did you get an email for address confirmation?

I have the exact timeline (Oct 28). Nothing after address confirmation. I am told that it's usually followed by Portal 1, Portal 2 and then eCOPR. Usually folks received portal 1 after 15-20 days of address confirmation. I was told that IRCC most likely had met the quota for 2024 followed by...

Here is the acceptance rate for 2024. H&C 13,750. Acceptance rate against target 55.7% https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/committees/secu-august-28-2024/admissions-by-category-report.html

Just like an other country, there is a resource crunch in Canada. We all agree that Canada faces housing crisis, healthcare, job wage stagnation etc. The issue here is who is deciding the allocation of these resources. while H&C is constantly getting overwhelmed by the number of applicants vs...

sent you a PM

You have a very strong case in my opinion. I can't put a finger as per why your 1st one got rejected. If you feel comfortable, I can go over your submission and give you feedback.

It's Quality over quantity. For my parents, my Neighbours and Friends provided somewhere between 16-22 letters. Some were written very emotionally others rationally. Ask them to be honest, capture the interactions, and ask for desired outcome. (i.e. approval of case)

@Robin220 I sent you a PM

Received the AIP for my mother today. Cannot express in words how I am feeling. Timeline below Submitted: 24 Aug 2023 Biometric: 07 Sep 2023 AOR: 14 Sep 2023 AIP: 02 Aug 2024 Case: Medical inadmissibility for my father. Best Interest of Child (my 2 kids). Only sibling also Canadian citizen. No...

IMHO, you are being dramatic. Is your mother participating in protests? Doing roadshows against the government? Is she affiliated with the opposition party? Is she a journalist writing an expose on the government? According to various news outlets 150 people have been killed in protests in...

Oh you are such a dreamer @Kate_20 Canada is looking at people as Revenue or Expense. It's in Canada's interest to be able to tax people. So they want to legalize undocumented folks, since they'll mostly work and lay down roots. Parents are seen a big Expense on welfare system specially...

Hello everyone, I had applied for my parent's PR under H&C in Aug 2023. A reporter recently covered my case in Forbes. Any suggestions on how I can leverage this to strengthen my case / increase my chances? My lawyer suggested not to add it onto my file via webform. He suggested getting in...

Demand where? In front of whom? local MPs are supposedly our contact to government. But Immigration is a federal matter. IRCC can easily dismiss my case stating there is nothing stopping my mother to go back, and apply for another super visa. The reviewing officer can reject the 2nd super visa...

My mother's Visitor record has been approved till Nov 2025. So she will not be out of status post April 2024. I have engaged psychotherapist for grief counselling. I will submit a webform with a letter from them stating that my mother needs her family and cannot be alone back in India. I am also...

Yes, we have done all of it. Application was submitted in Aug 2023. Only point that we are working towards now is Bereavement.

Hi @Kate_20 @canuck78 I appreciate your responses. I am emotionally with you that my tax dollars should rather benefit my family than family reunification of refugees elsewhere. However, I really don't have a say in public policy barring election or standing in one with my own manifesto. Sure...

Thanks @canuck78 for your objective outlook. I agree that PR isn't guaranteed and Canada has Supervisa and PGP in place for family reunification. However, PGP hasn't opened since 2020. I still blame myself for not entering the pool when it was open in 2020 (I was eligible, but I made an error...

Thanks @scylla . she did volunteer at a temple during festivals. we have photos and letter of support for it. but i know its not much. its just a tick in the box over lets say 10 years of weekly outings. I will be surprised if IRCC doesnt approve her extension. why would they want her to ever be...

Want to get your opinion/feedback on the strength of our application. Do you think our case is strong? Background: My wife and I moved to Canada on PR via FSW in 2018. We became citizens in 2022. I have 2 kids both born in Canada. 4 year and 1.5 years old. My sister also moved to Canada on...

I originally submitted OCI for me, wife and kid on 16 Dec 2022. But BLS returned the application with comments on 22 Dec 2022. I made the changes are resent the application on 22 Dec 2022. BLS received it Dec 23. They updated to "under processing at Consulate" on Dec 27 or 28 - can't remember...
