Hey everyone,

Few quick questions regarding the application, what should be the validity of a police check from Pakistan? My husband's police check was issued last year October, 2014 but there is no expiry date on it. We didn't apply earlier but I am applying for his sponsorship this month. So is it good to include the same one or should we have a new recent one? Also, do we require to have his medical done and submit it with the application?
My husband already came to Canada on a TRV for our son's delivery in December, 2014. Should I include that as well with my application, his trip was a month long?

looking forward for the answers.

Thanks.
Police check (for CIC) is always valid for 6 months from the date it was issued, although they usually doesn't ask for second police check, but I would advice you to get another one so that you don't get a month or 2 wasted just because of that.

Second yes upfront medical is mandatory and you should submit.

Third for TRV, yes you are obligated to include all his personal history (travel, education, work, unemployed etc) from the age of 18 till now. ( I left a 4 months gap in my wife's, and they recently asked me to resubmit the whole form ) also they have all the related data to your passport so don't even think of hiding anything from them, it can be harmful for both of you and may be termed as misrepresentation.

Congrats bro :)
Kindly start to gather all these documents and send them as soon as possible, this means your case is opened they will also send you a request for remedical soon too, so keep an active look out on your emails also when you send all these documents, make sure you provide them enough proofs so that they don't ask you for an interview.

Yes you are 1 step closer to PPR :) MASHA ALLAH :)

I would recommend to order GCMS (electronic case notes) to begin.
See if you can check the notes for any comments by CIC as to why interview is required.
(has to be something related to marriage anyway).

Use CIC website for ordering GCMS notes (by sponsor), user fizz1234 had link in his signature for help if necessary

Re: SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

Once we get a medical re-assessment request.Are they background checks done after or before the medical. How much time does it take Delhi to send them to Lvo and on with the next step. Also do we get PPR request after the Ecas status changes to In process or can we get it while in Application Recieved. Thanks
