The first time, it took them 3 weeks. But now it takes them a week to get back to me. I believe, they send the request out too, and so as soon as they hear from IRCC they get back to me right away. If this is your first time, it might be a couple more weeks before you hear from them.
3 weeks? wow that’s a long time. it’s better to order GCMS notes if they’re gonna take 3 weeks to get back to me :/

How long did your MP take to reply back to you? I sent an email last monday and still haven’t received any response
Call and make an appointment at the MPs office. Best way is to have an in person meeting. They will make sponsor sign a consent form and then they will inquire from LVO on your behalf.

hi all, i was asked to post this in this thread.



Hi everyone,

I have a question about the nikkahnama copies. as you may know, there are 4 copies of it, marked original, duplicate, triplicate, and quadruplicate. Each has original signatures and original stamps/attestations.

my question is, when applying for spouse, do i need to send the one marked "original"? i have not received the one marked original from Pakistan. mine says duplicate, but it has all the original signatures taken at the ceremony.

looking for an answer from Pakistani's who have applied for spousal sponsorship with or without the one marked "original".
I checked my Nikkah Nama and they were not marked original, duplicate etc. So we just got any one of them photocopied and notarized.

I suggest you to use the one marked original in order to save yourself any further inquires from LVO regarding original nikkah nama.

MM345 is right. We submitted photocopy of Urdu nikah nama as well. it didn't say original or duplicate. We got it attested, notorized and got the english translation attested and notorized too. MM345 I can't remember reading anywhere that "original" nikah nama was required just to prove genuine-ness ?. RIght ?

Nikkah Nama is the most important document to prove registered marriages in Pakistan. In case of this person, their original Nikkah Nama has 4 copies (as provided to everybody) and their 4 original copies are marked as original, duplicate, triplicate, and quadruplicate. They are worried which one to use for submission.

In our checklist, we were asked for copies not original documents.

Hey, they clearly need additional documents/forms. Why don't you provide them what they are asking for?
They havent received any correspondence of request of add docs. Probably missed.

What has helped me is putting a enquiry via "report a technical issue". I uploaded my additional documents but there was no clue as if they received them or not.
I asked them via a enquiry, and tadaaaa i got reply, on same day status was changed too.
Give it a try. It's no harm.
Would you like to be added to the spreadsheet?

I am applying under spouse sponsorship as my husband is a canadian immigrant. what is the meaning of canadian national by decent, naturalized canadian

Naturalization: The formal process by which a person who is not a Canadian citizen can become a Canadian citizen. The person must usually become a permanent resident first. (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/glossary.asp#naturalization)

Whether a person is a Canadian citizen by descent depends on the legislation at the time of birth. Generally speaking, any person who was born to a parent born or naturalized in Canada who has not actively renounced their Canadian citizenship is a Canadian citizen by descent (known as first generations born abroad), regardless of the time of birth. Please read more information here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/rules_2009.asp

HI All,
Please UPDATE Spreadsheet

I have received an email on 27 Sept 2017 that my file is being transferred to LVO for further processing.

Also
last thing i updated was SchA and PCC on 15 sept.
question is would they send me an email or will they update MYCIC when they start doing background checks.
because it still says "we need more documents to process your application plz refer below." on MYCIC. this has been there before i submitted SchA and PCC, i guess they haven't updated it yet.

any info will be helpful.
Thankyou.
