There are people waiting to get pr approved but had applied in 2018, 2019, 2020. Have read about cases where the last 3 years of income from when medical is requested is looked at. So depending on how long the case takes and which year the friend's income didn't qualify for he or she may be...

I do not think for parents you need this level of explanation that why they will return and why they should visit you. I have applied for my parents and spouse's parent and the applications were approved. The undertaking you and your wife are giving are important in my opinion. Also make sure...

Try reaching out to IRCC and mention what happened and see if a request can be considered to include you in the pool. Kind of odd that you bring this up after 3 years. Anyways no harm in trying. There are still many 2021 applicants waiting for their process to be completed. So if IRCC can take...

Can share our experience, when my spouse did it for hers we gave our proof of funds and a financial support declaration in the letter of invite. Had nothing to show ties to home country. I think ties are more important to show for younger people. Post COVID I suppose family reunification is...

Not sure if it means much. We called almost a month ago. Got the same news. However, no action since then. Our case was application moving from Mississauga to Vancouver last year. You may have a better luck if your office all along has been Vancouver. Keep the group posted.

May be you are talking about Mississauga office. That office usually moves files which will take longer elsewhere. And they put some random statement that based on blah blah we are moving your file to xyz office. Then the next office moves that file to the end of their priority queue. Anyways...

Spring break!!

Going by dates you seem to be part of PGP2022. However you posted in 2021 thread. Anyways all the best for the rest of the process.

Try removing the X from prefix to link. I suppose if the family name is blank then use the first name. For #2 I guess you are right in including everyone. Anyways search through this thread as there were such queries and responses that helped during Dec 2023 to Jul/Aug 2023. All the best!

Now average processing time is up to 26 months. In 5 to 6 months it is up by roughly the same number of months. Signs of things to come :(

As per below one should have primary residential address in Canada. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/sponsor-parents-grandparents/eligibility.html

I believe your application is in PGP2021 cycle. Going by different posts my take is that Vancouver office is either heavily understaffed or bunch of procrastinators. In either case if you are from 2021 cycle and hence past 24 months current processing time they most likely will not sleep over...

In the earlier posts have read people doing that. In fact I felt that helped them speed up the process. Just sort out how you can get PCC from Canada. Again have read many people get that as well from here. Just check for all the PCCs you need. Also go over the link below. It seems earlier...

Have read on this forum that post 24 months before one can write to local MP and request their intervention to get proper status updates and enquire reasons for delay.

Nope. Haven't heard of applications moving in Vancouver. So feel gcms notes are not going to help in processing faster. If applications in Vancouver start moving and still we don't hear back for a couple of months then will ask for gcms notes.

Please keep us posted. In Sep after SA ours was moved from Mississauga to Vancouver. Since then pin drop silence.

And delaying the process by a year or so will save a lot? What you have mentioned is already controlled by how many applicants are allowed for PGP every year. I would prioritize by clearing at least 90 to 95% applications of an earlier intake year before processing the next year applicants. What...

Wish they had their act much more organized. Anyways can't blame them, the whole IRCC department in a way should be accountable. If they see different service standards across offices they should know Vancouver is sub-par on PGP applications.. What on earth takes so long for approving...

Then you missed this: I guess no option but to wait another year or so.

Does he have an old expired passport? Maybe you can upload that and put in the explanation letter that you are awaiting passport renewal along with evidence of renewal request. If he does not have a passport at all I suppose missing the deadline is not an option. You can upload an explanation...
