For online applicants: Is anybody considering cancelling their online application and resubmitting a paper one? I'm tempted but unsure... Any thoughts?

Same here, and I'm tempted to create a separate thread because there's a clear distinction between the speed in which paper applications are moving vs online.

Tell us more :)

Hello all, A friend of mine is waiting for the FSW draws to resume in July, however she'd like to make calculations on how long it would take to receive an ITA. Do you know if there's a tool that would help her calculate? I understand it'd be a hypothetical exercise as we don't know yet the...

Congrats! So you sent two paper applications and have already moved faster than us who just sent one online :p I feel cheated lol

Saying that a “broken immigration system” will make this country end up only with refugees and asylum seekers implies that you think there are undesirable characteristics attached to those groups. But you already know that, you’re just playing dumb. And btw I’m not a refugee/asylum seeker, but...

What’s wrong with refugees and asylum seekers? So cringey you think so highly of yourself because you can pay to immigrate to another country. “Luvtrump” makes perfect sense.

AOR this morning as well Type: Online application Location: Montreal Physical Presence Days: 1,100 + Application: Single Application sent: December 3, 2021 Delivered: December 3, 2021 AOR: February 11, 2022

Thank you. I screwed up, I sent only PR card and foreign passport as proof of identity because my health care doesn't have a picture. In theory they'll return my documents you say? Will I lose the application fee as well? Anything I can do at this point to save my application? TIA

Again can you please indicate where is this stated? The official checklist doesn't make any mention of the fact that PR is accepted only in addition to another Canadian ID. https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/citizen/cit0007e-2.pdf

Thanks. There's literally no mention about the no-travel requirement. For the family piece it says "if you're applying for yourself, not with your family". This doesn't mean that you have to not have a family, only that you can't apply together.

Can you share an official link where this is stated?

Hello, My spouse's PR was approved and he received his PPR letter this morning. In the letter he's been given two options to submit his passport: VAC or Visa Office. Do you have any recommendations on what to do? I find it strange that they're giving two options, we're unsure which one is...

Inform your Visa Office through e-mail/webform and they will notify CIO to send your husband a letter of approval to sponsor you. You submit that letter + other required documents to MIFI to obtain a CSQ. Once approved they will send it to your VO, who in turn should send a new CoPR with updated...

Well, obviously that didn't happen, so you can keep your non-contributing comment to yourself.

Hi frange, Here's a rough timeline: Application sent: August 2019 AOR: September 2019 Biometrics: October 2019 Medicals: November 2019 Sent to Mexico VO: December 2019 PCC: June 2021 Any input would be greatly appreciated!

@canuck_in_uk @scylla Hello all! I'm in a similar situation as the OP, however in my case I am already approved as a sponsor and my spouse has received a pre-arrival services letter. I contacted IRCC many months ago to request the CSQ letter along with an address change. They changed the...

Hello all, I just wanted to share an update in case someone else is in a similar situation and is searching for help. After speaking with a consultant who didn't know hsit (don't hire consultants), we retained a lawyer with experience in Procedural Fairness letters. We submitted a professional...

Thank you all for your valuable insights. @scylla another (hopefully final) related question: would a certified immigration consultant be as qualified as a trained lawyer to provide advice in a matter such as this? Thanks so much in advance.

Armoured, in fact the lease for my previous rental ended on May 31st, 2017 and it's only on my name as I lived alone. So there's an overlap of two weeks on the two leases. In fact I have texts with my former landlord indicating that I moved out on the 27th of May, 2017. Do you think that's an...
