This is really an important and useful thread. I myself opened an account and prepared the online forms - hoping to get a positive decision one day - but could not find these forms for my dependents. I thought that the forms that I've filled includes all the information of my dependents, that...

It is quite normal. So many refugee claimants receive a letter that their claim will be considered as "Less Complex"... However after reading the documents submitted by the claimant, IRB will change the process to a regular hearing. In the "Less Complete" letter, it is clearly stated: This...

The rule is that there is is no rule :( If someone will reply to you that they applied in December 2023 and got a hearing or got accepted, so what? Are you going to feel depressed? anxious? Again.. the rule is that there is no rule.. I applied in August 2023, my file was transferred to IRB in...

Hello Dima, I read in this forum that there are members who travelled with a RTD to Germany and from there they went to Switzerland and were stopped by the Swiss authorities and fined around 600 Euros for not having a Schengen visa. You can definitely apply for a Schengen visa to any EU member...

Congratulations to you and your family.. I hope that you really appreciate what this means to you all, and that you try hard to pay back to this blessed land..

Take it easy. The decision may take at least 2-3 weeks to reach by mail, and it could take 4-5 months, yes MONTHS!! There could be various different reasons for a decision to take such a long time. It's been only 9 days since the hearing so no need to panic. Don't even think about it, just...

Hello Dima. The answer is definitely no! Nooooo! You should not use your Syrian passport. Using the passport means that you accept to go under the protection of the government that you had originally sought protection from. This will trigger a cessation application by the Minister. Read...

Good evening everyone. I have a relative. She is a refugee registered with UN. She is a university graduate (IT) with very good English skills and 2 years work experience. She has been a refugee outside her country for 11 years. Is she entitled under this program? She does not have a job offer...

Yes, unfortunately they were not successful. Maybe in 99% of the cases, dependents of a refugee claimants/ protected persons will not be approved for a visitor visa. The reason is very clear: IRCC are 100% sure that if approved, the dependents will stay in Canada and will not return and wait...

Congratulations! It seems that Edmonton applications are way faster than others maybe.

Oh man. You don't have the full picture. People have just told you bits and pieces, but not the full truth about what you should expect here. The moment you arrive in Canada, you will find a Limousine waiting for you at the airport. Immigration minister will personally greet you at the gate...

Yess... Congratulations Helanaa. Great news! Now to the next steps.. You're getting there, slowly, but surely :) I hope we all will get there too soon

Congratulations brother! IPP: Integrated Pilot Project. People classified under this program are somehow lucky as I read in this forum. Somehow the processing time for their PR is in a way shorter than others (this is my understanding I hope if I am mistaken someone will correct me). It is...

It will not create any issue. Because of the huge backlog, there is considerable delay everywhere. The member who is processing your decision has so much besides your decision. This is why it may be helpful to make a call especially if the hearing was before 2 months or more. I read somewhere...

Usually it takes 3-4 weeks to receive the decision in your mail, but it sometimes takes 3-4 months. I read in the forum that some people waited 5 months until they received the NOD. Maybe it is a good idea to contact IRB to follow up in this regard (by you or your representative if you have one).

Come on!!! You submitted your BOC on Mar 4, 2024... just a couple of months ago and you are already impatient!!? People are waiting 2+ years altogether until they get a hearing.. and if accepted maybe another 2+ years to get their PR. Instead of counting backward, try to get yourself busy. If...

Thank you brother. Very helpful.

Dear @scylla and @Simba112 Thank you for your valuable comments throughout everywhere in this forum. All respect to you both and to everyone like you who are willing to contribute their time and knowledge for the sake of everyone in need in an advice. With regard to this thread, can you...

Hi. If a protected person is applying for PR and has before been refused a TRV from other countries (e.g. USA), does this affect his/her PR application?

Dear @canuck78 Do you mean that a pharmacist (who has non-Canadian university degree and work experience) cannot apply through the express entry or PNP stream? There is no chance at all for such a person to be accepted for immigration to Canada whether through Express Entry or PNP? I know...
