So something weird happened to my niece.
Back story: wife (my niece) in Canada since 2019 for studies. Hubby and 2 kids back in home country. In 2020, hubby received nomination from Alberta, got ITA and submitted application mid-2020. AOR is September 2020. Hubby and kids applied for TRV to come to Canada pending the PR application, thinking COVID will relent and application will be quickly approved. TRV was never processed by IRCC.
Last GCMS notes for PR application in June 2021 showed eligibility and criminality passed, security not started
Meanwhile, wife finished studies and approved for PGWP. Unfortunately due to covid, she could only get NOC C job. Hubby applied for SOWP and SP for kids but was refused 3 times because NOC C job.
End of Dec, out of frustration , wifey emailed her MP (she is in Nova Scotia) pouring out her heart and saying how depressed she is being separated from her husband and kids for so long and would really need help etc.
today, she gets email from IRCC, referring to the inquiry made on her behalf by her MP:
- Apologising for the delay;
- Told her they can see that the PR application has passed eligibility and was awaiting security finalisation, but don't have updated info as it is being processed inland (not sure what that means);
- EMAILED HER PPRs FOR HER HUSBAND AND KIDS BASED ON THE LAST REFUSED SOWP application !!!!
We are still in shock from all these. I personally cannot believe this happened, perhaps until I see the TRV actually stamped on their passports!!
