Hello everyone, I have been away from the site for a long time. My husband and I were not successful in our sponsorship (including appeal) and we have been forced to live apart for several years now because we were unable to meet the criteria under the Harper government. We are preparing to apply again. We were assessed as being unlikely to be a legitimate couple due to differences in race, age and financial status despite submitting a great deal of paperwork, photos and so on. We have now been married for nearly 6 years and continue to live apart (work/ financial necessity). If there is anyone out there has any wisdom for us, we would greatly appreciate it. We do not know what more we can do to "prove" that our relationship is legitimate.
This is rather unfortunate. I will advise you seek letters from a religious leader of your church/mosque
Hello, everyone. Please I submitted my application in April with a medical result (upfront). But I received an e-mail five days ago requesting for another medical test. I wonder why the previous test couldn't be considered instead. Could it be that it wasnt sent to them from Canada? Is it likely to have been deemed outdated (I did it in March, 2018 and my wife submitted the application in April in Canada)? Please, anyone with helpful tips should enlighten me on this. Thanks a lot.
The system has recently changed, now you have to wait for medical request from immigration which has to be done by a panel physician. http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx
After the medical exams is completed the physicians forward the result to immigration. This could be a reason why they have requested it now again.
So sorry for your situation. I would definitely bring this up with your Member of Parliament, get the best immigration lawyer to prepare application, and start process again. Remember, we are now under a Liberal government that promotes both family reunification and multiculturalism. Wishing you the best.

The whole application process varies for everyone. It is about 10 to 15 months on average to decision (lately about 12) and an extra one month for getting visa back. Because every case is different there is no way to exactly pinpoint when someone's case will be finalized unfortunately.

After medical it takes 5+ months to hear back from AVO. The entire application process is on average 12 months (anywhere from 10 to 15 months) to the decision. Then it takes about 1 more month to get visa back.
