Sydney is a city in Nova Scotia.

Yes, I totally understand your point. Only thing I would add is that it is unlikely that a mandamus will be accepted when the waiting time is in line with the expected one.

I believe that most of the time the application approval timeline is unrelated to what the applicant does. Most of the stories we read about are just coincidental. Surely if after mandamus and after a court date is set, that is more likely to be cause/effect, so in that sense a mandamus is...

A mentioned in another reply, mandamus has almost zero chances of having any positive outcome since your waiting time is in line with a normal processing. Please keep in mind that IRCC tries to process fairly all applications and I do not think it is a good idea to try to "bully" them into...

Agreed and I understand the venting: I did plenty of that during my application, LOL! Unfortunately there is not much to do aside from waiting. Ordering GCMS notes every few months and calling directly can help too, but only from a psychological point of view: nothing will speed up the process...

I understand looking forward to your applications to be processed, but the expected waiting time is around 9 months and it is being less than 8 (even less for some of you). It is not unusual to wait 1 year of more for some applications (see my signature for details of my application, keeping...

Good day forum members! I am getting ready to apply to become a professional engineer. I have two options in term of provinces (I will be doing some work in both), but I am not sure about the repsective timelines. The two provinces are Saskatchewan (APEGS) or Alberta (APEGA). Did someone...

Congratulations!!

I never really investigated the procedure, but it should be described here. There are phone numbers available from the US that you can use.

I think you should call and ask for advice: GCMS notes can be cryptic at times. Did anyone experience the same situation?

Please re-post this question on the proper thread (AOR January 2023) for better visibility and assistance.

Ah, OK. This is the thread for AOR March 2020, so you may want to re-post this on the proper thread to have more replies. It really depends on your stream (FSW, PNP etc.) and on your luck, but it usually takes an average of 9 months for the application to be processed, with most of the...

Not much aside from waiting. GCMS notes will arrive and you will have a clearer picture of the situation. When did you apply?

Unfortunately you will have to import the new car paying the proper taxes. The car that you put on the goods to follow list is a different one and it is the only one exempt from import taxes. I am no sure about the amount of taxes for Ontario, but there is probably a good guide on the official...

Is everything alright? Venting is understandable, but do not give up

No worries, I still have a pending review for the photo, six months after receiving the PR card...

If you received eCoPR it means that you are already physically in Canada. Once you receive it you are a permanent resident and you do not need or can have a visa (or a ETA). You have however to prove your status, which you can do with your PR card once you receive it. Before that you can prove...

It varies significantly, but they usually ask for medical when everything else is done and it is assumed that the applicant will be able to land before medicals expire. I would expect something in a few weeks or a couple of months top. As always with this process: be ready but do not count on it...

You are considered PR when you do your landing, physical or virtual. In your case it will be virtual and, if I am not mistaken, will happen after you send the required information and documents. Since you did not do that yet, I believe you are not PR at the moment, so if you have an eTA or a...

Congratulation for the PR! As far as travelling, you may have some issues, especially if travelling by plane, until you receive your PR card. Since you are now a permanent resident, your visa/eTA are no longer valid. If you travel by land and private vehicle you should be able to explain the...
