Thanks for the feedback. I called CIC-Vegreville a while ago. They say it takes 6 weeks for PR application processing to begin. So I can ask to cancel the application as soon as possible. As far as processing times are concerned, those are not always accurate. I see that 90 percent of outland...

Thanks Milena. I'm actually already learning HTML and JavaScript programming at home. But the thought of waiting for 11 months just to get initial assessment done is mind-boggling.

Hi there, I'm considering withdrawing my PR application (inland) as it would take a much shorter time when I apply from Nairobi. Would I get a refund and my original police certificates back? I applied only about 9 days ago and have not received acknowledgement. My plan is to leave Canada and...

Hi Rose, Canadian High Commission in Nairobi can be quiet, but they are working. If you think it is taking too long, send them an email. But do not send one and another shortly afterwards. In the meantime, I have a question: My wife, a Canadian PR has sponsored me from within Canada. I'm also...

The processing dates on the CIC website are not accurate. I applied for visa extension in May 2013 and got a response two months later. But the website still showed that they have not reached my application (considering when I submitted).

Hi, I'm a husband of a permanent resident (we got married abroad 8 months ago). I hold a visitor visa that expires in two months' time. My wife has been working for 4 months. I'm about to make a PR application and with it an open work permit application. Would I still have 'implied status' when...
