    Invitation letter ?

    They should have really applied from their home country. Applying from a 3rd country weakens their application. How long will they be in the US? You can include supporting documentation but approval will be primarily based on the family’s own documentation not yours.

    Parents and Grandparents Sponsorship 2021

    Were you the one who applied for citizenship in 2026? If so you didn’t qualify to apply for PGP in 2020 which could be an issue. This is a comprehensive security screening.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    Not guaranteed faster processing if already in Canada. Really depends on the specific case and as quotas have decreased wait times have increased. There were a few years where quotas were extremely high so that lead to faster processing. If your mother entered on a supervisa she can continue...

    visitor visa for language school

    Processing time is not guaranteed. Chances are extremely low that you will receive a stamped passport to attend your language program. You should have applied months before you did. Also although your school may allow you to start late, even with such a sort program, Canada will probably want...

    visa extention refused with 'leave Canada immediately' statment

    You can technically apply for restoration but there is a very good chance it will be denied. Would not compare your situation to others in 2024. Canada is much more focused on temporary residents leaving Canada. Why are you wanting to try to extend your stay in Canada while not able to work?

    2024 PR Application timeline

    As someone else has pointed out you can’t use your old passport for anything or that could put your status in Canada at risk. Using your home country passport is still considered reavailment and in your case would be considered traveling under the protection of the country you claimed you...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    No issue. Pre-arrival is purely procedural and is sent any time after eligibility. IRCC tries to minimize how many times parents have to do their medical so that is one of the reasons you don’t get it right away. You should monitor your email and check your junk mail just to make sure you never...

    Updating your address will have no impact on processing but yes you are supposed to inform IRCC as soon as you move.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Would work with a lawyer. Nobody can predict whether you will be reported when you enter Canada. You’d only be able to apply for PR card renewal based on H&C in Canada and you should remain in Canada during processing. How much time did you spend in Germany? Whether you can remain separated...

    Has anyone heard back from IRCC after responding to the procedural fairness letter after bill C-12?

    Not sure but whether considered active at the moment or not is just procedural and doesn’t actually mean much given the situation.

    Passport return process for voluntary departure

    Whether CBSA returns your passport or gives it to the airline depends on the situation, airline, whether you are on a direct flight, etc. For voluntary departures if you have always been cooperative with IRCC most likely you will be given your passport or you can ask if it would be possible...
