Just wrote my test today. I had my original degree with me, no one asked to see it. I guess if they are satisfied with your English, then they dont ask for it. The interview was a total of 5 minutes. All they asked for was my original passports, copy of drivers license, and PR card. Thats...

In 2011, when I went in for my test in the Mississauga Erin Mills office, there was this tall Eastern European woman, in late thirties. She was wearing high heels, and a very short dress, very low cut, that pretty much showed everything. No one blinked or said anything to her, she wrote her...

Got an update on the website today that the letter for test invitation went out on the 16th. The test is on 7th of Feb. I know that there are allot of smaller entries in regards to what happens in the test/interview, but can someone simply summarize it in one place, what happens first, then...

Same thing happened to my wife. Two days after her medical in July, she got a call from IOM asking the name of the doctor that conducted the original medical exam in April 2011. From what I understand, almost everyone that had their remedical performed in July got such a call, unless they were...

My wife got her Visa in mail today. The entire process took almost 17 months, I originally applied in Canada in May 2011. No interview, no additional information requested, no documents translated by anyone else, I did my own translation. The two things that I did a bit differently was that I...

Not exactly, because I have still not received the passport, it may take another couple of weeks, which will push the case into 17th month.

Early last week, it showed on my ECAS that the medical results have been received. This morning, it shows that the decision has been made. From what I gather, this means they have probably stamped the passport, and I should get it in about one to two weeks. I originally applied on the 27th of...

The rules are clear, your wife will NOT have coverage for 90 days, and you will have to pay for all bills, leading to her delivery. The day of delivery gets a little trickey, because your wife does not have coverage, but the child does, at birth. I have a freind that went through this. He was...

If you read the post, he recently received his remedical request, and passport request. His passport is with the Canadian High Commission, and after this point, his status just change to "Decision made" within the last 24 hours for this second stage. This is very different from the "Decision...

Typically when the status is changed to decision made after the passport request and remedical is complete, then they mail out the passport on the same day, or next working day. This means that you should get your passport by the end of the week. Better start calling the airlines right now to...

If the high commission feels that you need an interview, they will ask you to come in for one. If they are satisfied, and waive the interview, then they will simply send you a passport request and remedical request. In the remedical request, you will find the phone number of a few IMO. I think...

Dont over complicate your situation. Reserve your flight, just dont buy the ticket, and send them the itinerary. You may not be able to travel on the booking you made, but just send it to the Canadian High Commission. Once you get your visa, by hook or by crook, come to Canada, even if your...

Get a comwave phone account. The phone is VOIP, for $30 per month you get a line, plus unlimited calls to Pakistan and other countries. You get a record of every outgoing call. This is what I used, and it was accepted as proof of relationship.

Your file tranferred in Feb 2012, you will probably hear from them in early 2013. Pray to Allah that they accelerate the process for Pakistan. If that happens, you may hear from Canadian High Commission earlier, otherwise, hold tight till early next year.

My wife went to IOM. Three days later, they called to ask for the date of the original medical, and the name of the doctor, nothing more. This information was conveyed over the phone, and they said they are now OK.

The simple rule is that once you land, the PR card is mailed to your address in Canada in 3-4 weeks. You cannot reenter Canada without your PR card. I know people who came, and had to leave before receiving their PR card, and had their family send it to Pakistan later. One possibility is if...

Your not going to like my response, but the reality is, you can do nothing but pray. We all have gone through this process, and have all felt helpless, powerless. Take as many pictures of you and your family, and extended family. Send a copy of your wife and child's boarding card, Passport...

Re: sponsoring my wife I would suggest you use an english nikah nama, which is legal in Pakistan. This way, no translation required.

I paid the full fee in advance when I first filed. This is something someone suggested I do. My wife got her remedical and passport request in the same letter. I sent some additional photos, skype chat etc in May, so this time, they didnt ask for additional information. My nikah nama was in...

I think something is going on here. I see at least 12-13 people who got a medical and passport request late last week. I was one of them, my wife had her interview waived, no police verification, just a remedical and passport request. This means for some reason, a large batch of applications...
