    Former PR applied for ETA

    How did you apply for an ETA if you are waiting for a PRTD? Have you renounced your PR status?

    These aren’t actually reforms just directions of how H&.C should be evaluated with minor changes

    Former PR applied for ETA

    What do you mean by your children under 12 being in distress and waiting for you? I assume they are with someone in Canada and not alone. Not sure what their status is. You must also have a plan B just in case you are denied entry if you aren’t able to enter Canada if you are a visitor.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Whether your kids can attend school will depend on the Province/school board. If they have already mentioned needing a study permit there is a good chance they will need a study permit to attend.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Medicals are only valid for a year so IRCC does try to minimize how many times they request a medical. Fairly common to have to do medicals at least twice but one of the reasons that medicals are not ordered right away. It makes no sense to order them too early and have to pay to review them...

    Prearrival letter is purely procedural and can be received at any point after eligibility. The name is very confusing and the letter should be renamed because most people incorrectly assume that means that approval is coming soon.

    If they replied already there is no issue. It is not uncommon to have to wait multiple weeks for a reply to emails.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    You can’t compare citizenship to PGP. PGP in benefited in 2024 from increasing quotas annually and had an extremely high quota compared to 2025 and 2026 so faster processing times made sense. There was already a significant backlog in 2025 after the cancelled draw was uncanceled. Until backlog...

    2024 PR Application timeline

    You have no option but to update your application otherwise that would be considered misrepresentation and could also impact your ability to sponsor your spouse.

    Question regarding multiple PR stream file

    At some point during processing IRCC will request she withdraw one of the PR applications. You must update any changes to your PR application profile whether it be change of address, marital status, etc. Yes she should only update her profile after she gets married.

    spouse visa as 2nd wife

    As soon as you fill out anything online it becomes a record for IRCC and can be referenced at any point. If you filled out anything related to IRCC indicating you are married you should be prepared to prove that you got divorced before trying to claim you got married to another person.
