ah i didn't get that Nagz, because for some people, it says " we have received it for example on the 10th and we started studying it in another date".
but it's ok. i mean they say the duration of the treatment (for example 13 months), starts from the day they get it (and not necessarily start treating it), until the day they make the final decision.

all the answers in this posting are based on the experiences of the people active in this forum, for accurate and fully reliable information, please visit CIC website.

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.



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)
