    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    That's what I thought, just interesting to have two valid visas at the same time. For some reason, I thought the older one would have been crossed. But it makes sense. Kind of :) Thanks!

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Hi guys, Our PA has received her passport with "IM-1" visa in it, along with the CoPR papers. Noticed that the previous visitor's visa has not been crossed, stamped or otherwise cancelled or invalidated - is it their normal practice? So to say, PA can then decide, whether to travel as a...

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Hi guys, Yesterday we received a request for passport to submit via VFS Global. Here's our timeline: October 2020 - Interest to Sponsor October 2023 - Invitation to Apply June 2024 - Request to submit IMM 1344 hand-signed (was signed electronically as per the form itself and the guide, but...

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Why did you apply as a sponsor in 2021, if you were not eligible, based on the previous 3 years' MNI? Allowing you to resubmit newer NOA's would be absolutely unfair to those candidates who were willing to apply in 2021, but could not do so due to insufficient income. It should not matter if the...

    Parents & Grandparents Program (PGP) 2023

    Hi guys, From your experience, how did you submit attachments over 5 Mb? I understand we should try to compress everything, but if all options are depleted to the point where it becomes totally illegible, what did you do? They have requested a document which is a lot of pages. Along with...

    Hi, The longest delay that I have seen was about two months(!) although in most of cases it is a lot shorter. Just be prepared to reduce anxiety. BR, Roman

    What the heck is that? It is your right to buy whatever ticket you want and you have no obligations to stay in Canada for certain time frame after you land. Actually you can turn around right in the airport and fly back on the same day. A friend of mine recently landed in Toronto though she was...

    Re: FSW 2014 Applicants Timeline- Lets Network Here.

    Hi all, Today I collected my passport with affixed visa. I have the following question regarding IMM 5688 Confirmation of Permanent Residence (COPR) form: On my wife's COPR I am listed as an accompanying dependant. How come I am a dependant there being a Principal Applicant at the same time...

    Hi all, I've just collected our passports with visas and COPR's. Interesting observations: 1. Date of visa issue = date when the PPR was received and when I saw the 'DM' status in eCAS, i.e. it was issued on the same day when the decision was made and when the request for passports was sent 2...

    Thanks a lot for your support! No, they just asked to send our passports, the request itself (printed out), there're also a couple of gaps to fill in (like height/eye color). And two recent photographs (3x4cm). That's it.

    Hey guys, We got 3 "Decision made" eCAS updates and 1 "Passport request" mail today! What a great news, eh? ;D For your general understanding of possible timelines: these applicants had their meds done about two months ago.

    Hi, Yeah, I do see some difference between VO's by we have no influence on how they actually work. By the way, where have you seen this reason explicitly indicated? I mean the reason for file transfer "was to process applications faster".

    Oh come on! People used to wait for 5 to 7 years before. Now the process is likely to end up within a year and you're saying they're slow. Have a look at their officially published processing times! By the way, your CSE's may further delay your personal processing time, that's for sure. In the...

    Yes it is possible but you will have to invest your time in the process. In addition, take into account the fact that the majority of rentals become available on the 1st day of each month and therefore it is reasonable to come there in the middle of the month. You will have enough time to open a...
