Hi Sumi,

Where did you got the data that only 10,000 visas are issued and 15,000 are still pending.
Since July 2013, Kenny is no longer the Minister for Immigration. Chris Alexander is new Minister. He served In Kabul and Moscow before coming back to Canada.


He is going to announce 2014 Immigration level program later today.

Seems like a nice guy with good knowledge of South East Asia.


Here is the link to ministers cdn immigration plan for 2014 http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/releases/2013/2013-10-28.asp
Details will be posted on CIC website.

Good luck

Got the approval from Mississauga in mail yesterday. Letter is dated Oct 24. My case is transferred to CPP Ottawa.

For reference following is my timing
Application Date : Dec 10, 2009
Additional papers requested: Aug 8, 2013
Papers sent: Aug 20, 2013
Eligibility approved : Oct 24, 2013
No dependents

Have a few questions, please help
- While sending the additional papers, I enclosed the fees but in the approval letter CIC mentioned that I opted to defer the payment of fees. Anyone have the same experience? Should I call CIC?
- My parents just went back to India. As now the case is with Ottawa, do I need to bring them back. Please advice.
- Can anyone share the process and also average processing timelines at Ottawa?

Thanks

Hello Suin,

They just mentioned in common on all letter that if you have chosed to defer payment of that fee that you will be contacted to make the payment at a later date and so if you havent pay before then they will ask at the time of your parents medical and if you already paid then you do not need to worry about it because you already submitted the receipt along with your application which has a bar code on the receipt which proved it that you made a payment already.

I think the next step will be to get the permenant residence application approved from CPP OTTAWA.
please correct me if i am wrong.

Thx

Canada will admit 20,000 parents and grandparents in 2014.


News Release — Slashing backlogs, reuniting families

Canada welcomes largest number of parents and grandparents in nearly 20 years

Ottawa, October 29, 2013 — Canada's Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander today pledged aggressive action to reunite more families in 2014. Alexander also announced that the backlog of Parent and Grandparent (PGP) program applications will be almost 50 percent lower by the end of 2013 than it was just two years ago.

“Our Government is keeping our promise to overcome the massive backlogs we inherited and reunite families faster,” said Alexander. “These numbers represent the highest level of parent and grandparent admissions in nearly two decades and are a clear expression of our commitment to family reunification as a key part of our immigration plan.”

The Government is on track to surpass its commitment to admit 50,000 parents and grandparents to Canada over two years (2012 and 2013), and Canada intends to welcome an additional 20,000 in 2014. The admission of an additional 20,000 parents and grandparents in 2014 is part of the annual levels plan tabled yesterday by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Under the Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification, the Government cut backlogs and wait times for sponsored parents and grandparents. Prior to that, families regularly had to wait eight years or more to bring their loved ones from overseas.

Had no action been taken, it was predicted that the backlog could increase to 250,000 persons with wait times of 15 years by 2015. Because of the Government's aggressive actions, wait times are now expected to be just one fifth of that time.

The PGP program will start accepting applications again in January with new eligibility criteria for sponsors and a cap of 5,000 applications per year. The cap is being put in place to allow for the elimination of the existing backlog and prevent future backlogs. More information, new application forms and instruction guides for the redesigned PGP program will be made available in the coming weeks.

“The modernized PGP program will mean faster processing times and shorter waits,” said Alexander. “It will also ensure that families have the financial means to support those they sponsor, while also protecting the interests of taxpayers.”

The Super Visa remains a popular option for parents or grandparents wishing to visit their families in Canada for an extended period of time. The Super Visa is valid for up to 10 years and allows parents and grandparents to come to Canada for up to two years at a time. To date, nearly 26,000 Super Visas have been issued with an approval rate of 84 percent.
