Asalam-o-Alaikum Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you guys had a wonderful ramzan and eid.

Well next year I will be tieing the knot with my
beloved and right now I am just doing research about
the spousal application. MASHALLAH!!! the forum is very
helpful and your inputs/experiences are greatly appreciated.

I have few questions and I am hoping to get a detailed response
from you guys.

I know the waiting period for the spousal application to get processed is very long
so why most candidates do not apply for TRV? I understand for husband
cases it is not encouraged in our society for men to leave their
jobs for extended period of time just to visit their wives. But what I have
noticed from these forums is that many male sponsors have also not applyied
for TRV for their wives. Is it very hard to get a TRV or maybe its because of
socio/economic issues??????

Also once I file for my spousal application what should I do to ensure
that I get a TRV for my wife??????

Please give detail answers. Waiting anxiously for your replies.
Regards,
newbie1982

AH
Application rejection rate for TRV is fairly high, and thus it discourages most to apply for one... There is no harm in giving it a shot, but you have to convince the immigration dept. without a doubt that your wife will most definitely go back to Pakistan once TRV has expired. I have seen cases where applicants presented tons of proof (bank statements, letters etc.) and yet their application was rejected.

Prepare a strong case/application if you want to take this route. Chances are slim, but you never know... you might just get lucky :)

A friend of mine suggested to me to get my wife to go to CHC-Islamabad to ask about the status of her application...is this even possible? or is there a location where she can go to ask for an update? the online still shows application received and I have not yet received GCMS notes...I just thought if this can help get more information then that would be great.

Yes it is normal, not necessary that ecas must show Canadian address for every members. Mine is ecas changed to decision made on August 15 and address remain the same. So don't worry much. Not only us but also other members same they are still waiting for their passport back with visa.

We all members who got decision made before eid or during eid will get passport back with visa tmrw or Saturday. InshaAllah :)

i have read b4 on this forum tht they do not entertain any canadian citizen unless its emergency or passport lost.

the best way to get info is to get in touch with ur mp and ask them to find out the status of the application.

I have tried that, first problem was to enter diplomatic enclave without an appointment, but I had my office card which luckily is located near CHC-I so I passed that stage, in fact I drove my wife all the way to CHC-I, however hogaishaadi is right, they asked us on the main counter what we need to speak about moreover they said “if there is anything about application currently in process in CHC-I, then you should refer to our website, unfortunately we cannot entertain you".
So I asked few things about my daughter’s vaccination, as she was visiting Pakistan for few months and came back, i would say it was a waste of time... senior members may have a different opinion...

Is there anyone here who got PPR via email cuz the medical was expiring and they asked if you can land before it expires?

In this case have you sent the passport and how long did it take to get it back?

mine is such a case, my medical expires on 25th Sep meaning I have to land before that; the passport was delivered last thursday (17th Aug) but don't know when its going to come back.
your case is special
i have seen one other such case time line does not matter for you
as soon as you send the passport they will stamp visa and send it back to you
for a normal case it take anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks to get visa stamped but for you they will give you visa as soon as they receive the passport inshAllah
