Hi Lav,

Did u receievd ur gcms notes?
I received my GCMS notes today and based on reading it. it seems my husband will be called in for an interview (this note was added in March but until no emails about interview. My husband lived in India and they need some clarification on that (it seems). As well as it seems most of the work has not started:
Eligibility Assessment, Criminality and Security: NOT STARTED Medical: EXPIRED (his medical expired in April)
It seems like nothing really has been done as of yet... how long does it take for them to call someone for an interview... they added a note in March that an interview is needed how come no emails from them regarding the interview yet? I am depressed now :-(.. been 3 months no emails for the interview. and after interview do they reject/issue visa right away or will that take months.

I live in Toronto and my husband is working in Colombo. You are right, some people get the visa as little as 3-4 months. It does not go by first come first serve basis. Time frame should be same for everyone. We don't even know whether they are actually working on our file and just letting it sit in a pile for a while.

Yeah they just dont even care to look at our files thatz watz happening i live in mississauga.. We r not far from each other I guess

From my understanding after having the interview they wont say it right away they call you after 2 or 3 days to inform you the result and if you are issued visa they will ask you to come pick it up.. Cuz one of my relavite had an interview and she did live in india and study so they asked about that but then it was fine she got the visa and now in canada..

Hi Lav,

It depends ...some time they will request your submit passport after few days of interview if they already complete your security and criminal check already.. if not then they will take more month to clear those checks
