G5 Group of five timeline

[Xbero]

Thank you for your kind assist
I choosed the application number option then I filled the correct information (family name, G000xxxxxx, dob, place of birth), but it gives me no result and a message :
At this time, you may use this on-line service if you have:

• sponsored a member of the family class;
• applied for permanent residence from within or outside Canada;
• applied for a permanent resident card (replacement or renewal);
• applied for Canadian citizenship (grant of citizenship);
• applied for Canadian citizenship for a person adopted by a Canadian citizen (on or after January 1, 1947);
• applied for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship);
• applied to renounce Canadian citizenship; or
• applied to resume Canadian citizenship

Seems G5 is not one of the above at mean time.. am I wrong!
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have family currently living in Turkey. They had to leave Afghanistan in December 2017 due to safety issues. I am wondering if we can apply through G5 program for them. They have already received documentation that they are asylum seekers and can currently live in Turkey until further investigated. They have waited over a year now and still the UNHCR has not called them for interview. The confusion comes because they know 2 other families that got sponsored through G5 and recently landed in Toronto and they did not wait through the UNHCR process. Is the documentation that was given to them by Turkey sufficient for us to now apply through G5 program for them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
FJ.

Hi Jordan,

Your file seems a little bit longer than average other Group of 5 applications. Is your application under Group of 5 of SHA?

What date did you receive the email for the interview? was it email or phone call?

Based on your interview date, I think your file should be concluded and visa issued by February 2020.

Hi Xbero, we received a call as well as email, normally people receives call a month before the interview as that was for our case.

A family who had their interviews done in May 2018, had all their background check and medical completed within 4 months and in September 2018 they received their visa. Based on that timeline, I assume your case will be concluded by Feb 2019.

Did the sponsor in Canada or the sponsored refugee in Turkey receive the call for the interview, also the email?
In our case, the sponsored refugee's phone number has changed and I thought everything will be communicated via email. If in your case the sponsored refugee received the phone call for the interview, then we should update the phone number.

Even i know a family, have given their interview on November 2018 and they are going on 12 feb 2019. Actually no one knows how they process files, some cases takes time while other don't.
The sponsors and refugee both receive emails,
and the refugee receives call from the embassy informing the exact information that has been provided by email to the sponsors and refugee as was for our case..
hey xbero was it feb 2019 or 2020 because you mentioned two different dates..
Do they issue visa or arrange travel Documents for refugees i am suspicious about this?

Hi ,
Sorry I meant to say February 2019 if you did your medical examination within two weeks after the interview. That's exactly what the other family did.
By the way, check the status of your application online and it should say what things have been completed so far.

I'm trying to estimate how long we have to wait for the interview email.

What date did you receive the email informing you about the interview appointment?

Hello Dear

From Turkey with kimlik they got, only SAH sponsorship can done, but for g5 they need to have UNCHR refugee status so it is better to fine a SAH sponsorship to sponsor them.

Hi everyone,
I would like enquire for my case as we are two related families and our application was received on March, 2018. Our lawyer informed us on February, 2019 that it has started processing and gave us our G-number. The problem is that one of the numbers doesn't show me the status while the others shows! I checked all the details (family name, dob, Gnumber.. etc.) Still no results since February.

Hopefully I can find the answer for the reason

Thank you
Regards
