I paid everything upfront (at the moment of applying, so I paid them in 2021) so now they need to refund me. Unfortunately, I had a feeling I'd be rejected since I got an ADR but no medical (usually people got them at the same time) so there was something about my work experience or business...

I'm not sure if I can appeal through a lawyer or if it's even worth it. The funds I provided were based on the Express Entry requirements for 2 people. Their main explanation was that I did not meet the eligibility requirements. I had a very high IELTS score of 8.5, tons of work experience...

NOC 5121 Rejected because they said I had lack of funds (this is untrue, I had more than sufficient funds). Business plan and work experience didn't satisfy them that I'll be able to be self employed in Canada. In my personal opinion, these things are not true, I have over 10+ years of...

My application was just rejected. I wish all of you the best of luck!

Hi everyone, I have sort of an update in my GC account that's left me super-confused: Today I logged in without a particular reason, just to check for updates. Didn't receive anything by email. When I logged in, it said something like "application updated" instead of the usual "submitted". My...

Let's hope that's next for me. I feel like if the visa was to be rejected, it would've happened by now but then again, maybe they haven't even started reviewing the documents I sent... We just never know, waiting for this visa has been one of the hardest things of my life...

Thanks so much! I read that visitor visas now come with the right to look for a job while you're in Canada and apply for a work permit and this will last until February 2025. This sounds promising, as I'm a little worried my ADR didn't come at the same time with medical request like for many...

Does visitor visa count as a different application? I'm thinking I should apply for it while I'm waiting on a final decision, my application hasn't moved since April.

Same here, my ADR was in April and I'm still waiting to even know if I'm eligible.

Can someone share how much time it took from ADR to medical if you didn't get them at the same time?

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1310&top=23 If you applied through the IRCC secure account Sign in to your account. Look for your application under View the applications you submitted. Under the Action column, click Check full application status. At the top of the...

Hi, not sure if this is helpful, but I recently also had to fill out a similar form (5669e) and there was no way to validate and add a signature so I just uploaded it in the portal and before I clicked submit, the system asked me to sign virtually inside, so maybe this is their new way to...

Congrats! I don't know about your country but I've read for mine that it takes VFS offices around a week or two to stamp visas and get your passport back. Of course, this is not accurate information, just something I've heard. I think it's best to call them and ask about the timeline? That way...

In my situation personally, there was a 10-month period between my AOR + biometrics and ADR with absolutely nothing in between. Then all of a sudden we got an ADR in April but no medical. Couldn't tell you what's happening with the progress bar because I don't have one...

I got the message but I don't have a progress bar and haven't had one since my AOR.

Congratulations!

Well hopefully this is good news because the backlog and processing times are actually insane. Maybe now they'll finally focus on our applications and speed up the process. I saw yesterday that processing time is 52 months.

You ABSOLUTELY need to take IELTS for the Self-Employed stream. You're applying for Permanent Residence, not a work permit. The program is not changing, it's been placed under pause until at least January 2027, which means they won't be accepting new applications anymore. See here...

Is not seeing a progress bar normal nowadays? I see people talking about it in the forum but I haven't had a progress bar ever, since I linked my application to the online portal. Is this something I need to contact them about or it's pretty much a useless feature? God knows I'd LOVE to have at...

Congratulations!! This is wonderful news!
