He is giving wrong direction. He may don't know what is talking. He may trying to get the money from you.

You send e mail regarding your case send all your and husband information to LONDON Visa office directly. You will get response very soon. I hoped your case is on final stage and will get Pre arrival very soon
did you get response from LVO?

An immigration consultant from Islamabad have told my husband that people who applied last year (2021) will not be approved ( their applications are automatically cancelled by IRCC because of COVID, they'll have to apply again and pay for everything ) thats why its taking forever to respond. Is this some kind of joke or what???
its a sign that you and your family should stay away from that jaali consultant, who is full of .....garbage. IRCC cannot simply just cancel hundreds of application. Citizen sponsors can file law suits against IRCC.

I recently learned that CIC - understands the difference between Nikah, Rukhsati and Walima ceremonies. When you guys provided pictures of marriage ceremonies, was it only Nikah aur Rukhsati as well?
In my case, our plan is to first do Nikah, apply the outland application, i return back to Canada to continue my job. Once my future spouse's visa arrives, I will then go back to Pakistan, attend Rukhsati, and bring my spouse to Canada with me. Thats the plan. Is it unusual for Canadian sponsors marrying in Pakistan? Have you guys heard of it?

I fear that perhaps CIC will say, since at the time of application only Nikah was done, no rukhsati no walima happened - this is not a standard or usual marriage - as per pakistani norms. Do you guys know of any such cases, where application was rejected for these reasons? Do you guys think, this could be valid ground for rejection?

No not at all, that cannot be the reason for rejection, In fact I personally know two persons who applied with only Nikah and got approved in a reasonable time. In your case they can only ask you for more proof of a genuine relationship. I personally suggest you to be confident enough. I applied for my spouse by myself and got AOR and medical done.

I have heard in the news that the visa office has shifted back to Islamabad after 10 years, is it true, will it help to decrease the processing timings

So quick update we got a pre arrival services letter. This was just today. Is this a sign of good things to come ?

What time lines should I be expecting and what would be next ?
Feeling really happy today like a glimmer of hope I really hope I get a passport request now ... fingers crossed.

The internet is definitely echoing the same news - that Abu Dhabi visa office is moving back to Islamabad. I checked the link and it opens VFS global site. VFS as far as I know, is indian owned and operated franchise with expertise in Visa processing. Seems IRCC has outsourced it to VFS - hopefully that speeds up the process.
