    Processing time for PR card from interview to receiving in mail?

    Hi guys, so I'm going to try and go for my interview this coming Friday (I say try because I'm going to try and go for the 'unscheduled appointment' I'v been told I could go for.) I am planning on going back to the UK in late July for my father's 60th birthday (not seen him for a year and a...

    Hi all, I recently posted this on the FB group, but wanted to know thoughts here too.

    IMM 1344 question

    Hi all, Recently I saw something that made me go back and check my form IMM 1344. Under the part where it asks for the date you entered into the common-law relationship, I wrote in '11/08/2017'. I sent my application off around 10/08/2018. So either I put the wrong date in initially, or I...

    Hello all, I submitted my application for my visitor visa online on October 6th, and it is still being processed.
