SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Salams Noor - could you please share what clarification the MP provided you - if it was not private/specific to your case.
There are many on this forum who applied for TRV right after the announcement of Family reunification back in May 24, but very few have got their TRVs approved. And recently, it seems that the Spousal PR processing timelines have reduced drastically to 5-6 months - so it seems CIC is not processing TRVs (yet keeping it open perhaps for income) and focusing on quickly processing Spousal PR.
If there is any insight you can share from your conversation with MP - that will be great.
I wonder which visa offices are processing applications within 5-6 months. My husband's application is currently being processed in Sydney, Australia, known for their lengthy delays in processing visas. We submitted the application in November of last year and his background check has been in progress since April 19.
I feel sorry for your application processing delay. No Two applications are identical - and each application takes its own path in CIC processing.
Recent applications submitted in March and April, have started to receive PPR (passport requests) or at COPR numbers (ppr follows).

Are these applications from Sydney, Australia VO??....i dont know. You can research that yourself. But yes, applications have started to process in 5-6 months, which has never happened before.
I understand that applications have different processing times and how this may not be dependent on the visa offices but rather than what seems like a new trend in processing applications more quickly. It's interesting how newer applications are being processed within 5-6 months, whereas applications like mine and many others who submitted theirs last year are still awaiting PPRs.
It is not hard anymore because you have to fill up a webform now and they give you an appointment themselves. The only downside is that they might give appointment after biometric expire date.
Hi everyone,
I got a pakistani marriage in pakistan 2 years ago but we are divorced now. Since its now safe for me to re-marry in pakistan (I had mentioned receiving threats in a prior post)
but since I'm a Canadian citizen who got a foreign divorce, there are special requirements for my divorce to be recognized by the immigration officer found on the CIC website for when I re marry and sponser 2nd wife:
"If a sponsor living in Canada got a divorce in Pakistan, include proof that either party of the divorce
lived in Pakistan for at least one year before the divorce, or
had a substantial connection to Pakistan, such as frequent visits, property ownership or active businesses there"
My ex wife's sponsership was cancelled by me, so she never came to canada even for a visit and is still a resident of Pakistan. But I'm not sure how to show this as proof as part of the foreign divorce requirements?
Anyone have any experience with proof?

Recently ordered gcms notes. Noticed that medical records were sent to New Delhi. That's strange... Usually Pakistani citizens applications are processed in London. Why medicals are sent to another VO.
Did any one else recently ordered gcms notes in this group.. Can you pls check the section of medical records, where was it sent?
