Hi,

I'm not sure if my application will be processed in Ottawa or at Paris. I'm a Canadian Citizen but my spouse is an Algerian Citizen currently living in the States as a permanent resident. Any input would be great.

Kind regards,
Dida

hi sa3sa3 well just be patient 2 weeks from in process to DM its an average , if you saw the spread sheet for paris applicants the time change from in process to DM , for me my ecas updated to in process 23/06 , and i sent requested documents 02/07 , and then got email from paris 20/07 and ecas updated 21/07.
the decision for issuing visa was made 17/07 so its 2 weeks from the day i sent requested document .
but it took paris visa office 3 days from the day they got decision till the day they sent me email for passport request.

hi dida04
for us citizen ottawa is the visa office processing the application , because you spouse is residing in US cic will decide the visa office based on residence country of sponsored person in this case will be ottawa .
if they decide to send the application to paris visa office , then you are a lucky cause paris is one of the fastest visa offices .

Hi you guys (and girls), my e-cas status just changed from "application received" to "in-process" yesterday (August 21st 2015).

I do have a few questions however, how big are the chances that they will request my passport as I am a Belgian citizen currently in Canada under a Work Holiday Program. Second question is, how big are the chances that I'll have my VISA issued (and as a result my work permit) before my other work permit expires (Work Holiday Program VISA or IEC VISA, will expire 14th of September 2015)

Thanks to everybody for their reply and good luck as well :)

well if you saw the spreadsheet of paris applicants the time between in process to decision made vary from 1 week till 3 weeks but the average is 2 weeks .
and they will only request photocopy of your passport in case they need , otherwise they will send your COPR at your residence address in canada .

Hello members

I am at the early stages of sponsorship process to bring my wife to Canada. I only received AOR for stage one. I noticed in the discussion and on the spread sheet - Additional Documents requested

Can you please clarify what do documents are requested?
At what stage ?

They request the missing documents from your file or the expiried ones. They may also request more information from you. It depends on each case

Some are wondering about the number of people that got "IP" in Aug!

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/in-process-does-it-still-mean-something-t337953.0.html

It is 20 days for me and no communications yet.

I see 2 lines only in my ecas !

Any news from other who got "IP" lately ?
