How to contact Canadian Immigration Department for spousal sponsorship in Pakistan

After applying for Canadian permanent residence under family immigration program, you will not hear any thing for about a year after stage one approval. Try not to contact immigration office during this time because they haven't started reviewing your file yet. If you are really concerned or if you don't hear a long time after that, you have three options to contact the visa office.


  • First one is to call them on the numbers given on the websites. http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/pakistan/contact-contactez.aspx?lang=eng.  This is not the better option because you have to wait for long times and most of the time you wont get a detailed reply.
  • Second is to email the visa office. This should be the preferred option as it is the fastest way to communicate. Email address of Islamabad office is isbad@international.gc.ca and London office is london-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca
  • Third option is to contact by post. You can also send documents of proof of ongoing relationship with your letter. Address of Islamabad Visa office is 
                                                   High Commission of Canada
                                                   Diplomatic Enclave, Sector G-5
                                                   Islamabad, Pakistan

                                                   Islamabad, Pakistan 

 Here is a sample letter.
