Hello all, As expected, CIC has told me I am ineligible to sponsor. However, they forwarded my parents' application to a Visa Office to continue... Which I do not understand the logic of this. They made it clear that my ineligibility greatly impacted my parents' visa application (isn't there...

I was on a sabbatical leave. I was moving around and went back to my home country to take care of my parents as they were not doing so well health wise. I still consider Canada as my home (Canadian citizen). I kept a credit card. I had a temporary address set up to receive mails. Now I feel...

I do not understand the reasonableness of this scheme. You put your name in the lottery, and 4 years later, got invited, but you MUST LIVE IN CANADA the moment you apply and until a decision is made. If you happen to live aboard, are you supposed to drop everything and come back to make the...

Hi @canuck78 thank you for replying. What do you mean that I have not qualified to apply in 2019 or 2020?

Hello, Anyone has experience with this kind of question before? It's unclear if CIC is asking for 2 years or 5 years...

Hi All, I am looking for advice regarding my Family Sponsorship Application for my parents. I sent my application on December 19, 2023. September 12, 2024: I received an email from CIC Mississauga as a "FINAL NOTICE", asking me for a bunch of documents, which I must provide in the next 30 days...

Let’s say I am. Would a lawyer increase the chance of registering my name to the application system as the 2019 scheme?

Seems like we have many great ideas to improve this program. I am still looking to hear experiences of someone who has worked with immigration lawyer in the past on this. Any advice would be appreciated.

Dear all, I've been a PR for 3.5 years, but I only moved physically to Montreal in January 2019. At that time, I did not need funds, so I left my money to stay in my home country, Vietnam. Now, I am searching to buy a condo, and I need the funds for down payments. I am visiting Vietnam by...

I certainly hope so.

That’s really my concern... the thing is I do not know what else to do. In Feb I took the day off from work, and was literally pressing F5 every second...

Dear all, I missed the opportunity to sponsor my parents back in Feb/Mar when the scheme was open for 11 minutes (if you ask, for me, it was totally a scam... because I was refreshing the page every single second and NEVER EVER did I see any application form. So many people were experiencing...

Dear all I've been browsing many threads regarding this topic and I've made this summary: - If you do not meet the PRO when you land in Canada, you might be reported by the officers at the borders. - If you DO get reported then you can still enter, but you will eventually get into a PR...

I landed in Kitchener on 24/12/2015. Until now, I still haven't received the PR card. I logged into my account on CIC and the last update reads "You landed on 24/12/2015 and became a permanent residence", with the address I gave to police officer. My friend, who also came with me to land...

Update: I contacted the Police station where the incident took place and followed their procedure to obtain a Police Arrest info sheet. (in the UK, it's called the "Subject access right" that you need to ask for) After several weeks, I received the form, then sent it to Paris Visa office...

Hello everyone, I have finally received a letter requesting passport. I need to land before 30/01/2016. So I plan to land there just to do all the formalities, stay for a week (considered it a vacation) then come back to France as I am still working here. Do you know if this is feasible...

Hi brk09 Thanks for your encouraging messages!

Hi there, I thought the time we start counting is when they started processing my application, which is Feb 19...

Hello everyone After reading your posts I got a little panic. Here is my timeline: We received your application for permanent residence on August 11, 2014. We started processing your application on February 19, 2015. Medical results have been received. Medical checks, PR payment were asked...

Hello all, I have a question on behalf of a friend who's applying for FSW in 2014. Application is with Philippines office At the moment, medical checks have been requested and sent. Permanent residence fee has been charged. Everything goes on fine. However, the expected processing time...
