Hello, I'm planning a trip to Canada with my spouse to visit my sister. I'm going to be applying for a TRV. My sister has PR status in Canada. For the purpose of my trip to Canada should I select family visit or tourism? It seems like the definition of 'family' that I've seen published by the...

Please ignore. I'm re-posting in the correct thread.

Well it depends on a number of factors. Some lawyers are more expensive than others. I'd try to find someone outside of Toronto as lawyer's rates in Toronto tend to be higher than rates outside of the city. For example, Matkowsky is good (they're in Toronto), but they're more on the expensive...

Depending on what the officer's notes say and depending on if you're willing to incur the cost, I would consider consulting with a reputable Canadian lawyer to see if there is chance of success through the judicial review process. I was successful in this path and so, for me, it was worth every...

This is so bizarre to me. I'm not saying I disagree with you and the reality of it, I just find it very hard to accept. There's a level of emotional support not being considered here (especially for women in postpartum) that can't be provided by a nanny. Sometimes having a parent nearby can make...

Hello, just to clarify, are you saying that IRCC's position re pregnancy is that expecting parents should hire help domestically (because it's good for the Canadian economy) rather than have the support of their own parents? Presumably the OPs parents would like to meet their grandchild in...

I'm sorry to hear this. I'm in a similar boat. I applied for a visitor visa for one of my parents early May 2022 and have not received any updates since then (biometrics completed around the same time). The MP route has not helped us either. I think we just need to keep waiting. I don't want to...

Hello, I've applied for a visitor visa on behalf of my mom. We're Brazilian and I have PR status in Canada. My husband is Canadian and our young son is as well. It's been 108 days since we submitted the app and according to the IRCC website the processing time is 70 days. We've gone the MP...

Understood. Thanks. Figured it would be a long shot but if any info at all out there please let me know. I've gone through previous posts on this forum and doing my best to piece it together that way.

Hello, Thank you in advance for any insights. I was refused a visitor visa for a second time and decided to go through the JR process. I recently received a settlement offer from the DOJ for my application to go back to the IRCC for redetermination. I was wondering if anyone could shed some...
