They entered via international airport in Canada. He last came before my daughter's birth and she is a teen right now :)

Thank you very much - I appreciate your assistance. While he did not live here, they were submitting their taxes on an annual basis and have investments/bank account here. Not a good reason for H&C, but a little bit of 'established' factor. May I inquire where I can read up more about a...

Technically, he has not lost his PR. It would be taken away at some point, if he were allowed into Canada and it was identified that he did not meet his residency obligations. Is renouncing PR a requirement to apply for an entry visa under the Ukrainian program? I see it as a vehicle to enter...

Yes, it looks like applying for the Ukrainian thingie may be the best option. Now, should it be me applying on his behalf, or my mom, since she is a citizen and this will be 'family unification' technically, as my dad is considered her 'family member'?

They received their PR status together back in 2000s, but my dad, unfortunately, did not want to live here. My mom went back and forth, maintained her PR status and eventually became a citizen.

My dad received his PR more than 10 years ago, but he left Canada more than 5 years ago and did not maintain his residency obligations or renewed his PR card, Now, with the war in Ukraine, I want to bring him back, as it may not be safe to stay there any longer. What are available options...

As you know, there is terrible war going on in Ukraine. My extended family is in the west of Ukraine, but they are having almost daily missile strikes and it is getting worse and worse. I've been encouraging them to leave for Poland asap and hope to bring them to Canada. Their situation is as...

Hi all, Would it be possible to apply for a passport within Canada and once it is ready, to send it outside the country?

You should have received detailed instructions with what documentation to have prior to/ during the interview. In our case, prior to the interview we were asked for scans of passport pages confirming when a person left/entered Canada. The interview was very quick and basically a confirmation of...

I tried all options, including with entering the UCI, and it did not give an option of speaking to an agent ... told to listen to FAQs or go back to the first menu ...

I am English-speaking and there is no option of being transferred to an agent. When I press 0, it says such option does not exist.

Can you please let me know what number you tried to call? I've called the generic number and there is no option to reach out to a person - all prerecorded options. Thanks!

Thank you very much, dear Scylla!

Dear all, Could you please recommend a phone number to call Immigration Canada ... the above links don't appear to provide any way to contact someone in person. Thank you!!

Thank you, Bellaluna and Seym, for your comments - they are much appreciated and in fact a beam of sunshine in the current situation.

Hi all, I have a unique situation. My Mom is in the process of finalizing her citizenship process. She recently passed her interview and was told to await the invitation to the citizenship oath ceremony (she is a senior, so she does not have to do tests). I understand, based on the stats from...

We can certainly prepare documentation and request a travel document. But is there anything else we can do to influence the local office? I am interested in experience of people who were in the same situation. I feel like the government is not providing a good service with these unreasonable delays.

No, she does not.

Hi all, My mom has been a permanent resident since 2004. She had two instances when she overstayed her term outside Canada and in both cases was allowed back to Canada on humanitarian basis. After that, she travelled back to Canada two more times and in both cases met her residency obligations...
