SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

[Alhumdulleh]

yes, i booked flight via PIA and after ban, they said contact us after 23 May 2021.
i too am looking for alternative options and found that Turkish airline option is better. they too perform PCR test at airport and give result in 5 hours. layover time at Istanbul Airport enroute to Toronto is 5,55hrs. its cost effective,

for Etihad and Emirates , these are way to expensive.

But u have to get turkish visa to take the test. Because its not within departure area or something

I am curious. A lot of people here waiting anxiously for so long to reunite / see their spouses. Have people applied for a TRV or not considered that as an option?

very difficult to get a trv if the spouse is canadian

Ya that's what I was reading. Transiting passengers can also do the PCR test and receive the results electronically. The only thing to consider now is how fast countries are banning other countries and obviously how worse the situation can get.

I agree - but still > 0% chance, no? Which is what we have if we don't apply. I would suggest everyone giving it multiple shots. You never know.

Hi Guys,!

for second marriage , for an application at what stage they look into divorce certificate, is it under sponsorhip eligibility or after the file transferred to visa office?

I agree - but still > 0% chance, no? Which is what we have if we don't apply. I would suggest everyone giving it multiple shots. You never know.

100% of those who do not apply for TRV don't get one.

How long does it take for medical to reflect in GCKey online?

I applied, figured why not what do I have to lose besides the application fee. Even that moves slow so we see how it goes.

That is very smart. So many of us applicants are helpless in this process. Only thing we can do is roll the dice. Better than doing nothing or just waiting.

I looked into this. They have banned Indians and Pakistanis from transiting though to Canada.

This is from the official news release. What are you on about?

• The Minister of Transport will amend the Interim Order Respecting Certain Requirements for Civil Aviation Due to COVID-19, which means for passengers who depart India or Pakistan to Canada after 23:30 EDT April 22, 2021, via an indirect route, they will need to obtain a negative COVID-19 pre-departure test from a third country before continuing their journey to Canada.
