It sounds like a good plan but I am wondering how easy it is for her to get a visitor's visa to Canada?This depends on which country you are from but usually it is hard for sponsored people because CIC is worried that she may not go back to her country when her temporary residency is over. You...

Hi everyone, My husband came to Canada as a permanent resident this past June after I sponsored him. When the officers printed his confirmation of permanent residence they did not put his full date of birth and same on his PR card. I submitted an application of Amendment of Confirmation of...

The best option is definitely to get married and do a spousal sponsorship. You come to Canada as a visitor, and once you are here, apply for a work permit and find a job. It is hard to find a job in Canada from outside. Then you can submit an inland sponsorship application. Otherwise, just...

No. You will have to take the Police Record Check to a Sworn Translator (Not any kind of translator, he/she would have credentials to translate official documents and would have sworn that her translation is correct and not biased) to get it translated. In Arabic we call it Motarjim Mo7allaf...

Hi Mikey, Eligibility Assessment: 1 <-----------what is this Status: Recommend Interview The 1 next to Eligibility Assessment means that the eligibility assessment is required (In contrary, 0 on GCMS notes means the assessment is not required). This basically refers to the checks they...

It took exactly 1 year after the interview to send passport request to my husband but maybe for females it is faster.

Congratulations! Yes most females from Lebanon get the visa within 4 to 8 months maximum.

It looks like you will receive the passport request soon :-)

Hi manitobagirl, I noticed that the code changed to 19(1) sometime in February and my husband got his passport request in June. You can say roughly 4 months. My husband's security check took exactly 12 months.

Hi Anna, In the second interview that your husband and brother in law had, did they ask questions related to security? As far as I know, the first interview is for eligibility to make sure the spousal relationship is genuine. Only in case there are concerns regarding security or if after the...

Hi Mikey, You probably submitted the medical test results upfront. The third line says that they received your medical results with the application. It does not necessarily mean that they reviewed the results and made a decision about it. Once you get your GCMS notes, you will know if they...

Hi strength2, We did not sign a petition, but one of our group members talked to a guy from CBC news and another TV show and explained the issue. They said they can't do anything because there is no proof that people who applied after us got their permanent residence before us and our...

Thanks Mike. I thought you applied in January 2015 (based on your profile). If you just received the AOR in May, then you are still in the Eligibility check stage. However, if you applied in January 2015, you are probably at the security check stage. Would you please clarify when you submitted...

Thanks sbakhour. Yes it was a long wait and we had a very hard time but el7amdulial we forgot it all the moment we received the email. I know people who have been waiting for over 2 years and my heart and mind are with them. When we first applied, the wait time was 14 months. Then it got reduced...

Hi guys, I would like to tell you that my husband got his passport request yesterday. Inshallah all of you who are waiting hear good news soon and reunite with your spouses. It took 17 months and 2 weeks in total.

Background check starts after eligibility check (basically check that the relationship is genuine) is complete and passed, as well as after medical test is passed. It is done by many agencies, including CSIS, Interpol, NASC, Database Checking & touch-base with Local Police. If you mean the...

Elementary school starts with Grade 1. You do not count the kindergarten years as it is considered pre-school. So like you said: Elementary/ Primary is from 1st grade to 8th grade and Secondary/ High School from 9th grade to 12th grade. In total 12 years. Add to that your post secondary...
