@legalfalcon I have applied through FSW-O for just myself. My father recently passed away. Am I to inform IRCC of this? Also, I am already in Canada on a student visa. Thus, the fund proof I uploaded for my PR application, those funds have been transferred from my home country bank account ( the proof I uploaded) to the Canadian bank account. Do I need to upload the bank statements for the Canadian account now? Thanks!

No, it is your application and you do not have to inform of your father's demise. Sorry for your loss.

If you have moved your funds, you do not have to inform IRCC, however, keep the transfer documents safe, if IRCC asks for an updated PoF, then you can inform them.

Hi All,

My AOR for Express Entry application for FSW-O is Sep 4 2020. I got married in June'2021 ( 9 months after AOR) and updated IRCC for the same. They have sent a request of documents for me to submit where the first one is the Form IMM-0008 - Generic Application profile.

Now as I have already applied via express entry, how do I go on about adding my spouse to this ?

Do I file under 1.Family Program - 2. Spouse Category with my wife as the principal applicant (with no dependents)
or Should I file under Express Entry (which I have already applied for) as a principal Applicant and add my wife as a dependent. The confusing part is that when I try to add my wife as a dependent , it's asking for a dependent type A,B,C in the Dependents Section which I feel is for child dependency only based on the IRCC.ca website. Any help regarding this would be helpful as I am scratching my head around with this.

Thanks.

@legalfalcon - any prompt help regarding this if you can please

@legalfalcon I will appreciate if you can clarify the following.
I have been nominated through SINP and my Paper based application is under process with CIO. Once I get my COPR, I am planning to go for a soft landing and later after serving my commitments, I will migrate permanently in a year time.
My first question is:
At the time of landing in Canada is it mandatory to give an address in Saskatchewan to the Immigration Officer for PR card delivery or I can give the address of my sister who resides in Ottawa.
My Second question is:
If it is possible that I as a primary applicant do the soft landing and return back to my residence country while my dependent wife can move permanently to Saskatchewan if in case the option of providing Ottawa address will not work.
Thank you in advance .

Hi guys,

for those who are FSW applicants like me and have been waiting for months and are not seeing any move in their GCMS nots, yesterday it is published on cicnews.com that IRCC has processed only 7000 FSW applications in 2021. Now if you also check an older post on cicnews.com that mentioned the number of the applications waiting to be processed in IRCC inventory, there are 100 thousand permanent residence applications of which 48000 are CEC. So, today there are about 50,000 FSW applications waiting in IRCC inventory while IRCC with the current pace is processing only 7000 per year. You got the message, IT IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING! this means that we have to wait for years to get our applications finalised. Meanwhile, IRCC is processing 14000 CEC applications only per months!!!

I think we as FSW applicants must do something, please suggest what we can do to oblige IRCC to process FSW applications. petitions, legal actions, through parliament members. what you guys think we can do?

CEC Will be cleared soon, if they don’t change priorities, it will be cleared early Feb. January they will probably change processing priority, so processing of FSW should drastically increase. They are capable of processing 14-16k Express Entry apps per month. 3 months of their processing capacity can clear FSW.

Yes they have the capabilities but there is a big IF, if they decide to change priorities, that's what I'm not sure about and I think we should oblige IRCC to change priorities

It’s not really a matter of IF. There will no longer be CEC backlog to work on soon after, even without them changing priorities in January.

The reason IRCC has not been processing FSWs is not CEC backlog. Based on what published information you think there will be a change in priorities in January?
