During eligibility.

@legalfalcon we have a valid CoPR already and waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted...
When we sell our home, we will have way more than enough money for the PoF... When my parents want to give me (let's say) 15k CAD before I leave... Would I need a gift deed for this gift too? As without this money we would also have enough. (Even when it would be a Lian, we could pay it back and still reach the minimum amount for pof)

 

[legalfalcon]

If the eligibility is passed by the officer, will the security be started without biometric? Does security depend on biometric and crimininality / info sharing on being completed first?

If your biometrics are not provided then your criminality and info sharing will be pending but security will start. Security starts when IRCC sends a request to the National Security Screening Division (NSSD) and screening partners. To read on security, see https://bit.ly/3qIkkqU

Biometrics are required for criminality and info sharing.

You only have to sow required pof when you file our application and when you land. Any additional money over the required minimum pof, by sale of an asset or receive as a gift is not required to be show to IRCC.

You can transfer those additional funds to Canada by any means. If you bring over CAD 10K in cash you will have to declare them. If you transfer them electronically, there is no need to declare them to IRCC or cBSA.

I was just checking my Application and its status showed application updated. However there was no change in the application. I guess it was indication of eligibility starting.
How much time does it take to complete eligibility???
I guess elegibility is the major part and high chances for application to reject. Is it true.??
Thanks in advance.

Eligibility is the most time consuming stage where all your documents are reviewed and made sure that the CRS points you claimed are backed. It can take 1-4 months, a substantial part of the processing. This is also where most applications are rejected.

Before starting your application process with an Immigration Consultant, you should check that they are licensed and hold an ‘active’ status on ICCRC’s Public Register http://bit.ly/2LLrEjv

Asking on behalf of a friend in distress!!

As a valid COPR holder (along with spouse and an infant) he booked a flight to Toronto from his home country. Upon reaching the airport he was being advised by the airlines that his infant can't travel as his visa was approved & issued after 18th March 2020. They were only allowing him and spouse to travel as their visa approval date was before 18th march 2020.

Finally he travelled alone leaving behind wife/ kid and became a PR.

His question is does he need travel authorisation letter for both or just kid (under immediate family member category)?

Being a PR how soon he can expect a reply

TIA

@legalfalcon Pls

@legalfalcon Pls

Since your friend is now a PR, his immediate family, i.e. spouse and child do not need a authorisation letter to travel as they are exempt from travel restrictions.

Immediate family members of Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act and permanent residents
A foreign national who is an immediate family member of a Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian under the Indian act or permanent resident is exempt from the travel restrictions and permitted to travel to Canada if they have the required documentation for travel.

If the immediate family member of the Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian or permanent resident’s stay in Canada will be 15 days or longer, they are to be considered to be travelling for a non-discretionary or non-optional purpose. If the foreign national is travelling for less than 15 days, they must be travelling for a non-discretionary or non-optional purpose. Officers should be flexible when processing immediate family members of Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians and permanent residents of Canada travelling for less than 15 days, if they are travelling for a non-discretionary or non-optional purpose. The Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian or permanent resident immediate family member may be in Canada or accompanying the foreign national.

Travellers are expected to self-identify to airlines at the point of boarding that they are exempt under this provision by presenting documentation to establish their family member’s Canadian citizenship, status as a person registered as an Indian or permanent resident status, as well as their relationship to that family member.

For more information on the extended family member process, refer to Extended family members departing from the U.S. or countries other than the U.S.

Immediate family member is a child
Where the foreign national is a child, age and dependency determine whether they meet the family member definition under the IRPR as a dependent child, and consequently whether they meet the immediate family member definition of the Orders. However, note that while a foreign national who is an adult child (over the age of 22) of a Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian under the Indian Act or permanent resident is not an immediate family member, they are an extended family member.

Note: Immediate family members of Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians or permanent residents do not require any written authorization from IRCC.

Positive Coronavirus Test? Canadians Worry Their Neighbors Will Find Out

The fear of public shaming is becoming so prevalent in some Canadian provinces that doctors worry it is driving virus cases underground.


News from stateside... read the full article at https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/21/world/canada/coronavirus-public-shaming.html


Canadians might be known internationally as nice, apologetic and fair-minded. But, a year after the pandemic arrived, some Canadians worry it has exposed a very different national persona: judgmental, suspicious and vengeful. Covid-shaming has become fervent in parts of the country, with locals calling for the heads of not just politicians and doctors breaking the rules but their own family members and neighbors.


Complaint lines — or so-called “snitch lines” — set up across Canada have been flooded with tips about people suspected of breaking quarantine rules, businesses flouting public health restrictions and outsiders, arriving with unfamiliar license plates, potentially bringing the disease with them.

So,No AL is required in case of an immediate family member of a Canadian citizen BUT as an IFM of a Permanent Resident requires an AL to travel.... right?

A foreign national who is an immediate family member of a Canadian citizen, person registered as an Indian under the Indian act or permanent resident is exempt from the travel restrictions do not need a written Authorisation letter from IRCC.

Since you have landed, you are now a PR, and your immediate family is exempt from travel restrictions, and also do not need an AL to travel.


Definition of immediate family members
The definition of immediate family members set out in the Orders is broader than the definition of family members in subsection 1(3) of the IRPR.

Immediate family members in respect of a person are

• the spouse or common-law partner
• the dependent children of the person or of the person’s spouse or common-law partner
• any dependent children of a dependent child
• parents or step-parents
• parents or step-parents of the spouse or common-law partner
• guardians or tutors
  • Guardians and tutors are individuals who are responsible for caring for a foreign national minor who is living apart from a parent for an extended period of time, for example to attend a secondary school in Canada. The guardian or tutor should be able to demonstrate that they habitually reside at the same address as the minor. Officers should be flexible in accepting documentary evidence.
