FINALLY OUR JOURNEY IS OVER, NOW PR, DECISION MADE
GOLDEN EMAIL-At last we became PR of Canada…. Even with two HIV+ family members…….
We learnt a lot of lessons from this platform (Canadavisa). There are lessons to learn from our case and I provide our timeline below.
Type: Provincial nomination (MPNP) paper-based application
Location: Inland (in Canada)
AR: May 2019
AOR: June 2019
PAL: Dec 2019
MR: Dec 2019. Medical was done and two of my family members were HIV positive.
Furtherance medical: Feb 2020, IRCC requested for further tests for the two persons. The tests were TB (IGRA Test) and Hep B and C. All the results came out negative for the two persons. Results were sent to IRCC
May 2020: We detected an unintentional mistake in our IMM5669 form for three members of the family. We mistakenly answered “No” to Question 6d (
Have you, or, if you are the principal applicant, and of your family members listed in your application for permanent residence in Canada, ever been refused refugee status, an immigrant or permanent resident visa or visitor or temporary resident visa, to Canada or any other country?). My wife and children had been denied Canada visa before.
May 2020: Immediately, we filled another IMM5669, wrote a polite letter of explanation (signed) and we sent everything to IRCC via webform and we sent hard copies by courier to Sydney. We boldly wrote our application number (EPXXXXXXXX) on all the new IMM5669 forms and letter of explanation.
August 12, 2021: We a wrote a passionate letter to IRCC to please finalize our application. We wrote to CPC-
CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
August 12, 2021: We PASSED Eligibility, Security, Criminality and Medical less than 24 hours after our letter
August 13, 2021: Decision Made and COPR
Lessons: HIV+ is not a barrier to becoming PR in Canada if the cost of treatment is below 3x the Canada threshold. If you are confused about anything, call IRCC or send online webform for guidance. Always keep hard copy of your applicantion and go over again and again to see if you made any costly mistake. If you find any mistake, write polite letter of explanation(signed) to IRCC and submit the correction via webform. Everything should be fine. Never wait for IRCC to see your costly mistake first. I benefitted a lot from this forum.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU…….
