Veritas,

if it says ur approved in eta status believe it then. 2 times i saw my refusal there n the very moment i contacted my lawyer it indeed was a refusal. some people will think it will not give the status but it does. but if ur still doubtful chk ur cic account or ask ur representative if u used one.
Yadav, sadly my 'final decision reached' field is blank. I misconstrued it as meaning that the final decision has been reached.

Really?
But how can I check for mine. I submit paper application. I have only tracking id and reference number.
Whenever you get an email for medical request or anything regarding your application, cic will include the application number for you. Thats how I got my application number. but now a days people can link their paper applications to their online cic account. Try doing that

Yup I also heard many times but I prepare file by Canadian Lawyer and submit paper application. lawyer said they will send medical to his email id. This is my 3rd attempt that's why I am following him. So, its ok to do that because if they want medical or other documents then maybe I know by online but not lawyer. If I create it then lawyer will not know what's going on regarding my process. Can you share me if you have same case like me?

With the blessings of almighty and help from this forum our sowp got approved. It's a really big news for us. It took long 7 months but at the end it was fruitful.
We had one previous rejection for our trv.
Sowp Online application chandigarh, applied on my own.
Applied on 23 February with upfront medical.
Medical passed on 29 may.
Passport request on 19 September.
Passport received on 23 September.
so i just want to recommend here that don't give up. Waiting for 7 months was not easy. We did everything from our end- did cse for 6-7 times and emails too to chandigarh and delhi.
The other thing we did was a feedback and we complained about the excessive processing time.
Than next thing was to write a letter and posted to chandigarh and Delhi offices.
We don't know out of all these efforts which one actually worked for us but I would suggest to do all the possibe options. I wish luck to every single person who is waiting for visas as i know the pain of separation.
At the end i wanna thank to the members especially FKl, mandy,navprateek, harkirat rataul and every single person who posted here to help.

Hi guys
I am a full time student in canada. SOWP of my spouse refused stating funds of your spouse in canada are not adequate.

Please advise me following;-
Q1. In proof of funds one of my account (Approx INR 12 lakhs (approx 24000 CAD) ) was a joint account with my mother. I understand that they would have not considered that.
However, The funds are old (2 years). So should I remove my mothers name from the account, make it single account and reapply
OR
I transfer that amount to Canada Account ?

Q2. If I transfer it to Canada account now, then in that case also I have to wait for 3-4 months to generate bank statement or statement of account of Canada account can be as on date ?

Any expert advise please!!! Thanks in anticipation.
