    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2019

    DM2 on March 10, but no news since. The parents have been in Canada since July. Calling the MP office was ineffective. Finally got an email yesterday saying that we will get a call shortly for a phone-landing from the CIC office in Kitchener. The officer asked for first and last entry into...

    Bill C-6: Senate stage

    At the time of the initial application, the job of the initial VO is to weed out applicants who are looking to abuse a study permit as a front to immigrate to Canada. Breaking news for you: people's intentions change after living in Canada for a few years. Some hate it here or find better...

    Bill C-6: Senate stage

    1) Get your facts straight. Pre-PR time only counts up to 1 year towards residency requirement. 2) The student/foreign worker has paid taxes, contributed to the economy, and is better integrated into the Canadian society compared to the immigrant who arrives in Canada and holds PR status from...

    Expect long delays for PR card printing. Problems with CO-PR are by far the most common reason for delays. They will let you in, though. That your CO-PR has a couple error does not negate the fact that you are a permanent resident.

    I landed August 29-2014, I got my card Dec 9-2014 (two days before my departure). It was such an emotional roller-coaster. The reason it took them so long was because the CBSA officer who did my landing by mistake gave me back both copies of my CO-PR. I realized this shortly, went back to the...

    You do not PR card to get into Canada, whether it's between Canada and the US, or Canada and between any other country. Visa and PR card are issued are mainly issued for airlines to appraise the admissibility of the travel in the destination country and minimize their risk. It took me 4 months...

    A similar problem happened with my payment form. My CC number changed before they had charged it. I ended up emailing them and they promised they would do their best to attach the new form before it gets processed. What eventually happened was that they had already processed my file with the...

    Just realized that the CBSA officer gave me both copies of CO-PR at the border! Guess that explains why I do not have my card yet. What am I supposed to do!
