    I read some where that If your OWP is tied to another application that does require language proof (e.g., PR under Express Entry or SUV), you’ll need valid results for that application — but not for the OWP itself. Since we are talking about WP tied to SUV, in most probability it is required...

    Thanks for sharing this — it’s very useful in understanding the current slowdown. By the way, can you see what the approval rate is for CIAI (your Angel)? Also, just to confirm — when IRCC reports “number of applications,” it refers to Principal Applicants only, not the total including...

    My gut feel and wild guess is in coming 2-3 months it may increase by another month or two and then it will fall below 40 months, the assumption is that they will clear the 2020 and 2021 backlog in coming 3 months, the decisions may go both ways, approved and not approved to bring down the numbers

    Ah yes, the classic donkey and carrot — except in this case, the carrot is moldy, the stick is broken, and the donkey has already walked halfway across the desert. At some point, it’s not motivation — it’s mockery.

    Hi Hali What’s the status of your GCMS, it’s taking quite long time to get, why don’t you open a web form or take help of the local MP to know the status Yes you are right, if there are more than one essential members or principal applicants, all principal applicants will receive individual...

    One more thing, the decisions for the year do not happen all at once, they happen regularly over the full year, but it has been observed that only few decisions came in the first quarter of 2025, and the bulk of decisions will happen starting September,

    At this point, we’re all like miners without helmets — stumbling in the dark, hoping the light at the end of the tunnel, SUV applicants are stuck in a real-life suspense thriller — “Waiting for PR: The NeverEnding Sequel.” Let’s just hope the second half of 2025 has a plot twist we’ll actually...
