Ombra's Last Time Here Hey guys, This is going to be my last post here on this forum. Congrats to all of you who got your status changed -Application or Visa- and congrats to you guys whom just got your visas! Welcome to Canada in advance, you will LOVE it here! My wife and I landed about 5...

Arian and negmeh, Thanks for the kind words. To answer your questions I went into the embassy not the immigration office nor the VAC. I had a few BAD arguments with 3 people and the 4th person I yelled at said that he will look into it and 2 hours later I got the notification and picked it...

Thanks. I guess these are my final replies here.

Mrs. , congrats. I'm happy for you. Guess what, I just my wife's passport with the visa. I raised hell. But it was worth it. 2 hours later I got the email and everything fine.

Keeponwaiting22, The first time you change your flight will cost 100 euros. The second time will cost 150 euros. I did go to the embassy on Friday and the guy basically told me that they don't care about how much this is costing us. I'll let you know what happened when I come back from the...

Keeponwaiting22, my guess is as good as yours. Right now I'm staying with my wife and I'm hoping for the best. But I'm not sure what will happen if she has to stay here for a while. My wife has no passport to go anywhere, she is officially stuck here. I think the guy was just promoting his...

Hi, I got your first question covered. It's a bid of an older hotel. Close to my hotel, it's overall 30-40 minutes from the embassy. The beds in the normal room - $120/night- don't look like that they are the greatest. The Cafe is like a little better than a fast food sitting area. The...

Hi sunny_day, I hope not, what is happening to me should not b happening to anyone else however given that there's only one embassy in turkey and that's the one down the street from where I am, I think your husband's visa may be delayed too, I'm sorry. Th only reason why they said istanbul will...

Don't worry man. My application went into processing between the 6-7th month and was in process for 1 week. They will get back to you soon.

Thanks Mrs.KOR, that's what gets me going. K so I found out a few more things that might help everybody else save more money. -i took one for the team lol- there are 3 major hotels that are close to the embassy; Hilton, mona and Sheraton. Hilton and mona are literally 30 seconds from each...

Thanks aribc. I'm happy for you man. All this wait is finally paying off. I need everybody to pray for me to get this passport back asap. This whole waiting for the passport after waiting 7 months is getting tough lol

Aribc- that's the issue, they have my wife's passport and she can't even leave turkey so I have to stay with her. The problem is that there's absolutely no time frames given. Like the guy said at the VAC, hope for the best. It seems like, this only applies to the immigration/sponsorship visas...

Hi Sadly no, they said they have no clue how long it will take. Keeponwaiting22 is right. Here's what I have learned so far: 1- they said it's a printer issue, however my dad said that a similar thing happened at the USA embassy they also said it was a printer issue but it was a security...

Mrs.KOR, I really hope they get this fixed ASAP. Noone believes that a printer issue could last this long. Thanks Mrs.KOR, Fingers crossed

Thanks She. D, yeah fingers crossed The pictures are 3x4 and you will need 2 of them, they have to have the date on the back of them + the applicants name.
