This is going to be long. My family and I (2 parents and 4 sisters) became PRs in 2012. Our ages were 24, 22, 18 (me), 8. My parents couldn’t move at the time due to some complications back home and because we’re from Pakistan, our mother wasn’t comfortable sending us alone due to cultural reasons.
During the next 5 years, my older sisters got married. Neither sponsored their husbands because they couldn’t stay in Canada without them (again cultural reasons). In 2017, we decided to apply for PR renewals based on humanitarian grounds. My oldest sister chose not to.
In 2019, we entered Canada through the US since they called us for interviews. I was the only one who got a full renewal while the others only got 1 year PRs with their final decisions pending. My sister (second one, now 29) was pregnant so she decided to stay in Canada to deliver her daughter and went back to Pakistan after the delivery.
With still no update from IRCC, my second sister (now 33) returned to deliver her second baby in July 2023. Since then she is in Canada. My parents renounced their PRs in August 2023 because they had no intention of staying.
In October 2023, IRCC emailed that they’re finally going to revisit their cases and if they have any updated evidence. My older sister stated that she wants to live here with her Canadian children while my younger one stated that she was a minor at the time and literally had zero say and would like a chance.
Since then, crickets. There’s no correspondence from IRCC. My parents visit visas are pending despite them clearly showing evidence they don’t want to live here and would just like to visit their children. MP has no update either. What can my family do? IRCC should either issue removal orders or grant PRs but having their decisions pending since 4 years is insane. I’m a citizen now and my husband is a PR so my status is clear, which I’m hoping does show IRCC that my family intends to do the same.
