Can I send it now or ealier? Or are they actually refusing applications until the 4rth of January? (or 2nd)

Looking to sponsor a parent from the USA but saw this notice on the CIC website: "Citizenship and Immigration Canada has now received 5,000 complete applications and the new intake into the PGP program will again pause until next year. The government will continue to move forward with the...

What about if she leaves and return before the official expiration date of September 30th? This latest VR was issued at the border and only valid for 1 month. The officer said this will give her sufficient time to renew it online and she specifically told the officer she would be leaving...

This latest VR was issued at the border and only valid for 1 month. The officer said this will give her sufficient time to renew it online. This was the second VR issued after the first one of 6 months expired. She will be leaving the country before this current 1 month VR expires but may return...

So is it worth the $100 to apply for renewal considering she will be exiting again in a week?

Applicant in spousal sponsorship from Outside of Canada is visiting/living in Canada with her husband and children while she waits. She travels back and forth to the USA about once every 1-3 months. Last entry she was given a visitor record for 1 month and told to renew it online. If she leaves...

And finally, If she leaves before it lapses, would that pose no problem at all? Presumably they would let her re-enter back into Canada on the next trip and possibly issue her a new visitor record? Or is the point of the visitor record to prevent her from doing just that? Is a US citizen not...

Thanks Fellas, Also, how long does it take to process the application? What if she has to travel back to the USA in the meantime?

Better safe than sorry I guess. How does one go about applying online?

Hey Fellas, 3 month visitor record stapled into passport is expiring soon. Applicant is from the USA (Outland) and visits/stays with hubby and children while she's here. Must she apply for change of conditions (extension) while she's here? Or should she just let it lapse? Do things restart...

Hey All, Received a letter from CPC Sydney saying that they are sending the citizenship certificate application to Program Support Unit for Final decision and may result in further delay. Is this a bad sign? Good sign? Applicant was born to CDN parent overseas. Applicant applied for...

UPDATE - After weeks of trying, and even getting the local MP involved, they still say that "they require additional proof". The dad is not going to travel overseas just to take care of this. They are considering DNA test but wife's spousal sponsorship is in final approval stages and they are...

Thanks fellas.

Spousal sponsorship is completed but has not yet been sent in as waiting for Option C printout. Tax return was not filed yet and causing delays in Option C printout. Is there a time limit on the signed forms expiring? I think I once heard you have 90 days to get them to CIC once they are signed...

Hmmm, ya thanks for that info. This specific case would be a US citizen and the wait time is about 12-14 months.

So essentially based on a 4 month waiting period to get the OWP, we are looking at 7 months total before one can apply for OHIP coverage. Just trying to weigh full pros and cons looking at inside application vs. outside. So with an application inside Canada and a 2 year OWP after 4 months...

Hey Folks, Just wondering about this new pilot program for FCS in Canada who can now apply for open work permit together with their permanent residence application. It says on CIC website that it will take about 4 months to receive the work permit. When would OHIP eligibility kick in? OHIP...

Hey All, I would like to organize a monthly Toronto meet-up to discuss current immigration topics/trends and share knowledge, ideas, and wisdom. This first meet-up topics will cover Family Class sponsorships and the new Open work permits for certain members of the family class as well as...

So you're saying if this kid becomes a naturalized citizen he can one day have a child abroad and still pass on CDN citizenship to that child, whereas if he obtains it as a right, he can not pass it on to future children unless they're born in Canada? Also, I imagine child will need medical...

So CPC/Call centre is saying that because dad's name (CDN citizen) was left off the birth certificate this is an indication that the mom did not want her child to have CDN citizenship. For this reason, they are saying that DNA match will not help since even though it will prove that father is...
