alright, just wanted to ensure... also, step two of passport is only sending passport, return address slip and two passport photos correct? should i use TCS or Jerry's... also are they really returning passports within a week's time or are they still taking more than few months as they used to for some.... for me it won't really matter as if its back in a week's time good if it takes 3-4 months still good coz my wife's brother's marriage is in FEB... we are due to send in our passport in first week of nov (30 day wait period requested - are people actually even following this request)...
Judging by people's posts on here a couple days ago.... they're not sending passports back within a week's time.... many people have been stuck for months

I am a March 2013 applicant. File transfered to London in Feb this year. In Sept, they asked for original Nikah nama and certified translation. These were sent 2 weeks later.
In Oct, my wife received Re-Med and payment of RPRF.

"R117(1)(a) of the IRPA defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner.

I note you have submitted an English Nikah Nama and a civil registration document as evidence of your marriage to your sponsor. However, you have not submitted an Urdu Nikah Nama. I therefore have concerns regarding the validity of your marriage. As a result, it appears you may no longer be a member of the family class. Therefore your application for permanent residence may be refused."


I just recieved this email! Is this a bad thing that they say my case may be refused?????!?!? Or is this the email every one gets when requested extra documents?!? PPPlleaase some one help!

It is quite normal and this email is their default response when they don't see Urdu Nikah nama. For some reason they can't fathom Pakistani's can understand English or our legal docs are in Urdu & English[London VOs conveniently forget they invaded this land and stayed for 100 years]

Same is the case with their understanding of Rukhsati. People here submitted Valima pics and VO still inquired why they haven't done the Rukhsati as he/she didn't find any pics labelled "Rukhsati". You might as well take pics off a birthday album and mark it Rukhsati and they will be none the wiser

Salam sister if you are a Canadian Citizen do you have a place to rent or a home? as this is an important thing that you need. If you don't it makes sense that they are putting you in interview mode. One thing is you must have proof and they will ask in the interview. Since you are in Pakistan you will also have to attend the interview as its on the letter they send by mail. Don't put yourself in a mess. I myself think its unwise to go away from Pakistan while your husbands case is at this point but in the end its how you decide. Like if your at the end almost why put yourself in harms way at this point.

I tell you myself I had proof of living accommodations in Canada while living in Pakistan. I know it will be hard but its better to come back to Canada get living arrangements set up and if possible you can go back to Pakistan. I pray Allah makes its easy for you both and all the members waiting to be reunited with their spouses In Sha Allah..............

Please keep us in your prayers as my husband will be arriving in Canada on Friday, please pray he has a safe trip.... In Sha Allah

Micmac101
Walakum aslam Micmac101,

Jazak Allah for your response dear I really appriceiate it and understand.
My friend has a place for me and our daughter to stay. I have emails stating this information. Can I send these emails as a form of proof and also will be getting our tickets to go back to Canada in the New Year will this help with a letter stating that we want to return to Canada asap due to the political situations arising in Pakistan.

In Sha Allah you husband has arrived safely in Canada. I will keep you both in my duas in sha allah.

ASyed :)

Thank you for sharing your experience. I submitted my file on 08-Aug 2014 and still waiting for Sponsorship Approval.
I want to know that are you sure regarding 33 months timeline to be applied on every Pakistani applicant?
I called CIC regarding the timeline and i was told that the timeline is applied according to visa office not the Nationality of applicant i.e. if my file goes to london directly then 11 month timeline should be applied on me.
But still that was just a call center operator and his words are not that authentic. I want to know did CIC actually told your MP that timeline for Pk is still 33 months?

Thanks
Well I don't think that it depend on visa office and if yes then why they say 33 month for pakistani as now IVO has nothing to do with spouse visa
