    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    I got the ppr in an email I didn't usually receive updates in. Like, they only contacted me before through that email at the very beginning of the application, when I was linking my application to the online system. After that, they always sent me updates in my other gmail account. Then at the...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    No, you will not receive an email from your sibling's email address. You will only receive an email to either the sponsor, the principal applicant, or any official representative (if you chose to have one). I provided 2 emails of my own as the sponsor, and the ppr came in one of those emails. I...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Good luck to both of you and I hope your apps move along quickly now! Yes the timing for getting the ppr after prearrival varies for everyone based on numerous factors like when they did their medical etc., but it's now November, you're approaching the 1 year mark, and lots of people are...

    Thank you, and hoping you and everyone else gets the ppr soon as well! It's a long journey, but it pays off in the end. We received the PPR yesterday Nov 15 :) . Also, I received the PPR in an email we did not usually get updates in, so make sure you are checking every email you had included in...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Hi, sorry to hear that it's taken longer for you, that must be annoying. Have you tried looking in any other email you included in your application? I just got our ppr yesterday in an email I never got any updates in, but had included in my application as one of the contact emails. The request...

    Hi everyone, got the ppr yesterday, Nov 15th (see my timeline in my signature), thank God. Finally. It's been a long journey. Hope this spreads some hope and sincerely wishing that everyone else is reunited with their spouses very soon. I also have 2 questions: 1.) How long should I expect it...

    We received our pre-arrival letter on Friday. NOTHING else has been updated--the PR tracker doesn't even show any ghost update, even though it says that the last update to our app was Nov 3rd but we got the pre-arrival letter on Nov 11th. So if you haven't gotten any ghost updates in a while...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Hi folks, just thought I'd spread a little hope: I know someone who applied for his wife to come here from Pakistan. Citizen and applied in December 2021. His wife got the pre-arrival letter last Wednesday and then in less than 24 hrs they received the passport request. We also received our...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Make sure to take lots of pics of all functions though, like nikah, mahndi, baraat, and waleema ceremonies, and plenty of other pics showing your time spent together to provide good evidence of your relationship in your application and to avoid them asking for more proof. As for the emotional...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    May you please be more clear in your question? Are you the principal applicant and the husband the sponsor? And does your husband not have permanent residency in Canada yet? Or did you mean to ask can you travel to Pakistan from Canada?

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    No problem, happy to help. If you are a Permanent Resident then it is advisable not to leave the country for trips to Pakistan longer than a month or so (I'm not sure about the time but there is a limit). Being a permanent resident means there is a limit to how long you can stay outside Canada...

    Because the sponsor signs an undertaking of providing unconditional financial support to principal applicant when he/she comes here, the government website and application emphasizes that the sponsor must not be taking social assistance or be on bankruptcy. I haven't seen anything anywhere that...

    Yes, corrected my post to reflect this.

    The financial situation of a sponsor or principal applicant cannot negatively impact eligibility for spousal sponsorship, I am clear on that fact. So generally, as long as you don't have some kind of criminal record, I don't think having some loan debt would negatively impact your spousal...

    It's tough. I think posting about it on twitter, writing letters to Canadian MPs and Minister of Immigration, and doing other things to raise awareness of this issue are definitely good ideas, although I'm still not sure how to go about doing it properly. I'm still thinking about it.
