Are you from Calgary by any chance? Calgary's extremely slow. But the bright side is that it seems to be moving a bit faster than usual recently.

My timeline is similar to you. Where's your location?

Hi, I'm contemplating moving from AB to BC for family reasons, and just wanted to know if anyone has experienced massive citizenship delays due to a move? Would want to know if delays are expected, specifically for two scenarios: 1. Moving between provinces before receiving test invite 2...

For your spouse? How long did it take, and from which country did you apply from?

Hi all, I'm a Canadian PR planning to apply for a TRV to bring my wife to Canada and start the inland spousal process. I've heard the approval process can be very difficult though. Can anyone give me tips on how to get her TRV approved? Thanks!

Congrats! Where's your location?

Congrats! What date did you apply?

Hi, I'm a Canadian PR currently contemplating applying a TRV for my wife who's overseas, and just sponsoring her inland from within Canada. Any tips on how to file a successful TRV application for an overseas spouse? I heard that the process can be quite challenging, especially for PRs and...

I'm actually trying to get a TRV for my spouse too. Any tips on how to get spousal TRV approved? I heard that it can be a very difficult process.

Thanks @canuck78! I've noticed that you're super helpful around the forum, and I really appreciate that. :) Good to know that TRV + inland isn't as scary as it sounds, despite the inherent risks that come with it. Would you know if there's any thread in this forum centered around getting TRV...

Hi all, Canadian PR here trying to bring my wife from a "tourist visa required" country to Canada. I was initially exploring outland sponsorship, but had a chat with a consultant earlier who said that bringing my wife to Canada on a tourist visa and applying inland spousal + open work permit...

Thanks! I've only been a PR for four years but I spent my first 3 years in Canada (with just over a month of outside travel in total). I spent the fourth year outside the country due to family reasons. Could the time spent outside mean that my application requires more in-depth analysis, and...

Hi all, I have a two-part question, and I hope that you could help me out: 1. What is the "real" processing time for PR card renewal? The IRCC website says 137 days, but I've read posts saying it's actually much longer. Is there a PR card tracker excel sheet similar to the spousal /...

Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm a PR sponsoring my wife who is overseas, and have an offer from a Canadian employer for a job that can be done from anywhere in the world. Would it be okay to leave Canada to be with my wife while waiting for approval as long as I maintain my...

Hi all, I'm a Canadian PR sponsoring my spouse who lives overseas soon, and just wanted to ask if it's harder (or takes longer) to get sponsor approval if I'm a freelancer vs. being an employee? I know that the requirements are different if you're self-employed vs. employed by a company, and I...

Any chance we can get the IRCC Calgary office's email so we can follow up our own applications? :D

Never got asked for FP thankfully, but just thinking in advance. If they never requested FP before changing my BG verification status to complete, are they unlikely to do so in the future?

Hi all, Apologies if this has already been asked. Does IRCC still usually request fingerprints after Background Verification has been set to "Completed"? I heard that fingerprints are only valid for a certain amount of time, and I'm just curious if they still need to request new samples even...

Thanks for clarifying! I was starting to have a little bit of hope there. I did notice that Calgary recently issued a small number of test invites this October 2021. Prior to that, the last batch of test invites they sent was on July 2021. If the trend were to continue, there's a (very) small...

What sort of update did you get from Calgary?
