Hello I am wondering if you guys can give me your opinion. Im a Pakistan Canadian dual citizen and married my wife in Pakistan back in Feb 2022 in a very simple marriage ceremony and we have a 10 month daughter together. I have all other proofs except my marriage ceremony has very limited photos as we rushed it due to my medical reasons and also because I didn't realize the importance of having proper marriage with all the functions and capturing them on camera . Since then I have been gathering many proofs(marriage documents, financial, visiting my wife, living together, post marriage outings, whatsapp, raising of our child) but I am not sure what to do about marriage photos.

I have pics of us sitting with few relatives and nikah video but nothing of rukhsati as her house is right next door and we casually walked over to my house. But our rukhsati did happen as we have a 10 month daughter. Do I need to explain this in my application or just ignore this part since its obvious my wifes rukhsati had to happen to have child together?
We have many post marriage outings and pics together with our daughter, but they are mostly just selfies, so as I am currently in Pakistan, do you recommend I host a dinner with friends, relatives and include pictures with them to show their support or further if I should go on a couple days trip together with wife to show there is no restraint on our relationship? Please advice?

Just for information, I recently applied for my daughter's Canadian citizenship certificate and hoping to soon apply to sponsor my wife.

Wow...my first reaction...either im making some grave mistake in understanding the whole situation or .....the incompetence of IRCC is just giving me a severe headache. Not sure its deliberate or by default. Wait - whats your address in your WP application? is it the same as your sponsor's address?

First thing - you need to focus on your LANDING AND COPR DOCUMENT NUMBER. Have you got those? If not - send a webform, call, call again, and .....call one more time.....harass them!

You need to secure your landing date - much much ...and much earlier than any date in december!!! Is there any way to expedite it? Perhaps do it at Calgary (Carway) border, instead of Vancouver....etc

The moment you are done with landing, Work permit .....and this letter is trash!

So once you have all the answers related to your landing and hopefully an appointment date at border much earlier than 28th Dec, now focus on this letter. Have they given you a link or chance to respond back - or is the case closed?

if its open - then send them screen shots of Family Reunification program and all CIC webpages - where they have mentioned that you can apply for Work Permit once you are in Canada. Just write a very short cover letter, saying ---
Dear IRCC officer,
There seems to be some misunderstanding, oversight in my case, or some drastic policy change, because this refusal is ILLEGAL and is completely against the policy publicly announced by CIC. I have provided the screen shots of your website where it says that one can apply for work permit once they are in Canada - as long as their Spousal PR application is in process. This is exactly what I have done and your letter is either a mistake done by an IRCC officer, or some kind of oversight.

Please review my case, based on the publicly declared policy of Family Reunification program announced May 24th (or 26th) 2023.

Thats it...send it...to IRCC....your local MP...

Meanwhile - hopefully your landing would have been completed by November 15th!

All the best.

You know that you can apply for visit visa extension. Even if they give 60 days, I guess that will do the job. And Im not sure why landing is taking that much time. Isn't it virtual landing in your case?or you have to physically go to the border?

I am on visitor visa, visiting my husband and my status will expire next month but i am outland applicant. my file was transferred to montreal from overseas and queued for virtual landing because i email LVO after that i am inside canada now. I am going back because i am unable to extend my stay. will it effect my ecopr? I really don't know but I will not suggest everyone to do virtual landing and wait for COPR.
I applied work permit after entering canada and found that ourtand applicant can not apply for work permit. Work permit is only for inland applicant. so my work permit application was refused.

Now it's matter of time but anyway i booked my ticket two days before my status expire.
PLZ pray for me

[alk0494]

how long had you been waiting for virtual landing? You couldve extended the visitor stay

UPDATE: my address got updated on the tracker to my Canadian one but still no email for virtual landing

Can you give some estimate of how many days it took from the time you informed them of change of address, to this change actually changing in your profile?
