Accepted but No Visa Yet?

[aloutab]

Hello!

I sponsored my husband in Lebanon for the PRV in October 2015 and the immigration office emailed him about an interview in April 2016. At the end of his interview, the immigration officer told him that they will contact him to come get his Visa in 2 weeks to 2 months. It has now been 2 months and 14 days, so I'm thinking of calling them. Did anyone have the same issue, or does anyone know what we should do?

Thank you!

did the visa officer tell your husband that he was satisfied with your relationship by the time the interview was over? if so, then he has passed eligibility and they are most likely doing background checks. see my response below if you're not sure whether he passed eligibility.

why would it would take longer than expected?

they're either still not convinced that your relationship is genuine, or the background checks are taking longer than expected. no one here can really tell you what the actual reason is for your case, but we can tell you how you can find out.

1. your quickest option is to have the visitor go to their local MP's office and ask for a status update on the file. go here to find out who your local MP is: http://www.lop.parl.gc.ca/ParlInfo/compilations/houseofcommons/memberbypostalcode.aspx?Menu=HOC

2. your second option is to order GCMS notes. these can take 30 days to arrive but contain much more detailed info. see here for steps on how to get GCMS notes: https://sites.google.com/site/canpakvisa/home/gcms

my advice would be to go to your local MP first, and if they tell you that you still haven't passed eligibility, then order GCMS notes.
