    Any new information on the latest announced travel restrictions please post here

    I agree it will take time for the legal challenges to go through the system. However, I could see an eventual class action lawsuit on the fees, which, if successful, could result in people getting some or all of the fees back. It would be years before a final decision though. And that could be...

    Any new information on the latest announced travel restrictions please post here

    The main issue here is minimal impairment. Quarantining people to the extent that's necessary to protect other people would certainly qualify. But I don't think the fee qualifies as minimal impairment or that it even has a rational connection. We don't charge criminals for their incarceration...

    Advice Needed on Wedding Delayed by Covid.

    A change to married last name is not an issue. My wife applied with her maiden name. It took 11 months for her home country to process the paperwork to change the name on her passport. As soon as she had the new passport with new name, we sent a copy to IRCC via the webform and they updated the...

    Hello, My wife is applying for a TRV to come to Canada. They just sent her an email asking for two things: Proof of essential travel.

    I got my spouse's GCMS notes from CBSA and it says they're doing a comprehensive security screening :( Looks like we'll be waiting for a while, and the COVID-19 is probably slowing things down too...

    Mississauga outland application processing delays

    Hello everyone, Looking at the 2019 and 2020 spreadsheets, it looks like no one has got a "Decision Made" or PPR from the Mississauga office since mid-March. I just got our GCMS notes, dated April 3 but still with a due date of March 21 (so the immigration officer missed the due date to look...

    "you must show that you plan to live in Canada when your sponsored relative becomes a permanent resident" - Is this enforced?

    They can re Thet can revoke the PR if there is evidence that she, or both of you, misrepresented your intentions when you applied for the PR. If you say you're coming back as soon as you get the PR, but have no intention of actually doing so, that's misrepresentation.

    We also have ORG: BLUE but haven't been able to figure out what it means. I think most people have green, so maybe it's some kind of flag? Our file is in Mississauga though, which generally doesn't process the complicated cases. Our security checks have started - quite a bit of redacted...

    My wife's letter also had this strange reminder to have a medical done for her dependent - even though she does not have any dependents. So she sent a message through the webform to get some clarity on the issue and they replied saying they had all the documents they needed for now. Not sure...

    Our file was transferred to Mississauga on December 6. Yesterday my wife got a letter requesting to submit a CV and IMM 5562 form (travel history) which had not been requested as part of the original application package. She submitted them this morning.

    What did you originally send in to get a request for PSA Advisory on Marriages?

We sent in...
