I received additional document request today!
October 17th
March 29th applicant!

It says they need more proof of our relationship, as I am 3 years older, and didn't send enough wedding photos to prove it's genuine. Let's say, I send them by tomorrow, any idea when I will hear next?

Thank you.
I don't think we can predict when but they should be getting back to you before your medical expires if there's no other doubts. Sometimes they don't update you at all till they ask for ppr.

Make sure you send them lots of pictures and your love letters. Pictures of you two kissing, your travels and with families, not only your wedding. The 3 year age gap is nothing. My husband is older by 6 years. They have not asked us for any additional proof.
We sent them hundreds of pictures. Our package of just printed pictures was huge. We even had a table of contents to navigate through all the pages. It's better to give them more than less.

Congratulations to those receiving PPR and Passport request. There has been no movement with our application.

Feeling very down and negative and all sorts of thoughts are cooking up in my head like"What if they reject it, what will we do?"

Its our 1st wedding anniversary in December and we won't be able to celebrate it together. My wifes medical too will expire end of January and I believe she will have to do another medical.

We fall in love, we get married but CIC decides if we can spend the rest of our lives together. This is so unfair and this has happened because of people who commit the crime of fraud marriages.

All the best to you all.

Indeed, congrats to the people who are receiving their approval letters and PPR.

My wife attended her interview, and I believe it was positive. However the ruling from the Ukrainian court was not enough for CIC so we are back again in the Ukrainian court system for my daughter.
The initial advice from the lawyer was that it could take up to a year, and nothing is guaranteed.
So I believe we will be one of the last people to get PPR from March 2016, if we ever get it at all.
I will be going to visit my wife in a few days and we will have our second wedding anniversary while I am there.

I may not be living in Canada much longer and if I leave I doubt I'd ever come back, quite frankly.

Hey Aarcee,

Don't lose hope. Have you submitted all the documents? If they have not asked you for an interview or additional documents, you're probably going to get a ppr soon and ask you to submit asap. Keep ordering notes. I think I read somewhere that they get notified when you order gcms notes and will likely remind them to check your application. Goodluck.

Thank you for your quick response. Actually it's my husband who is 3 years younger than me, and they say that is against the Pakistani norms. So I am sending proof of us, I am sending over 100 pics...telling me my relationship ain't legit!! My husband also typed a cover letter explaining our age difference, and why we sent less pictures due to guideline of 3907, asking for 15-20 pics.
I am writing who, when, where behind the pictures.
That's good enough?

Do you really think is because of the 3 years of difference in age?
Sorry, I don't have idea how long will it take for they to respond, but I'm just shocked as my husband is 9 years older than me... I hope they don't ask for more stuff...
Good luck!
No girl, don't worry. It's my husband who is 3 years younger. That's why. They say it's not really Pakistani norms. But don't worry, you will be fine

Wow. I see it now. You're right. They seem to only ask for 15-20 photos for Pakistanis. But it also says "of you and your sponsors WITH relatives and friends". Try to include pictures with familes and friends. Yes also write who, when, where but also write a brief of "what". Like "heading to the beach with her cousins" to make it feel more personal. This is just my opinion.

Hi Patrick,

It's on the cic website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp

You've not linked your account to the website at all? My husband also just submitted his passport last week and we're still waiting. They just updated our account. I'm hoping he gets notified to pick-up soon.

hello Aprihl23,

Yes, i submitted everything in detail. We both are divorcees but we had a traditional wedding and legal wedding, no reception though and we did state that in the forms, my wife stayed in BC for almost 9 months on visitors and we have every little detail and pictures attached, my trips to my wifes country. Our Viber communications records, skype, FB, Our joint accounts, and we both are beneficiaries of each other policies, i provided all little details.

Keeping fingers crossed. I miss her you know. I am sure we all do miss our spouses.

Hey, how to request for GCMS notes?

Kind Regards
AARCEE
