Hello,
I am applying for my brother for his spouse application. I am not hiring any representative.
Some questions:
How do i put together this application proffesionaly? Like do i scan all documents and place them in a specified order?
What originals are required?
do we courier or mail to sydney? or mississauga?
my brother and SIL got arranged marriage, she is in pakistan while my brother is canadian citizen living in canada. they are distant relatives, got the rishta through a connecting relative. baat pakki nov 2021, married in pakistan in jan 30, 2022.
this is what i wrote for description let me know if it is understandable and clear please:
**** The marriage was arranged between both families. The proposal was initiated by the sponsor’s aunt, Samina Kamran, who is a distant relative to the principal applicant’s parents.
The parents spoke to each other on the phone regarding the proposal for Nabeel and Zainab. The parents were aware of each other’s norms and values as they are distant relatives. The respective parents spoke to Nabeel and Zainab if they would like to marry. Sponsor, Nabeel, asked his brother-in-law, Taimoor, to share more information about Zainab as Taimoor is Zainab’s cousin. Taimoor was able to provide information on Zainab for instance what her personality is like, her photos, her education and small details.
Nabeel and Zainab exchanged contact information and communicated through Whatsapp. They both also spoke with mutual relatives to inquire about each other.
Nabeel and Zainab both came to the conclusion that their parents are more wise and experienced when it comes to finding a suitable partner and gave their consent for marriage to their respective parents. The principal applicant and sponsor’s mom spoke to each other over the phone and agreed to tie the relationship between two families. ****
Let me know of any tips to apply for a smooth application process. please, will highly appreciate it
thank you

There seems to be some discrimination against the Pakistani applicants - about 9 months and not a single PPR, not even a single Pre Arrival Letter.
Many applicants from other countries start getting PPRs within a few months. For online applicants, there is no ECAS update either until now.
US, UK, Hong Kong and many applications from India are also given priority.
Have you people felt the same going through the tracker sheet?

The 9 months is hard to believe. You must be missing something.
Faster background checks.
Different VO, they're not processed in London.
Variations are normal. Not all countries are the same.

Obviously I am relying on the data that people voluntarily enter on the google tracker. No Pakistani has received Pre AL / PPR. since June 2021 as per the sheet. They seem to be not too bad with UK applicants through..
Islamabad and other offices in Pakistan would be expected to have highest number of emergency or other Afghan applications and the like. Not saying this is the issue, but would make sense.
IRCC does seem to try to re-balance things from time to time between offices but this doesn't always proceed in the order applicants would think intuitive (i.e. oldest first).
I don’t understand how 9 months is “hard to believe” since we’ve been waiting from Feb 2021 for an update, and we haven’t even received pre-arrival or decision made…
We received pre-arrival letter last month, and background verification status changed from not started to in progress last week. July 2020 applicant though so this is well overdue !
It’s hard to believe that in 9 months not a single Pakistani applicant received pre-arrival or decision or PPR. It’s not hard to believe that one applicant, for example you, hasn’t heard in a while. Do you see what I mean?
Hello, I'm a Canadian citizen living in Canada. I got engaged to a girl in Pakistan, we are planning to get married there over the summer break. How long can I expect to wait to sponsor her for Canadian immigration? I would really appreciate if someone could guide me regarding current wait times. Thank you!
If you think you application is strong enough like you can present evidence and prove your relationship is genuine with chats/pictures/call logs. you can apply right after weding(obviously after she get her new cnic and passport with your name) and marriage certificates.
There is no wait time before you apply, as long as your case is strong, you should be okay
