    OCI process

    Just an update for everyone applying for OCI. The BLS agents seems to have a commission or something from the shipping labels they generate for the pick up and drop off services. Every agent i talked to was trying to rush me to pay them and buy the postal services. I actually chose the pickup...

    I replied back with my email and they sent me the password for logging in to the PR confirmation portal. We are suppose to declare our presence in Canada and submit a Photo (digital) through the portal. I assume IRCC will now simply print the PR card and send it over if the photo they have is...

    Hi, Congrats, happy for you!!! I just received the email from IRCC today, provided them the details and will wait for the login details for the portal. Can you tell me if we are to upload only the digital copy of the photos, and no need to mail the photos to them? Thanks.

    Thread for 2019 - 2020 - Dependent Child sponsorship Applications

    I think its a recommendation that you should not travel if the passport is to be expired within 6 months, but its not a hard and fast "NO" if there is still (lets say) 5 months left. If you are able to explain it to the official, I don't think they would deny you an entry to Canada.

    Thread for 2019 - 2020 - Dependent Child sponsorship Applications

    Are you worried because renewing passport will take more than or close to a year? To me it looks like you should be able to travel after you get the visa, and come over to canada and get her passport renewed from within canada, i personally dont see this as a big problem, but i would still...

    you will get a message from IRCC and the application status will reflect Medical Passed within a day or two after IRCC receives the medical results. Normally these clinics take longer time to upload the results. My clinic told me that they upload the same day, but they did it after two weeks...
