happy 6 mths tomorrow
i felt so excited when we hit the 6 mth mark too! I don't know if it was relief at having made it six mths or what but it was oddly comforting anyway! It almost feels like we are on the homestretch now!| Question | Answer |
| What is PPR? | PassPort Request. This is the final stage of the process in which the visa office asks the applicant to provide his/her passport in person or by carrier. |
| While waiting for my sponsorship application, can I apply for a tourist visa? | Yes, you can, but the chances are very low. Because it's hard to prove that you have strong ties to your home country, given the fact your spouse lives in Canada |
| While waiting for my sponsorship application, can I apply for a student visa? | Yes, you can, provided that you have an admission from a well-known canadian university, you should be able to get your visa, but you will still have to go back to your home country when your sponsorship visa is ready. otherwise it may take a while. |
| how can I contact the damascus visa office if I have a question? | email to damascus-im-enquiry @ international.gc.ca (sometimes their mailbox is full, try again after a few hours) |
| my medical is expiring, what do you think I should do? | Normally you should wait until the officer asks for redoing the test, however, in our discussions, we came to the conclusion that it would not hurt to redo the medical test and have the receipt ready. If they issued the visa and did not ask for the new medical, you have lost only some $200 but if they want you will be at least 5 weeks ahead of the game. In short, it is recommended to redo your medical 2 or 3 weeks prior to the expiration. same applies for police clearance |
| is there any way to express our frustration to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada? | you may fill following survey by Sep 19, 2011 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/consultations/index.asp (here: http://cic.sondages-surveys.ca/s/immigration2/?l=eng) or you can sign a petition here: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/Familyreunification |
| What is RQ | it stands for Residency Questionnaire. it's a stupid process which is exclusive to Damascus office. They want to make sure if you are still residing in Canada. |
| how can i join this forum? | provide your detailed information in a posting under this thread, a volunteer will append your info to the list. everyone in this forum is obliged to inform everybody about any updates about their spouse sponsorship applications in Damascus. Damascus office is still active more or less and it is not closed due to the situation in Syria yet. processing time provided by the cic are not accurate at all. when it was 10 months, we had quite a few people who got their ppr in less than 6 months. check out the chart for more info. |
| is there anything i can do to help my fellow applicants in this forum? | sometimes little things help a lot. Please inform everyone about any change about your application. you may also set your flag to the country you are sponsoring from or sponsored. this will help the readers to analyze your updates much faster and relate it to their applications. for example, if you are from syria and i am also from syria then we can compare our statuses more accurately. and yes, canadian flag is useless because here everybody is from canada |

LELLO said:Hi everyone,
I havent been on this site for long but I was always reading the messages. Just to let you know, I sent in my file to Mississauga on May 6,2011, got the approval letter for sponsoring my husband on June 8, 2011. My file is now in Ottawa. Checked my file #, and it says DECISION MADE. Called my lawyer, he said congratulations, it is a matter of days that I will get the confirmation letter in writing and then my husband will have to get his visa....Im shocked, because it has been 4 months and a half....OMG im so happyyyyy. So good luck for everyone, but I think the files that were sent to Ottawa are on the fast track....
So if you wanna add my name to the list, it will be great.
