I am July applicant and got a message to redo my medicals. It expired in January so I believe there's hope.. let's keep praying for more good news.

I hope good news is right around the corner for you.

May I ask which exact day you applied and when you got sponsor approval?
 
Hey guys,

I received a response to our letter campaign to the minister's office today. See below

Dear xxxx:

Thank you for your correspondence of March 13, 2017, addressed to the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, concerning the status of your sponsorship of your spouse’s application for permanent residence. We apologize for the delay in responding to you.

I am pleased to note that our records show that on February 15, 2017, you received confirmation from the office in Accra that your file is currently in queue for review. We understand your wish to have your wife join you in Canada as soon as possible. I wish to assure you that family reunion is a priority at IRCC and that every effort is made to process applications under this category as quickly as time permits. Officials will be contacting you and your spouse as soon as the processing of this application is complete.

Thank you for writing and expressing your concerns. I trust that this information is of assistance.

Sincerely,

Congratulation, I am very glad for you and your family! I also wish everyone waiting to hear similar good news very soon. So now according to my experience the visa office goes according to the date the application was filled not the date it was transfer.

Thank you for sharing this information with us very useful indeed. I think it would have been better to tell you what stage the application is at the moment than just say the application is in queue for review which is very general.

Congrats oo my dear!
 
Hello everyone, I am very happy to announce my hubby and stepson have their passports with their visas, and will finally be coming to me on June 25th . Thank you everyone for your kind words and support, I will always remember your encouragement through my tears. To everyone dont give up! We did 5 years of marriage , 4.5 years of CIC issues, but in the end there is victory!

To the very end there was issues, we prepaid for dhl, on Friday we got the email from CIC stating the passport was ready for pickup, we promptly called dhl, who informed us they only go to the embassy once a day at 11 am and also we needed proof from the embassy sent to them to pick it up. I was so frustrated, but sent them the email from the embassy, the email address given did not work. My husband then had to go to dhl in person on Saturday, he showed them the email they reassured us it would be picked up Tuesday morning as Monday was a holiday. Needless to say , Tuesday morning came and went, no package. I made a complaint and was told they would not attempt to pick up our package because they had not received proof from CIC. I then sent the proof once again. This led us up until today with them still refusing to pick it up, stating CIC has to call them and order pick up. My husband was furious and ended up sitting in the dhl office for over an hour refusing to leave until he had the package. Eventually they went and retrieved it at which point they then harrassed him for id, this was after all the phone and written complaints ,plus 2 in person visits. Eventually they had him open the package to show them his passport. Talk about frustration. Be prepared in case this issue comes up, DHL will blame CIC, it made no sense to me at all....we paid for a package , how can they refuse to go get it??? Anyways, all is done now, Im very happy for everyone receiving ppr now and for those others, it will soon be your turn, you just keep the faith, complain when you need to, ask questions, email, keep pushing and be on top of everything! your hard work will pay off!
