Unfortunately IRCC does not indicate the timeline for processing applications where a spouse has been added after the primary applicant has received COPR / Visa (in the case where marital status changes during the application process. It will help each other if we share our timelines. I created...

Hi all. My in-laws have stayed and rebuilt their lives (as much as they can given the circumstances) in Syria so we have no plans to sponsor them for PR but I would love for them to be able to visit us sometime. Has anyone in this forum been able to obtain a supervisa (or even a regular visa)...

My husband happened to check his ECAS and on May 25 everything except Oath Ceremony had been changed to "completed", and that he is scheduled to attend an oath ceremony on Jul 5 and to follow the instructions sent to him. His overall status still says, "In progress" and not the expected...

Hi all. My brother in law received COPR / Visa in Feb 2020 just as COVID was shutting the world down but had 12 months to land on his visa. He then got married in Dec 2020 and immediately informed IRRC of his status changed. By procedure, his COPR / Visa was revoked and he was requested to have...

Hi all, I see that those who have received COPR prior to Mar 18, 2020 are allowed to come to Canada to land but only if they plan to settle upon arrival. Is this a new requirement or has it been in place since the COVID restrictions on travelling to Canada were put in place? For reference...

Hi all, Just asking this question for my brother-in-law who has applied to immigrate to Canada under Express Entry. He's Syrian, working in IT, living in the UAE. He recently received a request to submit a CV and a Supplementary Information Request for Students. The CV part I understand (I...

Hi everyone, I'm a Canadian with lots of friends overseas who want to come to Canada and I'm so tired and upset at hearing their stories about immigration consultants charging large sums of money to create an express entry profile when their likelihood of getting an ITA is low etc. I created...

My husband worked up until the day before we left the UAE and subsequently his gratuity payment was processed after we landed in Canada. Does this mean he would have to pay taxes on this gratuity payment even though it is an amount based on his employment prior to moving to Canada? Thanks.

Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible, under OINP and subsequent PR approval, to land within the required timeline, then return to current country of residence to complete work contract commitment. Work contracts tend to be 2 - 3 years...and so the timing of the ITA and passport request /...

Good morning. I was pretty sure when I researched visa requirements at the time of our flight booking that PR card holders do not need a transit visa (we are flying Dubai - Amsterdam - Calgary). But I thought I would check and I can't seem to find the same info...Schipol Airport page says a...

Hey all, I have a friend who is being sponsored to the US by her husband who has a green card in the US...does anyone know of a forum that is similar to this one for getting help and information from peers / people going through the same process? Also, I posted a question in the PR Settlement...

Hey all, My husband landed last year and then we both came back to UAE to finish up our contracts and to look for work (while we have work) before moving to Canada (insha'allah by June this year). My question is...when does he have to start paying tax on his income from the UAE? I file forms...
