Hi, need to know the pre-medical step here.

Did you upload that pre-medical confirmation receipt with your application under the "letter of explanation " upload option ?

as you have mentioned it " Oct 7 medical passed "wondering how did visa office acknowledge that pre-medical ?

Hi,

Did you write in your application that he is your dependant in your PNP app?
Did you try to answer the letter of refusal in your current application? and you attached it with the application?

Kindly help. We would like to reapply. The VO said that we didn't demonstrate that we are in common law relationship. We have tons of evidences, but I believed I made a mistake in filling up the date the last date we lived together I mistakenly put in present.

And also, can we also use his last medical? He just got it last August and I think it is valid for 1 year.

Hope somebody can help.
Thank You

Hi butterfly11

I am really very sorry for late reply. I was out of country for one month and didn't got chance top go thru the forum. Yes i put in my pnp letter and also mention in explanation letter that my spouse is my dependant and also he will be dependant in my PR app. You can upload all docs by making one pdf file and make the size smaller and upload with explanations letter or with the passport of your partner.

Best Wishes

Hi Vagaur,

No worries, we are still finalizing out letter for our SOWP application. Maybe we will just do a paper application again as we are in a common law relationship and we have tons of evidences, it will be a lot of work if we do it online. We'll see though ;)
How was your application by the way?
Previously we applied using my PNP cert, now I got my AOR we will attach it as well..I will also say that he is my dependant. Im just worried about if it might affect our application. The only reason of our refusal is because of our common law relationship, we made a mistake on the dates we put in the IMM5409.
Hopefully, the 2nd try will be good. My partner submitted before in VFS Hongkong, unfortunately all fees including service fee were not refundable. But crossing our fingers, the 2nd time will be approve.
Please let me know about your updates.
Thank You

Hi buterfly11

For me there was a lot of mess. Processing time from India is 4months I got decision in almost 26 days as refused. Reason was other : spouse noc which is not even a reason in my case as I am a pnp holder. I guess the immigration officer didn't even read my explanation letter. Now i have sent an email to their supervisor in Delhi India for reconsideration as the reason was Error in Law. Fingers crossed hopping for them to reopen the application as it was my 2nd attempt and I am really disappointed with immigration system how can they be so careless. Anyways good luck with your application give them as many proofs you can provide your pictures chats emails or anything proving your relationship.

Best Wishes

Vagaur

CIC seems to be taking an unusually long time in processing OWP's...
I applied online on 10th Oct (from within Canada), and no update as of yet.

Any idea what to expect?

Be patient my friend.... my WP took 6 month an 24 days for approval, some people get their approval sooner. My advise is after the processing time expire start calling and go to your MP. sometimes is worthless but for me works. Good luck!!
