Uhmm........why dont some of you start a petition to get IRCC to send the invitations?

Or hire a lawyer to sue IRCC so that they will send out invitations.

Complaining here does nothing.
Relax, we know complaining does nothing but its a forum, and we are anxious and just expressing it that’s all. We are human.

Hi! Has anyone received an invitation to apply yet?

I was able to submit my interest to sponsor my parents (and have my confirmation number), however, I have not heard back, nor have seen anything posted on their Social media/website.

Just wondering if they are still reviewing applications and made some decisions.

Thanks!

They have the proper format on their computers. Just go to any Notary and ask for the affidavit for marriage. Easy.
Good luck for your Invitation.

IRCC has to Invite 20k applicants this year. This is what IRCC is advertising everywhere. What really happened on 28th, nobody knows. We dont even know if 27k people got confirmation emails. We are a very limited number of people in this forum. Cant speak of all 27k. Or their website crashed and they said that 27k spots are filled. Initially they advertised that it will take about 10 minutes to fill the form.
Actually nobody knows, whats happening. Its all assumptions. Some are assuming they are still sorting out duplicates. Some are assuming they are waiting for tax deadline. Some are assuming that Repair group is challenging IRCC. So, its all assumptions.

will be 2+ years , since they raised # of applications till 20k + old ones but still process 20k visas/year
The current processing times for PGP2017 and PGP2018 are much faster than those who applied before that who may have waited up to 10 years. Just pointing up an extra month still means you are getting fast processing.

All 2700o got accepted. They have explained that the applicants after 20000 will get an invitation when one of the first 20000 don't qualify. They have also promised that the rest of the 7000 will have a certain advantage next year. Given the election that isn' a guarantee.

Hey everyone, crossing finges invitations start soon.

Questions about certified copies and translations of documents:

1. When I applied for Permante Residence I sent my birth certificate with translation and certified copy I guess, can't remember. Do you need to send a new certified and translated copy of this againif you are sponsoring your mothe or father?

2. I can't remember what I did for PR. I have a certified copy of my birth certificate in Spanish. Will I need just to translate that here in Canada? I'm not sure if I'm missing something with the certificate. But if it is a cerfieid copy already from the home country I guess all I will need is the translation?

Hi everyone could you please not start again liberals vs conservatives war again. It doesn't lead anywhere other than over-flooding the thread with meaningless posts. So far this thread has been clean enough less keep it that way so when actual information/questions/answers come through everyone can properly comment on it. Thanks ;-)

Hi

I'm looking at the forms that would need to be filled and have a question regarding the Military and or/Paramilitary Service in Schedule A.

My father served in the army for close to 25 years. Within those 25 years he was promoted several times.

The form is a little odd, because for each entry it requests a "Reason for end of service". We are planning to put in multiple entries in this section. Each entry with start and end date for every rank that he held until retirement. Funny enough the "Reason for end of service" is a selection box with no option for promoted or retired and none of the options provided are close to these.

Should I just select the "other" option for all entries?

Thanks
Are you sure one entry for the entire duration won't be enough?

It would make too much sense for them to reuse the document they already have. If you don't submit a new one, your application will be deemed incomplete because it's on the checklist.

That would also make too much sense. People like pretend their wild speculations are certainties. I'm trying to be better about it and ignore it.

Just ignore those posts.
More you point out, more its going to get posted and noticed. So, just dont comment. Read it if you want. If not, skip it.

As far as I know, Birth Certificates of parents are not needed.
Your birth certificate should have your parents' names.
You do not need your parents' income tax return proof. Only your Income proof.
Your last 3 years Notice Of Assessment (2016, 2017, 2018)
Make sure you qualify for the Minimum Income according to your Family size.
