Hi experts, I hope this is the right place for this question My parents have immigrated to Canada for a few calendar years. I understand that to qualify for the Old age security benefit, they must have resided in Canada for over 10 years but how is it calculated? Does it have a requirement like...

I am asking this for my cousin. She is applying for a PR for her parents. Her parents also have valid visitor visa. They are coming shortly under that visa and suddenly she got a letter to collect the biometric (fingerprints I would assume) and there might not be enough time to get it before the...

Hi, My parents will be landing soon. When they fill the declaration card, are they still "visitors"? If so, do they fill in 365 days for intended duration of stay? Thanks

Congrats!! Quick question, did your online status once show "Decision made"? How long have you waited for the next step? Is it a passport request? Thanks!

Thank you for the hint. I have tried 3 to 8 (in which case 3 and 8 do not make any sense to us at all regarding to my family size in any format...). I have tried application number (is it the F000xxxx number?) and client ID. Client ID is tricky because it is the same one when I applied for the...

What is the original documents you are talking about? Expect some letters (e.g. the one requesting medical exams) I have not received any original documents (that I provided)... Is it bad? Thanks!

Thanks. I have tried many combinations and still could not link it... I have tried my parents' info and mine info and it still could not find a match.. You can only try 5 per day so it is taking a long time. Another question, it had been a couple weeks since the online application status for...

Hi did you guys see that you can link the application with an CIC account? I have heard that the new applications from 2015 can be linked and it is much more convenient now. However I tried for a few days (since you can only try 5 times a day) and it still complain that it could not find the...

Hi dear forum members, I have just received the medical exam IMM1017 forms! Finally after a long waiting there is progress again. However I do have two questions 1. I have checked the application status online and both the "Sponsorship" and "Permanent Residence" Application Status are "In...

Thank you all for your responses

Is it possible to extend the stay of the super-visa by another year or so? Thanks!

.. I think that there was misunderstanding... She has a supervisa but getting to the end of the 2-year period. She did go through the medical exam. She has valid insurance. Problem right now is to get her to stay longer, whether as PR or under supervisa.. However it seems to be difficult. We are...

Thanks. I am also asking in this forum about the extension of the supervisa however the info I got was that it was not intended for long staying...

Hi, My Dad passed away at the end of 2014. I then submitted sponsorship and immigration application at the end of 2015 (for the 2016 batch). My mom is living lonely in her home country and I am her only child. Is there anyway to communicate with CIC to explain our situation and is there any...

Thank you all for the helpful information!

Just out of curiosity, how would the CIC know when she left the border? Do they get informed by the airlines? There is no exit check in Canada as far as I know at the airports..

Thank you for your response. So if she leaves in Feb of 2017, and returns immediately within a month, the officer might give her trouble again correct? Any length of period would you suggest for staying in her home country before coming to Canada again in this case?

Thank you both. So I will not risk that.

Hi, another quick question So my mom is under a regular visa and she got a stamp for 6-month period. However the last day is in August so it is the busy season and flight tickets are very expensive. Only 6 days later there is much cheaper flight ticket for her to return. Is it a big deal to...

Need some advice here... So my mother-in-law applied and got PG-1 category supervisa with expiry date some time in 2021. She first came under the visa in Feb 2015. She got a stamp of two years which was great. Then she left in Feb 2016 (so after one year of staying) for her home country. She...
