I'm not sure if that visa office sends out an AOR. If they don't it is normal not to hear anything.

I think because you are married and have children together they are less likely to call your husband for an interview but you never know. If they want an interview he will have to go to Morocco but if they waive the interview he will just need to mail his passport.

Rabat does not send AORs, but if the file is transferred I am sure it is there and is in queue. The timeline is 8 months from when the file gets there, but in some cases they complete it within 5-6 months.

If you and your husband are both moroccan there is a greater chance your husband will not be called for an interview (50/50).

If you are not moroccan, have different background/culture/religion chances are he may have an interview. I do not know if they will take you having kids together as consideration to waive interview. In Rabat majority of applicants have interviews

I have never heard of Rabat allowing for passports to be sent in, based on my experience and the experience of others in this forum, and some moroccan friends here in Canada, what happens is when visa is ready to be issued the Canadian Consulate gives an appointment for a specific date/time to which one has to present themselves with the passport for visa issuance/receipt of COPR in person. I am not sure if based on the fact your husband is already in Canada they would be willing to do this by mail/courier.

Inchallah in your case as both of you are moroccan the interview will not be necessary. And also possibly because they see your husband is in Canada they will allow you to just courier the passport. Also since he is here it may be possible he doesnt need the visa in passport but only may need just the COPR document, with which he can go to closes Canadian border and "flagpole" (but I am not sure in this procedure)

For timing of when they will contact your husband, it won't be much longer, maybe 1 or 2 months more to wait.

Alaf mabrouk It looks like you may have the baby in Ramadan, that is so wonderful. Me and my husband are expecting too, its our first baby and due in 5 months.

If you have any other questions or need anything let me know.

Thank you so much for the information you are awesome, I'm even happier for you now that you guys expecting a baby in 5 months, what province do you live ? And how long it took your husband from the actual day the file was transfer from Mississauga Ontario to the day he went for his interview please ? Thank you

 

[jomz]

Anytime
We are in Calgary, Alberta.
His file was transferred from Mississauga to Rabat on December 4, 2013 and his interview was on March 25, 2014 (they only gave him 5 days notice of the interview date by calling him in his mobile).

 

[Aicha2014]

Cool only took him 4 months that's awesome
we are in Vancouver
If you ever come to Vancouver Welcome here anytime
Are you Moroccan as well ?

 

[jomz]
