Thread for July 2011 applicants

[awor]

If you entered your email on the application, you might (or might not) get approval emails from CIC.

Based on hundreds of posts here.... ecas is useless, all it does is gets people upset and worried, and then falsely happy, when updates happen/don't happen. Not being able to sign in doesn't mean anything, and having it show approved shouldn't be relied on either, because they might have updated the wrong account! They should just do away with it if they don't have the IT people to fix it.

When they ask for client id just do not respond. the machine will ask you three times and then forward your call to an agent.

Asak Quiet Storm,

They are working on applications recieved on July 7, 2011 and the processing times are 60 days. So if you can tell us what date your application was recieved in Mississauga, then we can give you an approximate date. Your sponsor will either get an email or a letter by mail saying that he/she has been approved sponsorship. Your file will then be transferred to Islamabad, and the Commission at Islamabad are not sending out AORs (Acknowledgement of Receipt) which has the file no. However, applicants at Islamabad email the VO and manage to get their File Nos in a few months time.

Also, the arranged marriage and the fact that you are first cousins will not negatively impact your case because it is acceptable in Pakistani culture. The VOs are aware of this and this will not raise any red flags. However, the nikah case might be a problem because applicants with only a Nikah case are getting objection letters stating that the marriage is not genuine. This has led most of them to get back to Pakistan, perform the Rukhsati and then send the VO more proof. So the only Nikah case might prove to be a problem. The current processing times of Pakistan are 24 months.

Hope this helps For more info you can join the Islamabad thread here: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/chc-islamabad-spouse-sponsorship-timeline-2009-2010-t28775.0.html
