    Ankara Visa Office Applicants Check in here! :)

    When Visa Offices reach their quotas, they can't issue more visas in the current immigration year. Ankara VO hits their quota around December every year and they stop the process in December and start issuing visas after new year from the beginning of January. I advise everyone to be...

    It's almost impossible for Ankara losing any document in your file such as a police certificate. When they receive your file they scan every document and create a generic ID. Also CIC does they same. Police certificates have to be original documents and must be be translated to English/French...

    Well here is the official link of CIC waiting times for Spousal Applications: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm/fc-spouses.asp It says Ottawa CPC is 15 months not 3-4 months. Those numbers are showing the max waiting. If I were you I would stop blaming Ankara.

    The situation of Syria and closure of Damascus increased the application processing times in Ankara twice longer. Nowadays Ankara is packed with refugee applications. The limited number of staff is not enough for concluding each application in a speedy way, but they still do their best. As I...

    If the applicant used to live in Turkey and came to Canada after the application with a valid visa, there is no problem. He doesn't need to go back to Turkey. You could explain the situation and write the applicant's new address in Canada and VO will send the passport there. In this case he only...

    It's not a good idea to try to get her a visitor visa. If you the spousal sponsorship application already submitted to CIC, 99% her tourist visa application will be rejected.
