    MANILA V.O. ~~ done with MEDICALS and waiting for PPR (passport request)

    Hi all, With recent changes to the skilled worker program, if not impossible, it's very hard to get Canadian PR without a decent job offer. There are a number of recruiting companies in Canada which are taking advantage of the new regulations. Simply put, they hunt smart and qualified...

    thanks raha. it's hard to verify, but seemed to be all spouse sponsorship applicants. For instance, one applied through immigration lawyer and took about 17 months. i hope people don't waste their money on lawyers... unless it's a special case.

    My wife picked up her passport from Ankara. She said more than 10 people were in the room before 1pm and everybody got their passports before 2pm. Once you get PPR, stop being anxious, the rest is just routine process.

    I agree with you it's good news. Processing times for India and China has increased. Our efforts and protests are paying off. I have good reasons to believe, they processing times in Ankara will stay around 6 months. As the first step is taking around 3 months. The average time end to end...

    once the craziness is over, most of the applicants must get their PPR in less than 6 months. So he may not have lots of time! on another note: in china and india the process takes less than 4 months (average 5 months means many get it in less than 3 months). thanks to active people in this...

    Yes you should. The new regulation is sort of iffy. My wife redid it on May 14 and she got PPR last week. By the way, she did not email the receipt as it was done and advised by some people in this forum. We just tracked the package to ensure it was received by the medical centre in Paris. Our...

    thanks amir, i understand they might return the passport earlier, but that involves some risk.

We will...

    my wife still still is doing research for the best option: 1) mahan/iran air costs about 600k tomans (flight and hotel package) but the flight schedule does not match. from Terhan: Monday morning, return to Tehran thursday which means she cannot submit passport on monday and cannot pick up on...

    Thanks a lot! I have to confess our documents is not as complete as yours. Because our relation was less than one year old and mostly long distance. I also recall some cases who took more than 20 months. Once they got their PPRs, it turned out they did not even have official marriage...
