    Why are these Visa applications taking so long to process?

    Hi DanMac, yes you applied for the business class, but do you remember if your application was under Federal or for Quebec? That's the biggest concern right now, as the other members are trying to point out; federal pending applications are being terminated. Either way, the estimated processing...

    PR CARD ADDRESS

    As long as your dependents have a valid permit/status (e.g. study/work permit) in Canada that isn't expiring soon, they can stay and have their passports couriered to you. I would recommend your dependent to make a copy of the passport, and hold onto their permit as this is not needed by the...

    Can a member of family who resides in Canada already land seperately for PR?

    you don't need to go back to UAE, you can either "land" via inland offices (I believe this process is longer) or go to USA. This forum does mention something about "flag-poling", which for some reason makes me feel uneasy, I would rather apply for a USA visa first then go to the border for...

    TERMINATION OF FEDERAL INVESTOR/ENTREPRENEUR CATEGORY

    This is my first post in this forum, despite having anonymously followed it for years. Sadly, my first post isn't quite a positive one considering CIC's intent to terminate this program. Having waited for 6 years, like many others, and jumping through all the numerous hurdles to get our file at...
