Have you tried to apply for a TRV for compassionate reasons? Would include proof of your medical condition (medical records, appointments lists, surgery/procedures, hospitals admissions/ER visits), a letter from your physician explaining your diagnosis and prognosis, symptoms you are...

Agree but would certainly be best to have a few people especially family attend the civil service. A little celebration afterwards can be as simple as a backyard bbq or lunch at a restaurant although I’d splurge on a few simple wedding themed decorations and maybe a small but simple cake that...

If parents wanting/needing to live with you is a high priority, Canada may not be a good option. Parent sponsorship is not guaranteed and especially not within a certain timeframe. You will need to meet a certain income requirement for typically at least 3 years just to qualify but then will...

If you have final decisions then you are in line for P1/P2. If final decision not made you are waiting for your file to be reviewed once more before you get final decision.

It is a yearly cap so after your apply/get approved you essentially get into a long queue. Every year Quebec accepts a certain amount of applicants and once the quota has been reached applications in queue move to the next year and that keeps going year until your application is approved. Yes...

This is problematic. You really need proof of continuous cohabitation starting from July 2024 and then throughout the 1 year period.

Better to be informed and know the process. Knowing that P1 and P2 only happen after final decision/approval will give them an idea of when they are actually in line for P1 and then P2 which is sadly also quite a long wait as well. Also gives them an idea of what they should be looking for...

At 51 you have to examine the ROI if you attempt to return to school. Many degrees will not change your employment prospects and if you only have a 2 year bachelors degree that may also limit what programs you may qualify for. The job market is also ageist. Much tougher to get back to work as...

Yes should be fine. Returning before your TRV expires is a much better option so you can maximize the amount of time you can work under PGWP.

Who has been caring for him? It may be very difficult for your brother to get a TRV because there will be concerns he will remain in Canada given he is now an orphan and there is no legal guardian. If you want to sponsors your brother because he is an orphan there is a process for that.

If your employer won’t support a new WP are they still supportive of the reconsideration? You may want to clarify if they have pulled their support in general since they suggested you should leave in 2 weeks (not up to them when you leave).

Have you passed background checks? Pre-arrival letter can be sent at any point and is purely administrative so does not mean background checks and done and you have final decision. Once you have final decision you are in line for P1 and P2.

Lying about your residency location to IRCC can have significant consequences like a refusal/ban so yes it is a bad idea to lie about where you live. Not sure why that is controversial. On top of that it could also lead to things like insurance and healthcare fraud so if you had an accident for...

Spouse isn’t listed because they could sponsor you through spousal sponsorship. Why is that not an option?

You can google the various 3rd party companies that offer the service or if you know someone in Canada they can order it for you.
