The thought has crossed my mind but my research led me to believe that adoption of adults is not possible under Russian laws... Thank you for the idea Kaibigan.

Thank you scylla, this is a very good idea. I'll ask him for a copy of the deed for his apartment and enclose it with the application.

Thank you Erkan. I'll contact our local translator office, they've done work for me several times before for my own immigration. I've drafted a letter of invitation and from my own point of view it seems quite convincing, but I'll let it sit for a bit, to make sure I've included everything possible.

I have finished filling out the online TRV application for my stepdad. There are documents that, I assume, will have to be translated from Russian - his passports, the letter from his bank, etc. I currently have scans of these documents he sent me. Before I go to the translators, do I need to...

Will do.

Thank you. His current situation does not inspire much hope in me, even for the TRV. :( He's just a lonely elderly person, and certainly not a political activist. No ties to speak of, other than his apartment/savings and he's never traveled internationally. We will try for the Canadian TRV...

Understood. I myself immigrated to Canada from the US but he has never lived or had a status there. I think he might at some point qualify for a refugee status if the situation in Russia, where he lives, deteriorates due to the war or post-war crisis. His country of origin will, of course...

Thank you for your replies, scylla and canuck78. We will work on getting him a TRV and I have never even considered the H&C track. So far he's in good health and can take care of himself at 76 years of age. But I worry about him. Unfortunately he lives in a country that requires a visa for...

Thank you for your sympathy.

My mother passed away the day after Christmas in 2022. Now my stepdad is on his own, no friends, no relatives. Ideally I would love to sponsor him so he could get his PR and come to live with us in Canada, but even getting a Supervisa would be great. However, it turned out that I was never...

Thank you kormad. I've already asking them questions about my consultant. If I eventually decide to file a complaint, I want to be sure that I have the right guy. So far his name is in the list of members in good standing... CWB

I've gone through ups and downs in my correspondence with imm rep. Emailed Buffalo - they don't have my application. The rep is out of the country till next month and his explanations do not sound very convincing. I gave him until April 15 to provide me with Fedex receipt and MO receipt, he also...

Thank you Egyman. I worry more and more. My application was submitted by my immigration consultant, in September, according to him. I never got anything from him to prove it. His initial prognosis was 2-4 months from submittal to get the file number. It's been over 5 months now. I start losing...

My federal skilled worker app has been sent to Buffalo back in Sept'06. Still no word from the authorities. Nothing... Has anyone filed at/around the same time? Did you get your receipt/file number? Thanks! Canadienne(WannaBe)
