    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    Pre-arrival actually has nothing to do with processing being close to being finalized. It is purely procedural and comes any time after eligibility is passed. You still haven’t reached posted processing time and the backlog is quite significant. All you can do is wait but you are still...

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Wish people would appreciate this. I have been saying this to anyone complaining about processing time for years. Anyone who has received parent sponsorship is incredibly lucky and most going forward will unlikely be able to sponsor their parents. The length of visit on a supervisa is creating...

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    This also could be due to applying from Quebec because family sponsorship was on hold.

    Read this before thinking about studying in Canada

    This was always the case. Many preferred to listen to foreign consultants and not people in Canada telling people to choose their program and school carefully. For years most on this forum recommended that people enrol in worthwhile degrees that would lead to opportunities in Canada, like a...

    Please help me the process and timeliness of Refugee Withdrawl

    No they will meet you at the boarding area and either give you your passport or give it to the airline. If it is a voluntary departure, especially without transit, then you typically are given your passport back.

    Advice for PGWP-Study permit going to expire in November

    How exactly did he get a study permit without being able to score high enough in his language exam? Being in Canada should have technically increased his language scores.

    Background in Progress – FD Delay

    No background checks have nothing to do with previous marriage. It either has to do with your country or origin or likely work/military history.

    Can Visitors in Canada Volunteer?

    Likely no. Any potential paid work would be viewed as working illegally. There are other potential volunteer work that is never paid which may be an option like visiting seniors for example. The food bank would not be familiar with all immigration laws so can’t be counted on to provide accurate...

    Residency Obligations - Falling short of 730 day RO requirement due to frequent business trips

    You can use your Nexus card but you risk being reported every time you enter Canada. Going to your US job is not a great reason for crossing the border when you are not compliant with your RO as a Canadian PR.

    Please help me the process and timeliness of Refugee Withdrawl

    It is the exact same process but with an intermediary. You must coordinate with CBSA because you can’t just book any flight given you have a removal order.

    PSR timelines — Turkey (Ankara visa office)

    Processing times are estimates and are often not representative of actual processing times for some reason. They are also often reassessed.

    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    You were likely part of the pilot program for this timeline and the 1 time policy also helped. Please don’t make people think that prayer had anything to do with IRCC approval times and that their faith hasn’t been able to secure immigration for their dependents in a certain timeframe.

    Remote work on B1/B2 in USA.

    This is really a US immigration issue not a Canadian one. How long you would be spending in the US likely has a big part in the response.

    I have done a proxy marriage, I dont know its not acceptable. What is next please ?

    You may actually need to get divorced to get remarried and have your in person marriage be recognized. As already mentioned time spent together in person is highly valued by IRCC when it comes to proof of being in a relationship/marriage.

    Will IRCC consider this misrepresentation because my ex-wife and I previously shared an address before we got married? Both applied PR independently

    Think you are underestimating the importance of the timeline of your relationship. When did you first meet your new spouse in person? Did you get married during that initial visit? How much time in person have you spent with this new spouse and over how many visits? IRCC will want to see proof...

    Immigration to Canada with family

    Certainly BIOC helps but it is far from a guarantee of H&C. It usually requires BIOC and something else. Given the volume of applicants and processing times most will be removed or because they no longer have status families will make the choice to leave before their application gets processed...

    Immigration to Canada with family

    People have started viewing H&C as a relatively easy pathway to get PR and one of the reasons why processing time has become decades. At the moment it isn’t a realistic pathway since if you applied today you wouldn’t receive a response for decades and would likely have been removed or left by...
