PR under Ukraine Family Reunification Public Policy

[JulianS]

Any updates from anyone? Has anyone received their PR under this program?

It is like watching paint dry!

Actually, paint dries a lot faster.

I see that many countries have now frozen asylum claims from Syrians. This has me somewhat concerned that should the war stop in Ukraine, the Canadian government could put a stop to all of our applications. What are your thoughts on this?

Please stop panicking.
A) Govenrment can't just cancel already submitted applications for a program it itself initiated. This would be immediately challenged in court.
The same goes for a possible conservative government. Once an application has been submitted, it can't be cancelled without a cause and eligibility can't change retroactively, no matter who is in power.
What a new government can do is cancel, stop receiving new applications and change eligibility for any immigration program it wants, but this is irrelevant for our program as it has already ended and no new submissions are possible

B) May be we should create application tracker just like the ones for other PR programs. That would help is understand a process better and keep calm

This government looks close to collapse. Freeland is stepping down. The government is now reneging on the $250 HST cheques. Again I ask, is this government or the next going to go back on promises.

It is amazing how nothing gets done over the Christmas holidays.

It is amazing how nothing gets done over the Christmas holidays.

I can confidently say that government employees often spend about 80% of their work time idle throughout the year.
Having worked on contracts with a few governmental organizations, I found it difficult to witness this firsthand.

As they should!
