    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    Wonder what happens to PGP. Tough to keep PGP open if spousal sponsorship and economic programs have been closed recently.

    2022 PR application timeline

    People routinely post their processing times on this forum. Those are the current processing time not whatever is posted on a government website or your file as a target. There are also no guaranteed processing times. We have seen processing times increase because of the huge volume of...

    2022 PR application timeline

    Mandamus is used for excessive processing time typically compared to others going through similar processing. It didn’t actually take 16 months to review your eligibility you were in a queue waiting for your turn to review eligibility. Canada is a relatively small country population wise that...

    Does the income needed have to be earned within a calendar year?

    Also would be for 3 people. Unless you and your parents have savings LICO likely won’t cover your costs while they visit Canada.

    She should be prepared that she may need to travel alone.

    RTD travel - Which nationality to select while booking a ticket

    Would disagree. This creates issues for security screenings that are done way before you fly. You would be in databases as your own nationality not Canadian. You should travel with the RTD but for international security searches you are still listed under your name and citizenship. If the...

    It is normal processing if you look at other applicants. Mandamus is rarely effective unless significantly longer processing times (over a year) than most other applicants.

    PR for Mother

    Strongly believe LICO is way too low for PGP and given the low income levels I assume many are accessing support services/government programs/charities to afford to live in Canada with their parents either visiting or getting PR. Some may have been already accessing these things without their...

    You are undergoing normal processing time so hopefully you applied on your own and didn’t pay a lawyer.

    PR for Mother

    There have been discussions about higher income requirements in the past which got huge pushback.

    PR for Mother

    Agree that this is a group that gets very little attention in terms of temporary residents. The majority of Canadians are unaware that supervisa or even PGP exist. International students and temporary workers get most of the attention from the media, politicians and IRCC. Would be shocked if...

    SOWP

    Would add that there is a decent chance you may not get a response regarding your SOWP before your spouse needs to come to Canada assuming she starts school in September.

    Is DOT for active TB really needed for Study Permit?

    Will happen after the 6 month treatment. In terms of DOT not sure. Given that it is not available in all countries I don’t think so but would clarify with IRCC.

    PR for Mother

    Think the actual volume of parents visiting on supervisas is likely higher than we may think. Should ATIP the ED use of certain hospitals and it would probably be pretty shocking how many non-OHIP, MSP, RAMQ, etc. users are accessing healthcare. Anecdotally clearly putting strain on hospitals...

    Is DOT for active TB really needed for Study Permit?

    Yes you can do treatment elsewhere. You will have to repeat chest X-ray and sputum culture after treatment to ensure TB has been cured. If there are still concerns you can be asked to do further testing.

    Citizenship for Self-Employed

    You should have been filing taxes as self-employed so you would have that proof. I would also have at least a month of buffer time.

    PR for Mother

    A supervisa is a visitor visa. The mother can visit but it is visa that allows you to visit on a yearly basis IF you can secure supervisa insurance. Currently in most cases you can visit for 5 years with the potential for a 2 year extension. Many confuse this as a permanent move. If you get sick...

    Stepdaughter keeping permanent residency

    As a stepdaughter she is technically a dependent of your wife not you. If still under 22 she can be sponsored again if you return to Canada permanently.

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2023 Timeline

    If your case was an outlier maybe but many are waiting 2 years for a hearing these days. There is a very large backlog and only a limited capacity to process a certain number of applicants every year.
