We will send you a message once the final decision...

    Informing IRCC of pregnancy

    Hi, I am sponsoring my husband for PR (inland) and have recently found out I am pregnant. From what I have read, I don't need to inform IRCC about the pregnancy but I do about the birth of a child. Would submitting proof of pregnancy help with the application or is it useless to inform them...

    March 2023 Inland Spousal Sponsorship Applicants

    It does not say anything about them sending me an AOR in the new tracker. It does say they sent me the letter for medical exams. I see that the tracker has been updated to completed for biometrics and medical exam and background check is in progress. So, I assume the application is complete as...

    March 2023 Inland Spousal Sponsorship Applicants

    We got the same thing about two weeks ago, and we assume it is the AOR as it has a file number and UCI. It also came at the same time as medical request letter.

    TRV past processing times

    I just wanted to give an update on my original post in case someone is in a similar situation (If it is not appropriate to bump this up for an update, please feel free to delete). Last week, as a last resort and after feeling pretty hopeless, I contacted my MP office and by the end of the week...

    PR in process, PA having to leave Canada for 2 weeks

    Thanks your responses! We are absolutely aware that the ultimate decision will be made by the officer at the POE and know we are risking him not being able to re-enter Canada and having to re-submit his application as outland sponsorship. Unfortunately for us, it is not an option for him to be...

    November 2022 Visitors Visa Applicant

    Same here, applied from Peru. Processing time says 117 days and I am at 145 I believe. I was able to contact IRCC and they could only confirm they received it and that it is IN FACT past processing time. No other comment or solution. So I guess all that is left is to wait?

    Panel Doctor to Canada?

    Yes, I agree. Except for the part that IMG get "leftover" spots in the CARMs. The problem is not that we get leftover spots, the actual problem is that the system here separates Canadian grads from IMGs, so we never really compete for the same spots like in the USA. We are given VERY limited...

    I am a physician from Peru, currently living in Ontario with a PR. I worked at a very well known clinic in Peru who is accredited by Accreditation Canada (which means it has passed Canadian standards). My English is excellent as I lived in Florida for 12 years from age 10-22. I can tell you that...
