As a postscript to the above post, I'll add that last week I completed PR applications for the 3 dependent children of my wife's sister, who arrived in Canada in December 2023 to be with her Canadian husband. I was their rep for the PR application and I handled ours and theirs at same time.
By end of this week, I'll complete and submit TRV applications for the 3 young kids, relying, to a large extent, on the loose talk of more generous acceptance of PR applicants for TRVs. Their PR applications show an anticipated processing time of 15 months, while TRVs from their country are showing 21 days as processing time. If it takes 15 months, they won't be an able to start the new school year in September 2024.
I have really no idea of what to expect on the TRV front. Maybe wasting $300 in application money. The sister and husband are relying on me, having scant idea themselves about any of this, hence I was elected as rep for their sponsorship/PR application. I considered keeping quiet about the TRV idea, but weakened and I told them and they want to try it, notwithstanding my warnings that it is fraught with risk of failure. If it fails, I know I'll still feel responsible for getting them into it. I felt the same level of anxiety about their sponsorship/PR application. What if it failed? It would be tempting to lay the blame at my feet. Happily, that one worked out and I came out smelling like a rose. Can I pull it off again?
