    Challenging situation…PGP Program vs Refugee claim

    March 2025 Super visa application

    No this is not unusual processing time. You really should have waited until you had NOA because that is the preferred proof of income earned. Many get denied without NOA.

    PR card recalled and seized?

    Domestic fees at mac if I have my AIP?

    Question regarding my education background. Help Please!

    If you also didn’t mention it when you applied for PGWP then you are asking to be found to have misrepresented your studies if you now claim the studies.

    The timeline of 2023 Spouse sponsorship application from Quebec

    SOWP for spouses being processed is relatively new so there won’t have been many people who have been able to apply. There shouldn’t be an issue if you apply before the first SOWP expires. I would attach a letter explaining that you are still waiting for spousal sponsorship application to be...

    final decision

    As you have discovered there is no point in contacting IRCC if your processing time is in line with others. Wish IRCC would be upfront with people about wait times because I assume most are doing the same thing as you have which wastes a large amount of IRCC resources that could be used...
