Hi,

I received passport request,I plan to apply for PR after I land in Canada. I live in USA, 3hrs away from Canadian border. I plan to sponsor my spouse for PR, would it be OK if I travel to Canada every week during sponsorship process so that i need not leave my job. Also gives me time to search for a new job in Canada in the meantime ?
I know to meet residency requirements, so I plan to rent a room in Canada so that I have residency proof. How did you handle such situation ? Would IRCC check travel history ? Can you suggest any alternatives or any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you.

I'm in the same boat, have you tried contacting your MP? They can't do much either but I've at least got mine bugging IRCC for me.

Hey everyone, does anyone have any clue if there is a concerted effort from IRCC to work through the applications faster?
I read an article the other day that Canada is aggressively pushing to get 1m people immigrated into the country next year.
Curious to know if there is tangible progress being made to work through the backlog faster.
Thanks!

I am noticing most PA application in India have a back log and US ones are being processed more faster. We got our medical done early this year and still to do date no PPR or any sort. Anyone having this problem too?

I think it's because the US is opening back up and people are returning to the offices now the vaccinations are widely available while in India the local visa offices have minimal staffing due to the outbreak. Hopefully now that they've started scheduling BILs again it's the start of normal operations.
