 2015 and been actively waiting and providing any and all documentation .. I have reached out to our local mp plenty a times but to no avail. I'm in Mississauga .. and the irony is that I live minutes away from where new PRs come to take oath.

I can ask again. I know it doesn't hurt. Let's see.

Only issue I have is why tell a person that a decision is made then dead silence it's just wrong and cruel.

I guess Ms. Iqra Khalid is still our MP in this area. You may want to email her. iqra.khalid@parl.gc.ca
Inform her of the recent situation. I know that her office is diligent in responding back.
Hopefully inshAllah you will hear back from ircc sooner than later.

AlhamdoLILAH. Seems your whole process was completed within 12months and few days. Thats a great sign that perhaps the timelines are getting shorter.
- Did the person being sponsored, had ever travelled to Canada in the past? Or did they stay outside Pakistan for 6 months?
-Was the sponsor a PR only or Citizen?

Congratulation. did you get the passport back from near ICC office

Looks good news, your process will not take too much time now, it will take few weeks because your file has been opened now.
Last year's almost applicants (mid of year) is taking process time more than normal time after Russia and Ukraine war start. A lot of number of student and refugee cases froom Ukraine during the war at LVO. As per government policies, the put those cases on fast track and other application for PR residance put besides. Now LVO Load is going down and other cases are going up.
I will recommend that you must contact your related MP, then you may get more help and fast to complete your case.

Regarding the expiration of your medical, they will send you again request for new medical. As soon when you have renew medical , hopefully you will have Pre arrival letter and passport request within 2-3 weeks

We get our passport back with Permanent residence Visa today and other PR documents. I hoped you will get very soon too.
