    Parents not at wedding

    It is really based on the situation. For example if you have lived together for 5 years then IRCC isn’t likely to be concerned about the validity of your relationship/marriage. If you have known each other for less than a year, have never lived together, one of your status is about to expire or...

    ETA Taking "Forever"

    Assume it has to do with the timing of the B1/B2

    Denied marriage, looking to do refugee claim

    Hasn’t passed yet but it will be retroactive it if passes

    Less complex hearing

    Once you submit your evidence your claim will be reviewed to determine if you can be approved without hearing, you need a short hearing or you need a full hearing. Although in general a faster pathway wouldn’t say it is fast these days due to the volume of cases. Really tough to predict...

    Denied marriage, looking to do refugee claim

    If applying now and new legislation passes he wouldn’t qualify assuming he has been in Canada for over a year.

    Dependent child sponsorship

    The only thing that would delay the process is a communicable disease. There is no medical inadmissibility for spouses and dependent children. Would suggest connecting with other parents who maybe able to give you more information about how you should prepare financially, education-wise...

    Protected person moving out of quebec

    Best of luck. Many viewed Alberta as some sort of utopia but many people have moved before you and so there are many competing for the same employment. Consider all locations across Canada if you want to move out of Quebec depending on your field of work. There are pockets of Canada, often in...

    2025 PR Application Timeline

    Would really encourage people to monitor their file but not focus on it too much for their mental health. Processing times are going to be very long and there will be long periods of time (years) where there may be no movement. There is an extremely large backlog so work on establishing your...

    Protected person moving out of quebec

    Quebec runs their own immigration and sets their own quotas. Has nothing to do with taxes. PR processing times are going up in the rest of Canada and is getting close to 3 years. It is purely a math issue. Many applicants for a small quota. The economy is not good in many places in Canada...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    There is no quota for granting protected person status. There is certainly a quota for granting protected people, refugees and their dependents PR with a significant backlog. Just protected people (so those who claimed asylum within Canada) without their dependents or other refugees have a...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    It is going to keep increasing for quite a long time.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    The irony is I think this is the same person playing good cop bad cop.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Zero point filing mandamus at this point. Your processing is very much in line with other applicants. Next October may make sense but hopefully you will have received PR by then. Save your money.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Mandamus didn’t work. They filed it but it doesn’t sound like it was granted and likely wouldn’t have been granted. Think this is pure coincidence. Unless process is taking a year longer than others would be very reluctant to file mandamus

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    They are customer service agents not VOs so yes they can’t see much and often aren’t very knowledgeable. Assume many are not longterm employees.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    It still has to be substantially later than other applications. The timeline doesn’t make sense. This would not be a mandamus case. Think this is pure coincidence and normal processing. They said they filed mandamus but it wasn’t granted.

    Dependent child sponsorship

    Application will be processed as normal. Would warn you there are long wait times for services for children experiencing similar issues. Many things end up needing to be paid out of pocket because of long wait times and limit on how much services/funds you can receive from the province...

    Visitor visa question – apply from home country instead of South Africa?

    You can apply from your home country but I wouldn’t count on the posted processing time given the more complex application. Do not book travel until you have the TRV.

    Dependent child sponsorship

    So your child was listed as non-accompanying on your PR application? When did you land as PRs and when was your child born?

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Getting PGP is literally like winning the lottery these days. Given Canada’s health care crisis and ageing population it’s slightly shocking it even exists and many Canadians were outraged when they suddenly discovered the program existed this year. Processing when you got selected was around 3...
