I have received an objection letter from CHC, Islamabad along with Residency Questionnaire. This is about Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. My spouse came to visit me and left. But it seems CHC-Islamabad is concerned about his return to Canada. The questionnaire includes questions about re-settle in Canada and asking to give some proofs like year bank statement, credit card detail and Income Tax returns. What does this all mean and will this further delay my case? Can anybody comment on this situation?

Victim of March 2010
Please be specific a little bit more on your question for best assistance. Is it an objection letter due to marriage/relationship gennuiness? OR is it an obejction letter due to residency obligation.?

If due to residency obligations then please provide them the flight return boarding cards, passport copy where it shows stamp, if your spouse is currently working a job letter will add best value to this, a credit card/bank statement shows the recent months transaction, a copy of lease/rent or mortgage is also helpfull. Any type of bill which has your spouse name and address on it will be also helpfull. All these will indicate that person is settled in Canada. Is your spouse a Canadian citizen OR Permanent Resident.?

You will get your PRC in one to 1.5 months.

After three years you have a right to file citizenship application and then it takes one to 1.5 years to get to the Oath (each province is different in giving Oath waiting time so waiting time could be less too).
There is a condition to stay 1067 days (== to ~three years) in Canada before you actually can file your citizenship application.

Funny thing is after three years you will be again on same chc website to watch your ecas status and also maybe we could find you on some citizenship forum too :).

So in total, keep ~five years in your head to get to the passport (if in first three years, you are going in and out from Canada a lot then it could take more time).
Salam.

Thank you ONE 2 KA 4: It is due to residency obligations. I wonder if this is normal and some other members also received such letter. We will arrange to provide as many proofs as we can but now so much concerned that our case will be linger on for another 2-3 months. My spouse visited me and does this visit weaks our case?

Objection due to residency obligation is not a big concered if your spouse is already living in Canada before receiving such letter. Please provide as much documents you can from the above mentioned list. In Canada obtaining those documents is not a big task infect its just a matter of printing online. If attaching any type of bill (Phone/Cable TV/Internet/Electricity) it is good idea to attach atleast last 3 months bill and make sure to attach returning boarding cards copy and passport copy these are your best tools to indicate that your spouse is back in Canada.

This type of objection doesnt really delay the case, in my opinion file has been almost completed but they just come across on the residency to make sure that sponsor is not living in PK but in Canada.
 
Residency Obligation Question?

My PR card is expired Since August and My wife PR application is pending since October 2010. I have not met residency requirment and have applied for PR renewel which has been approved and card is waiting in toronto office to be picked up.
I am delaying this pick up because dont want them to know that I havent met residency requirment and hurt my spouse sponsorship application.
Also not sure whether Embassy will ask for New PR card before approving my wife case?
So my question is when CHC first review your application and ask you for more Imm. document do they ask you for PR card of your spouse or not ??
What else they ask you after first review?
