Extended family member authorization

[scylla]

Hi, if I apply for my brother, can he travel with his wife and minor kids on approval?

Your brother can travel. Unfortunately his wife and minor child cannot travel under the current restrictions. They will need to wait until travel restrictions have eased.

Hello everyone. Just an update. I got my application within few days together with TRV application.

I applied an authorization last March 11 and got an approval on March 16.

Could you please share your complete timeline?

Guys I have difficulties to understand how to procede here.

I'm a temporary resident, i should receive the pr in the next months but I really need my family here by this summer. For family I mean father, mother and sister (because my parents don't speak English and with all the stuff that you have to do now to travel it would be impossibile to arrive here without her).
So 3 people.

I need the written authorization, I understand that, but how it works for 3 people? I need to ask 3 different authorization? and if I only need one, the notarized declaration of relationship (im0006) I need 3 of them?

Do they have visas. Three forms as each needs authorizatio.

They have eta.
Do you mean 3 requests on the web form or same request but with 3 different family declarations?

Hi, my sister applied for written authorization for extended family member on April 26th 2021 through the webform. She already has a visitor visa and will be traveling into Canada from the US. She got an acknowledgment email right away. It has been over 14 days now and no response yet from IRCC. Can anyone tell me if there is any way to follow up on the status of the request or what the usual timeline is?

Hi
Did you receive any update?

Hi @legalfalcon
My sister is a canadian citizen. I am applying for AL under extended family member exemption.
I would be greatful if you can answer below queries.
1. I have a 4 year old son and I know he is not exempted from current travel reatrictions. So can I just apply AL for myself and if yes, do I have to mention anything about my son in the letter.
2. The reason that I want to reunite with my sister is enough?
3. In my letter if I mention that I am visiting/reuniting with my sister for 3 weeks, then will I get AL for only 3 weeks?

Thank you

1. No. Only the related individual can apply. Not the related individuals immediate family.

2. yes

3. if you say you will only be here for 3 weeks, then most likely the reason for travel is non-discretionary. However, the AL will not have a duration, which will be determinate by the border officer when you land.

Hi @scylla i applied for my partner (extended family). I got the phac letter. However the next day, Trv was rejected on purpose of visit, travel history and personal assets and finance. I applied through an agency and no response about written authorization. Is it because trv was rejected, they wont respond regarding written authorization? Thank you
