My mother & I plan on landing around the 25th, I can't seem to find information regarding if CBSA expects a negative PCR test result when we land. CIC sent out an email that said something along the lines of us being in "good health" but it did not go much into detail. PCRs are a bit pricey...

My mother & I should be landing within a week or 2, what was your landing experience like? How long did it take? What are some things you suggest we bring with us? Another post I seen said that we should have 4 passport photos but we were not informed about this.

Hey guys long story short my older brother sponsored my mother & I (Currently 22, was under 21 at the time of applying). We recently received PPR with an information chart form attached that asks to list principle applicant (my mother) and children with their passport number & expiration date...

So my older brother sponsored my mother & I roughly 15 months ago (2018 May) and I believe we have reached the end of the process as we are only currently awaiting background search. The problem is that Lebanon has currently entered its 11th day of a revolution/protest and I believe the...

Hey guys! Back in 2012 my mother & I were ordered to leave Canada as refugees which we did and paid for our own tickets. I was underage at the time, around the age of 15. 2 years ago my mother applied for a visitors visa to visit my older brother who is now a PR, she was requested to pay the...

Hey guys quick question! My mother & I (the dependent) are currently waiting background check to complete but have a vacation in August coming up. We already informed immigration about our travel history for the last 10 years at the beginning of our application but are we supposed to update the...

Thank you! Would you know that if it also signals the end of our background check or are they independent from each other?

Hey guys I just have a quick question as we received an email today from our local VO office. The email basically consists of asking us to pay my ARC fee since we had lived in Canada previously under refugee status. My mother applied for a visitors visa about 2 years ago and paid her ARC fee...

It took us about 5 - 6 months! We applied in May and received medical requests + pre arrival in late November.

Hello, I am the dependent in a PGP that is now in the background check phase. My biggest concern is that I am currently a third year university student, with 1 more year to go before I graduate. I should be graduating by June 2020. From what I know visas are usually only good for about 1 year...

Basically my older brother is sponsoring my mother & I (I was 20 at the time the application was submitted back in May 2018, which makes me a dependent) anyways we listed all of our travel history at the time and submitted the application. The application now is currently waiting background...

We are nearly at the end of our PGP application I assume, we applied back in May 2018 and so far have recieved sponsor elgibility, Medical requests, and pre arrival. Medical & pre arrival were in late November 2017 so I assume we are just waiting for background clearance now. The entire time...

Does anyone have an idea if this is only available for spouse sponsorship or all types of sponsorship? We are a PGP case and DO NOT have our application linked to gckey, we never received the email. Is that because we are PGP or because we dont have it linked with gckey?

Does anyone know realisically what the average wait time is so far for PGP outside of Canada? This website states it’s about 20-24 months https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html But I find it unreliable due to the fact my older...

I completely get that BGC completion time varies but that is not what I am asking. I am asking when do they START.

Older brother is currently sponsoring my mother and I, we submitted our application back in May 2018 and received prearrival + medical tests in November and are now currently waiting for BGC to be complete (I guess). I know that BGC completion times vary but I want to know is when does CSIS...

No sorry man but its not true, gender doesnt effect processing rates.

I have heard several answers to when background checks are started, some say when the application is first received while others say it starts when pre arrival letters are sent. Does anyone have a definite answer? There is a 6 month difference between when our application was received and when...

Hey guys, does anyone have any idea when background checks start? I was under the assumption that they start when they receive our application (May 2018 in our case) but now I have somebody telling me that BGC start once the pre arrival letter is sent (November 2018 for us). Most people that are...

Hey guys, We got our pre arrival letter and medical request on the same day (November 27) and did the medical exam on December 1 which I'm pretty sure will be approved since we're perfectly healthy. I assume all we do now is sit and wait? Should we expect them to update ECAS or send an email or...
