Sponsoring wife from Morocco (Mix-marriage)

[simple9999]

Hi All:

I am a Canadian citizen (born in Pakistan) and married to my wife (Moroccan born and citizen of Morocco) since May 2011. My first application to sponsor my wife was refused and I withdrew the application for full-hearing after the ADR. Than I tried to settle in Morocco but difficult to find work there, and came back to Canada and re-submitted the application for sponsorship and waiting to be able to start my life, I hope for the best this time, its way too difficult and traumatic for both of us to live apart.

Here are my timelines:

Timeline for 1st sponsorship Application:

Application sent to Mississauga: June 2011
Application Transferred to Rabat: September 2011
e-CAS status changed to "Medical Results have been received": January 2012
Interview: March 2012 (Refusal letter received via email next day)
Appealed: March 2012
ADR Hearing: September 2012 (Refused and proceeded to full hearing in November 2012, but I withdrew the application in October for full hearing)

Timeline for second sponsorship application:
Application sent to Mississauga: June 2013
Application Transferred to Rabat: July 2013

In the first week of August 2013, requested for copy of Marriage Certificate and translation from Rabat even though it was submitted with the application along with the certified translation when the application was sent to Mississauga

e-CAS status changed to "Medical Results have been received": Late August 2013
