You edited your initial reply to include the part about calling the IRCC and the taxes after I had already replied to make your original reply appear helpful which can be seen in the original quote I posted, which it is not only deceitful, but it also shows bad faith once you started pretending...

I never asked if it was refundable, nor ever claimed that all fees were refundable, in fact I commented only in the context of a OWP, and it clearly says in the page you linked the following: Which I also noted that in my previous replies and a PR OWP applicant is LMIA exempt, so I will...

You consider this free "help"? Then I apologize because I could not see how that was suppose to help with my questions, all I could take from that was the opposite of help. Additionally, I was not aware that I could not look for help in this forum, nor that you decide who gets to have it, so...

Except that you're still mixing automatic updates synced across active applications (biometrics for example) with actual processing of a specific application. The fact that there are steps shared/common between PR and OWP applications synced with each other does not mean that both applications...

Can't really tell what is the relevance of quoting just that single line when there is this one literally right after it: I might not have any idea of what constitutes the "start" of the processing sequence, but I am pretty sure I know what "after" means. And I have been calling since...

Except that "significant processing" isn't significant at all, it hasn't even begun to process any of the eligibility requirements, meaning no officer has even picked up that application, it has been only the system with linked information which isn't even complete. Otherwise as soon as anyone...

It matters the money that was paid for the application which is stuck until it is withdrawn ($255 in fees + $84 biometrics), otherwise we wouldn't be worrying about this.

Spouse applied for an open work permit late lat year along with the family sponsorship as soon as that was feasible, but fortunately the PR was processed and completed even before the OWP began any processing whatsoever other than updates that are automatically linked to the PR (biometrics...

Not to worry, there are so many different application processes and each one with their own nuances it can be hard keeping track of all of them. Since I went through the process of ETA for myself, family and friends I thought it was better for me to make that clear so the user wouldn't waste...

ETA does not generate a UCI, it is a simple air travel authorization that is connected to your passport electronically. In order to have an UCI you have to apply directly with Canada Immigration services (online portal for example) in order to go through any of their application processes that...

An important thing to be aware of is AOR does not replace a person's status. Each applicant must ensure their current status in Canada is still valid, including during the entire application process until they are accepted as a Permanent Resident, which is a status that will then supersede their...

Yes, check my signature for the full timeline if you want to see it in more detail. My spouse got the PR portal invitation 11 days after the fee was paid.

In our case the process went really fast so a few emails got skipped, with one such email being the "Approved In Principle" email/message. Instead we used the email we received to pay the Permanent Resident fee, it included a very specific phrase stating that was basically implicit my spouse had...

Pretty much what @armoured said was our experience at the border, if not even easier. In our case we decided to play it extra safe and have a return ticket, but we ended up not needing it. We bought it on the same day we traveled so we could catch the 24h full refund window. Purpose of visit...

The AOR email for our application included this very distinct paragraph: This confirms that your application to Sponsor a Member of the Family Class has been received by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) on <date> on behalf of the following member(s):

Spouse finally received the PR Card today. We had to contact IRCC again a week ago and they confirmed they had sent the photo for the card production, took exactly 1 week after that for the card to arrive.

I believe it has been patched already. It allowed applicants to check internal status of their application through the browser's console. The trick was to open the browser console while in the application/login page (F12 opens the browser console) and then inspect the network logs when the user...

My spouse's took 20 days to become available for download from the day the document was updated in the portal, others took much less and some took a lot longer. Not very helpful though, but hope it's enough to be a reference to look forward to.

I did in fact link to the relevant information with more details about those specifications though. It's literally linked in the "5 years" portion of my reply...

If the person that did the medical exam was provided with a IME code and the medical exam is still valid at the time of the application (they are valid for 5 years) then there will be no need to do another exam again.
