    Parent visitor vis - Processing time exceeded

    Hello, We applied for my mother-in-law's visitor's visa on March 10. Processing time for our country (Algeria) is showing 23 days. It's been 3 months now and the application is still at the "Submitted" stage. Does anyone know if this is normal? What options do we have to ask for...

    Visitor stay extension - Questions

    Hi, My mother-in-law landed in August 2021 as a visitor. We submitted an extension request in February that hasn't been processed yet. I'm looking at our options as it will be almost impossible for her to travel back home. 1- If the application is denied, can we submit another one? 2- If the...

Does the H&C grant a stay in Canada while the application is being processed? We are concerned as she will have no...

    Parents sponsorship - Revenues question

    I got denied because there are bureaucrats looking at our files. They just look at a number and if it doesn't match you're denied. I made an argument because it doesn't make sense to assess someone on a full year when he only lived here for 8 months. I won my case, period. People are probably...

    Passport questions

    Hello, Our test is scheduled for March 17th and i got few questions. 1- My wife's previous passport was damaged, the Embassy kept it but we have no proof. She didn't travel, only used it to get here. Would that be an issue? Should we add a notarized sworn statement stating why she doesn't have...

    Fresh PR : will i be taxed if i bring money from home country later ?

    Ok that's very clear now, thanks to you all. In summary : 1- If you bring cash later after your PR confirmation you don't pay taxes 2- Your foreign accounts/savings are not taxed, only profits are concerned 3- During your 1st tax declaration, you have to show your international wealth. You...

    Fresh PR : will i be taxed if i bring money from home country later ?

    Thanks for the answers. Logic that the tax applies only on incomes (even if i don't understand the principle of a double taxation !). But in the case of money brought from your home country, how can you proof that this is not an income ? Also, second case. I may sell my house in my home...
