Oh boy! I repeat DONOT send 20-30 pics.. when they write 20-30 pics u also need to understand that Pak is one country whose files r closely vetted for fraud marriages. Do u really think u can assess anyone's relationship in 20 photos? I dont think so..atleast i wouldnot.
Better to send 50-70 pics.. max that will happen is that they woll shred it! Let them. But if u get a add doc request later trust me ur process will becum.painfully slow. Expect delays of upto 3 months on cases witj add doc requests.
We had a limit on photo numbers but we skipped it. I sens around 70. Very carefully chosen. My majority pics were witj family. Group.photos, selfies at posr marriage parties etc. Shadi ones were when we signed nikaah nama, ppl gathered around making dua after nikkah, group photos of both sides, rukhsati pics in the car, doodh pilai and kheer chatai rasm, cake cutting.and getting out of the car. Point is pivs shud be representative of the entire event. Like a brief walk of all the events on that day :)
Thanks! Yea i felt the same way. 20 pictures is very little but was really confused because they used Maximum. I will send more and like you said if they decide to discard them thats their decision.

ALHAMDOLILAH I received a letter via email that I meet the requirement for eligibility as sponsor on May 28th and schedule form A will be sent in 5 business day. CIC also updated my ECASE mentioning about decision.
As I mentioned earlier that on my ECASE CIC wrote that they sent me correspondence on may 26th to provide information...........
I wonder still I did not get May 26 correspondence and not submitted anything, how did they made decision without getting information
can any one explain this.
Also my wife got medical request on 29th and we booked appointment for that. please update on spreadsheet

I wrote something like this in mine. You are encouraged to change the wording :)

File #: XXXXXXXXXXX

Dear Canadian High Commission,

I am sending this package to embellish the existing proof of relationship documentation that was submitted at the start of the Spousal Visa application with more proof of the relationship between me, <PR Applicant> and <Sponsor> from the time of submission of initial documentation to date. The reason for sending this additional documentation is to <insert reason here>


In this package you will find additional proofs establishing relationship between my husband and I, including but not limited to phone bills, emails, call records along with proof of financial support by my husband. In addition, the package also has pictures and proofs of <whatever events you have proof for wedding, post-wedding, honeymoon etc.> Please note that the documents and pictures have been put together from disparate sources including <where have you gotten the docs from>


<Refer to any special condition to your marriage for e.g. Nikkah before Rukhsati etc. Also mention where is Sponsor currently and where is PR Applicant currently>

We hope that you find our supporting documents complete and it enables you to make a decision soon so we can be together in the near future. If there are any further details required, please feel free to reach out to me at the details below.

Thank you,

Yours Sincerely,

<name>

| <Phone> | <email> | <address>
Cam u plzzz guide me ...what reason should i write in explanation letter

Alhamdullilah got my PPR today . I am Aug applicant . My best wishes with all . Re medical was done in the start of May.

I have few questions . I have to submit passport at VFS Lahore Office .
Please confirm below mentioned is the right address ?

Canada Visa Application Centre
20 Ex American Centre Building,
Opposite Ganga Ram Hospital,
Queens Road, Lahore

Email: info.canadalhe@gerrys.com.pk

In PPR , they also mentioned to submit two pics . I was wandering that do VFS office has their Photograph facility at their lahore office ?.
Once I will submit my passport then VFS will give me a receipt with tracking number ? Once my passport will be back . How VFS will inform me ? Do i need to go back to their office to pick the passport ? .

Thanks
Congratulations!

Yes, the address s correct. I do not not know if there is a photo facility at the Lahore VFS, so please take photos before you get there.
Yes, once you submit your stuff with fees (Rs. 1500) they will give u receipt with tracking number. The 1500 fees include sms service, you will also receive sms notifications and you can track at the VFS website as well. (Trust me the tracking is useless. I have been waiting since 14 days and no movement yet, my passport is sitting in a store room i guess :( )

You or any close relative can go to pick passport,but do submit it yourself.

Also, please provide your information so we can add you to our 2016 spreadsheet:

Most of the times, LVO takes time to send PPR emails/letter in mycic account...other times emails are missed by the applicants.

Please see that rprf is paid, not pending.
Applicants email address was correctly provided in the application forms.
Check your mycic account (if any)
Follow up with your lawyer .

When you have done all that, feel free to email lvo.

Vfs processing fee is Rs. 1500 including sms service.

I doubt that, you visited those places, didnt live there so this cannot be the reason as i also traveled to several places and it didn't take long for me.

So yes RPRF was paid when initially submitting the application.
Mycic email is working since i recieved a new msg notification at the same email when they asked for re medical.
There is no lawyer involved.

Do you think i should wait out this week and then send an email? Or is it too early still?

Ok, so just like you received a notification for re-med, you will get a notification for a new message (ppr). There is no harm in sending them an email today even, its just a reminder :)
And you are almost done with the process, IA you will receive PPR soon.
Want to share your details for the spreadsheet, please?
