Asalam-o- Alaikum everybody my friend told me about this forum its really helpful

couple days ago i recieved a letter from islamabad office
they have asked for IMM8, schedule-A (IMM5669),IMM5406 and supplementary information form

they have also asked me to pay $490 to case processing centre in canada for right of permanent residence

i just have some questions did they ask everybody for this many forms and how long will it take after submiting these forms and would it b a problem i went to pakistan for 5 months now since we are so close in process

help plz

Wasalam,

Yes they ask everyone who has been waiting since 1 year after sending your docs as they expire after 1 year (Medicals, Police Certs, IMM forms, Supplementary Forms).

After this request you will usually receive a request for a re-medical if your medical has expired after a month or 2 (sometimes more).

Then after the new medical and the documents they requested are received it takes them a month or so to place them on file.

After this your file is in queue for review by immigration officer for about 1-3 months (sometimes more depending on background checks).

Finally you will get a letter for Passport request which means you have another 1 month (sometimes more) before you get it back.

And regarding your longer than 5 months current visit to spouse question I hope a senior member with more insight will shed some light on it.
 
please advise.
has anyone recently applied for their child's canadian passport at chc isb? It has been almost 2 months since i appleid but hhaven't rreceived it back till now. Any idea whats goiing on?
 
as salam o alaikum,
I would like someone to suggest me on this. My husband is planning to visit pakistan. Is it possible that both of us could go to canadian embassy at islamabad and try to find update about our case. Could we just walk in to embassy or we would need an appointment? Also, is someone here who has tried to call embassy and find out about the case status. I tried few times but it goes to the recording that if i know the name of any agent in embassy..actually it gives few options to press but i never got to any live person.. Is there any particular number to call?
thanks,
 
there is

as salam o alaikum,no way to contact them over the phone you can just email them, no point going to embassy they won't entertain you.

HELLO maryam your cousin in pak would fill all those forms, but he needs to designate a person in canada (on pr or citizen) who would email the request on his behalf.

for example, my husband filled in the necessary forms and designated me to request caips on his behalf..so yeah the answer is yes, he can get caips..provided he authorizes someone over here to email the forms.

if his wife his here, he can authorize her

CAIPS is an acronym for Computer Assisted Immigration Processing System. It is part of the Electronic Data Processing (EDP) system used by the Canadian Immigration offices to process visa applications. Information is entered in the system from application forms and supporting documentation submitted by applicants for immigrant

hope this helps
