Thank you very much to both of you. I don't think that there is anything concerning in their notes, but I still may apply for GCMS just to see if they are working on my case or nobody touched it for months. How to get response from their MP?

I passed the citizenship exam and had an interview in October 2019. Since I lost my old passport, the CBSA report was required. This passport covered only a period of 6 months and my eligibility of getting citizenship in terms of time spent in Canada was not questionable. Actually, I was in...

I would appreciate any comment. Does anyone have similar experience with waiting for almost 12 months after interview and passing citizenship exam? The CIC staff was optimistic about me getting to citizenship ceremony soon as he said that the CBSA report was expected to be available by the...

I said that I am stuck as I am waiting for the citizenship ceremony and getting passport for 11 months. I have never heard that someone was waiting for so long time. Even before Covid-19 it was 5 months that I did not get decision. I am wondering if someone had similar experience? My other...

I have one more dilemma with an application on H&C ground. Does my mother has to stay in Canada all the time before application would be processed? I realize that it may take a long time and she is allowed to stay up to 6 months with the visa exempt passport. As I said already in my previous...

Could I make an application on the H&C ground on my mother behalf or she has to make it. I am concerned about her as she lives as a senior alone with no any family support and with little social support. In these new circumstances where the parental sponsorship application has become a lottery...

Do anyone know if processing the case may go faster if the application was made and supported by an immigration lawyer? I understand that processing time for parents/grandparents stream will continue be going down because of the limited number of randomly selected applicants starting from...

Yes, I qualify from the income perspective, but I did not know about the new rules for the parent/grandparent stream until few days ago. Actually, I wanted to apply and then I realized that it is too late (deadline was on February 2nd). In spite of this drop in the waiting time for parent...

I don't mind to apply through the parent/grandparent sponsorship, but it seems that it is now more the type of lottery and I am not sure about the likelihood of being invited to apply.

Thank you very much for all your responses. The situation around successful H&C cases is exactly the same situation as with my mother. After my father died, she is left alone with no family support and little social support left in her home country.

Could she stay as a visitor in Canada to try H&C application. She has a visa exempt passport. What is the process of the H&C application?

Thank you. It seems that it would be very difficult to get super visa for her because over time she will be less and less capable to function independently and demonstrate an ability to demonstrate ties to her home country, financial independence there, etc. She has no any close relatives in our...

Thank you for your response. Is there any way to bring one parent who has no more children, no spouse and highly dependent on me?? It was easier before, you were allowed to apply, it make take 3-4 years, but finally it will happen. Now it may never happen.

I just heard about changes in the parents/grandparents sponsorship and it seems that lottery is supposed to be open at the beginning of each year for 10,000 people. I am only child and my mother lives alone abroad. My father passed away. She is 70 years of age and healthy. I am eligible and...

Thank you! It sounds good if it is about 4 weeks. I found in some old discussions that it may last longer, even two months.

Does anyone knows how long time the urgent processing of the PRC renewal may take? I found on the CIC website that it is usually about one month. Does anyone have any experience with that? Thank you!

Thank you so much for your answers. This is very helpful. They advised me that I should contact an immigration lawyer to get a proof of immigration status. Do you know if lawyers can check the validity of PR status quickly? If application for a PRC is only way and if I would ask for an urgent...

Hi, I get a job offer and my employer asked me for a copy of permanent resident card as a proof of my status in Canada. I sent it, but they commented that my PRC expired recently. I did not know that a valid PRC is a requirement for employment and I have not yet applied for a new PRC. I told...
