Yes you can. You can travel to your home country (country of citizenship) without any problems because you were never a refugee nor a protected person. Your wife can only travel to back after she becomes a Canadian citizen.

The processing time is presently at 48 months and it counts from when your own application was received by IRCC.

What new immigration policies are you talking about?

Definitely! The stronger your ties to the country where you reside, the brighter your chances of getting a visa. This is common knowledge.

Nothing stops you from applying for a visitor’s visa as long as you’re qualified for it. Being a dependent of a protected person doesn’t disqualify you. Just prove your financial capability and enough ties in your country while applying.

Really sad and frustrating! Just keep hope alive. Have done biometrics and medical? This is also the time to disturb them since you have reached the processing time. The principal applicant should also petition his/her MP with the necessary information.

You can only view their application through eCAS (Client Application Status). The eCAS has no facility to send/receive requested documents. Whatever is required of them is sent via Webform or as directed by IRCC. The next step is determined by IRCC. There’s no uniform steps for all applicants...

The shortest response is NO. It’s only through eCAS you can follow his/her application.

Therefore, it’s advisable to link your application to your GCKey account and monitor it from there. That’s even far better than viewing it on eCAS. All the best.

There are no set rules on when IRCC contacts dependents of protected persons overseas. However, people can give you their experience to help you make judgments. In my case, my family abroad was contacted exactly a month after the processing of my application started. It was via email. Processing...

My understanding of the Pilot Program is that the principal applicant and the dependents abroad are processed together and PR issued at the same time.

A A mismatch of information is the only possible reason you can’t access eCAS. Nothing else. You can cross check the information in your application against what you’re filling now.

This is because there’s a mistake in the information you’re feeding the system. Cross check these details and try again; UCI number, Family (Surname) name, Date of birth and Country of birth (not country of citizenship).

You have to wait for further instructions from IRCC. The next most likely step is to transfer your dependent’s file to a visa office outside Canada where their processing will continue. The visa office should normally be the one covering the country where your dependents reside.

A protected person cannot sponsor a spouse through the family class because the spouse is already a dependent at the time he/she became a protected person. A protected person should add the spouse to his/her application. As a protected person, you can only sponsor a spouse you married after you...

Nobody here knows why their applications were rejected. Only IRCC knows why. If you want to get a visa to Canada, you must prove very strong ties in your country. In your case, as you stated, you have already applied for asylum. I guess it will be difficult to grant you a visa (visitor visa)...

The processing time for dependents outside Canada is 48 months at the moment. It can increase or decrease at any moment depending on their processing history. Note, the 48 months starts counting from when the principal applicant’s application was received by IRCC.

It’s unfortunate you were refused. I know someone in your situation whose own was approved. There’s no one-cap-fits-all in these things. It may just depend on the officer that assessed your case or on your submission. You just need to convince the officer. All the best.

If they need medical and/or Biometrics, they will send you a request through email.

If both applications are still active, you may decide to withdraw one. The choice is yours on the one to withdraw knowing which one has your best opportunity.
