Any update on your application?
 
Hi everyone
I applied my parents PR under H and C. I’m the only child and they are quite old in their 80’s. So they need support and care. On the other hand my in law parents are not anymore so my Little kids 1 year old and 9 year old needs someone to look after them. My husband is diagnosed with bipolar. So it’s urgency on both sides. Can someone tell me how long does it take to process? Thanks

I assume both of your parents are currently in Canada.

Expect processing to take around 2 years.

Did you try the PGP program? Do they have other family members in their home country to take care of them? Unfortunately your children's inability to see their grandparents on a regular basis is not an H&C reason. Best of luck H&C cases are very difficult and if you are already the caregiver to your husband I am not sure whether that will have an effect on your case.
