Immigration Forum / Canada / September 2008Sponsorship of spouse and dependent children
Dear experts, I am a Canadian citizen, now a days living outside with my family in Pakistan. I have sponsored my spouse and children some where in the end of Feb,2008. Got a letter in the first week of April,2008 from Mississauga office saying that we have approved/sent your application to Islamabad office. Then We got a letter from Islamabad office in the first week of May that we have started processing your application. Can any one tell me(roughly) when should we expect to have the visas in our hands. I called the office but they refuse to tell me any thing on phone. I also sent an email from within their website but got no response. Should I send them an email/fax/letter to request about the status and also to expedite our case as soon as they can giving them some reasons? Thanxand regards Spousal applications have all of the documentation and medicals done when they are submitted. Thus there is little reason for the visa office to contact you or your spouse. According to the CIC the New Delhi office completes some 80% of such cases 6 months or so from the date they receive the file. You should be hearing from them soon. There was little use in contacting them before then. It is obvious too that about 20% of their cases are not completed within 6 months. Those will be cases where there are questions about the marriage or medical or security problems.

Jim Thanx a lot but I would like to add that my file is not in New Delhi office, its in Islamabad office. The computer generated letter sent to me by Islamabad office showed that it might take 6 months, but when I called them a guy told me that we can't give out information but your case might take 10 to 12 months. Stephan Paul, thanx to your reply. I already saw that table for the time line. Sorry to say that its really confusing 30% in 6 months, 50% in 7 months......etc etc I dont know where should I put myself. How ever my mind is clear now that I should not contact them as its useless according to your advise.

Should I inform the office or not. By informaing them will it slower or faster the process? > Spousal applications have all of the documentation and medicals done when > they are submitted.

They wrote her that your sponsor do not meet the requirment of Artical 130(2) of the immigration act. Your spouse must live in Canada at the time he was sponsoring you or he must prove that he has plans to permanatly settle in Canada. The Visa offer wrote that he is not satisfied. He demanded for detailed plans settlement in Canada. I am really upset as I wa expecting Visas in near future. Please advise me what can be a solid proof to show them. If I Send them an offer letter for job as well as a lease/rental agreement for my stay in canada. will it be ok? Secondly will it help me if i tell them that I may take admission in the university and study? I really really wana go and live permanantly in Canada along with my children. But I dont know how to prove it to them. Please advise. Please revert > Can any one tell me(roughly) when should we expect to have the > visas in our hands. The recent timeline can be seen here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/05-fc-spouses.asp#asia > also to expedite our case as soon as they can giving them some > reasons? Very unlikely you can get your case expedited. Probably the only way to get it is to have the minister of citizenship and immigration herself write a specific instruction to expedite / prioritize your case. If your case missed the normal processing time by a couple of months, you may want to get the immigration records of your case by getting CAIPS record through Access to Information or Private Information request. This will reveal the actual visa office opinion about your case.
