    From the website examples of acceptable proof of address (texts highlighted in red should be easy to obtain) are: a letter or document from a government (federal, provincial, territorial or foreign) a letter or document from a financial institution (bank statement, credit card statement...

    Now you have the option to apply for new SIN online: https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/sin/apply.html You'll need to prepare a few electronic files for upload (e.g. COPR & passport scans). Once approved you'll received the SINs via regular mail several weeks later.

    In my case the status changed back to "we are processing your background check" 4 days after.

    Thank you! Based on my experience you'll receive a system-generated email notifying your profile is updated. From then you'll see your application reflected as "approved". The physical COPR may arrive at any time in the next couple weeks through a regular airmail. One final step away from your...

    Happy to share that the COPRs arrived at my parents' mailbox today (via a regular airmail). Seems like HKVO skipped the passport request process. We noted that the documents were issued on September 15, just about a week before GCKey changing into "approved" status.

    Elevated Creatinine

    The higher the eGFR the better the renal function is. The guideline specifies all IMEs for clients with renal function impairment (eGFR < 30 mL) must be graded B. An eGFR of saying 57 would therefore be better than <30 but it's up to officer's discretion on the grading as well as the need for...

    Elevated Creatinine

    Happy to assist. Yes panel physicians check for everything (blood test, blood pressure, urinalysis etc). Sometimes people exhibit elevated blood pressure for various reasons (e.g. white coat syndrome, drinking excess amount of liquid) which prompt multiple BP measurements on the spot and even to...

    Elevated Creatinine

    Speaking as an HCP your creatinine level is barely over the standard bandwidth and should be fine. In addition your eGFR (derived partly from your serum creatinine level) will be used to assess your renal function. @Pius23 while further assessment may be needed for your case, your given eGFR...

    They could, but during the landing process they have to persuade the officers that: they are coming to Canada to settle permanently; and show they are able to quarantine for 14 days On a safer bet I'd suggest getting them one-way tickets to prove the points above. Once they land and become PRs...

    Yes they will be allowed to, but make sure to keep abreast of the latest guideline on travel restrictions: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/immigration-applicants.html#approved "You are exempt from the current travel restrictions and can...

    It should remain as "Decision Made" until the completion of physical/virtual landing. After that it'll change to "Complete" (speaking from personal experience many years ago).

    Similarly people could also argue for other relatives (e.g. aunts, uncles) not being specified in exclusion criteria. Given how broad the list could go IRCC could at best specify who are considered immediate family members. I'd suggest you speak with more IRCC/CBSA agents to consolidate the...

    In my opinion the highlighted quote does not supersede travel restriction which is very clearly outlined on the website. You got a concise response from an immigration officer too.

    That's correct - in the reference link it mentions that temporary residents and permanent residents already in Canada are not eligible to receive pre-arrival services. Only outland VOs send out pre-arrival services letters.

    Thank you! Fingers crossed to all of us awaiting for safe and timely reunification with our loved ones. To your question regarding pre-arrival services letter, it's automatically sent out once the eligibility is passed. I could further confirm from my GCKey status that the date of eligibility...
