Congrats!! you couldn't wait Eh!!!

You can get tax break for this year as well (for the remaining portion of the year left since your parents landing)

If your parents are living with you then you get tax breaks - I hope you know that.

Really. I didn' t knew that. Do you know how much is that?

GAME, SEt and MATCH!!!!

We got yesterday evening my mom's passport (at a FedEx sorting facility) and all of a sudden, we decided to go south, to US border, in order to proceed to flagpoling.
We arrived around 8:00 p.m., a unique lane to US was open.... but the line was counting 1 (one) car...

The whole procedure :
- STEP1: getting refusal entry in US
- STEP2: being returned to Canada
- STEP3: do the landing in CA
- STEP4: do the Customs too: as we said there are gonna be personal items to come from origin country

... took exactly 1 hour.

Short and smooth. We were the sole car in the parking and the sole clients in both buildings.
So I would suggest to someone interested into doing it, to go late evening (main crossborders are open 24/7 and even smaller ones are open till midnight)


I still cannot believe: after exacty 5 years and 3 months.

I would like someone to update (.. and to put it in green ;D) my timeline: Status in now COMPLETE, and the visa was issued on 08 November.

Thank you all for your support and the valuable informations you provided. Good luck & Fingers cross for your parents too.

Congrats Kerria!!

If your parents are living with you then you get tax breaks (caregiver amount) - I hope you know that.

For federal form - http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/td1/td1-12e.pdf

For provincial - check for your province form - http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/formspubs/frms/td1-eng.html

Thank you very much for links rajmalhotra7!
I didn't know that. It seems you can claim Caregiver amount only if you parent is 65 or older, which is not our case until 2014

syria is HORRIBLE noboday would have thought that this is gonna happen there , we pray for them .
thanks again

Hi Syrian may God bless your family and they all come soon here..take care dear & thanks for answering.

Really. I didn' t knew that. Do you know how much is that?

It may come about to be $190-220 dollars (approx.) per month of savings/tax credits.

This could be another reason why CIC wants our parents to land in later part of the year, so that Canadian government has to provide lesser dollars in tax credits for that year.

Well I am a bit in a complex Situation

My parents are Refugees in Lebanon.The file was suppose to go to Damascus Syria but the LVO is closed there so I was thinking it will be transferred to Beirut Lebanon. The letter I received from Immigration says my application is transferred to Ottawa CPP

Based on the spreadsheet attached to this forum, parents get request to do Medical within a month.

Any advise when can I expect medical and Police certificate?

Nobody can anwer that. Yes, the average for Ottawa seems to be about 4-6 weeks since approval, but again, no guarantees...

You guys did not receive an AOR from NewDelhi after your file was transfered?

Yeah, I haven't received any AOR (no email or regular mail) from New Delhi till now. I have sent them messages few times asking why was a AOR not sent and they haven't responded.
