    You typically need a new medical for PR if your only medical was done as a visitor.

    Ankara visa office not giving date for interview

    If you are a PR how did you obtain status? Asylum? Refugee? If neither there is likely a pause on many Iranian applications due to the war.

    Not common for all to receive at the same time unless your dependents applied for asylum with you and you are all deemed protected people.

    Privately Sponsored Refugee from Turkey

    There was a specific refugee program solely for Afgan citizens.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Pre-arrival letters only mean you have passed eligibility and aren’t related to processing time. Some people get 2 for some reason. Medicals are often delayed because IRCC wants to limit how many times they have to be repeated. Posted processing times are around 3 years so well within normal...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Sadly there are quirks in IRCC’s IT system. The fact that your file has moved forward means they do have biometrics.

    Were you part of the Afghanistan program because you have been processed relatively quickly?

    Personal bankruptcy while Visitor Record application is pending — any first-hand experience?

    Yes filing bankruptcy could influence whether someone can visit Canada since they should have limited funds to support themselves after filing for bankruptcy and they have not been responsible with their spending in Canada. This is a fairly rare situation. If temporary residents file bankruptcy...

    BC PNP: Claim Foreign Cash-Paid Experience or Wait for 2 Years of Canadian Experience?

    Payments into a foreign bank account still need to be declared in your Canadian taxes. If you haven’t been paid since 2022 there are no issues. As I’ve mentioned there could be concerns about your cash payments. IRCC is a lot more suspicious of cash payments these days without further...

    Algerian software engineer considering moving to Canada, is it worth it

    Assume you know French so your best and likely only option to get PR would be through the Francophone program out of Quebec. That would mean you need to settle outside of Quebec. The majority of software engineering jobs outside Quebec are in southern Ontario and the greater Vancouver area...

    American moving to Canada Spousal sponsor

    Unless he qualifies for a WP under CUMSA he can’t move to Canada as a visitor so he can’t move his belongings to Canada like a PR. They should apply for proof of marriage registration as soon as possible because they will need to wait for it before applying for sponsorship.

    BC PNP: Claim Foreign Cash-Paid Experience or Wait for 2 Years of Canadian Experience?

    There could be some tax implication regarding international income after your arrival in Canada. IRCC has certainly become much more cautious when it comes to cash payments. If you have a high chance of getting a nomination based on your Canadian work experience I would probably wait and apply...

    RE: Spousal Application

    1. Once you have a valid TRV the reason for your visit is assessed at every entry. Yes she can use her existing TRV to try to enter Canada and if she has received AOR then she would qualify to apply for an OWP. If asked I would be honest that the aim for her visit is to reunite with her spouse...
