    Spousal sponsorship

    This federal department truly boggles the mind. I doubt many would last very long in the private sector with tight deadlines and so on. Back in the fall of 2022 they send me an email that I needed to upload some additional info. on their website; of course there was no actual link there to...

    Spousal sponsorship

    My local MP has contacted the relevant IRCC office as well, several times. I should clarify that we also applied for a PR card at the same time which perhaps means a longer time period before a decision is made; supposedly on the security check now although I don't trust anything communicated...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Avg. processing time is 9 months for inland sponsorship? I've been waiting since Aug. 2022 for these incompetent clowns to make a decision on our file. I find that timeline you reference hard to believe.

    Taxes and inland

    Filled out form NR74 on Feb. 21st and still haven't heard from the CRA on the residency status of my spouse; although I assume she will be deemed a Can. resident for tax purposes. lol

    File tax with non-residence spouse

    And to no one's surprise still waiting to hear back from the CRA after submitting form NR74 online which means I am unable at the moment to proceed with filing my taxes. Hopefully their timelines in addressing issues don't mirror the IRCC.

    Stuck On Security Check

    I hear ya 'bro. It absolutely boggles my mind how long it takes to get these applications moving along. No excuse for this nonsense, especially the lack of communication throughout the process. .

    Stuck On Security Check

    Likewise, sent additional docs as per their request end of Nov. 2023, only thing that seems outstanding is the security check which presumably is the CBSA taking their sweet time on this. Original application was Aug. 2022. No idea why it would take so long on this issue considering the...

    File tax with non-residence spouse

    Fairly certain this is a bit of a "grey area". In the process of filling out form NR74 which I will send to the CRA for them to make a determination on my own spouse's residency status. In past years didn't worry about this since she had no income; but this year she secured a work permit and...

    Dependent turning 18 during processing

    Located the letter sent to us on Nov. 30th, 2023 requesting add'l info. This after 7-8 months of ZERO communication following the transfer of our file from one IRCC office to another. 5 addl. docs requested: Police certificate, oddly the wording is very confusing as it states "from each...

    Dependent turning 18 during processing

    Overall status is: "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." That's it. lol Even received a message on Dec. 1st, 2023 about what services are available to new immigrants; but that was for people applying...

    In early Dec. we were asked to send in more docs by mail or email. Mailed on Dec. 4th and received in Windsor Dec. 7th and SFA has been done it seems with the information. Even more laughable, I check online, and we could have actually uploaded these same docs it seems but this was not...

    Spousal sponsorship

    In early March, my wife's spousal sponsorship, as well as PR card application was transferred from one agent to another for a final decision. She has had a work permit for months already here in BC. How on earth does it take 5 plus months and still no dialogue from the govt. since March on...

    Latest Update shows "Final Decision - your application is in progress"

    Similar experience myself, received an email on March 13th, 2023 stating our application is in order but it was being transferred to another office for a final decision. There has been absolutely no correspondence since which I find ridiculous. No additional docs have been asked for and lets...
