guys does anyone here got this issue. my cousin completed 2yrs lcp. but her husband doesnt want to live in canada. (he's a police officer back home) my cousin just want to work here too. can she possibly apply for pr just for herself? they have kids.

If her husband doesn't want to come here, your cousin can file for herself and her kids without including her husband's name on her application..

She can still do that just put N/A to those questionaire in the form. All she has to do is to apply only for herself...no need to put any names, but if they both change their mind in a future she can still sponsor them anyway..
 
CIC actually think we are fools right ? they are done processing March since February cos those who applied March 31 already received OWP,so who are they fooling. They should process April if they want to and stop playing with our brains. I wont be surprised next week if they updated to " processing March 31 ".

i dont think you can change your mind in the future...its final if you dont put them in you paper. you cannot sponsor them in the future. they have to apply by themselves. many PR cardholder, dont stay or live in canada they just landed in canada and go back to their country. and they can renew the card every 5 years.

you're right! put the husband as non accompanying then put the kids as accompanying...let them come here and if they dont like it...they can always go back home....

she can still sponsor the kids if the kids is still below 22 yrs.old and never married and no work...but then it will take a lot of years for them before they'll get their status... so If her plans is only for herself then thats it..if their desicion is totally firm and confirmed.:)

Hi Caregivers,
I just found this forum and I have been reading it. I think it's an excellent idea that you have, to unite all of us and claim our rights together. It's great that you're trying to contact the media as well.
For those living in BC, I was going to suggest... is there any possibility that we could have a peaceful gathering in downtown Vancouver? We could invite reporters, let them know the place and time we are going to meet, and have a public gathering. Then, we could talk about our frustrations in waiting for such a long time, the false promises we received, and invite the immigration people to communicate to us and explain what is happening.
I wish all the provinces could do that, maybe one weekend after the other. If we can create a peaceful movement, working together, maybe we could get the authorities' attention. Of course, we all need to behave, respect and claim our cases as professionals. We should never act irrationally, nor being disrespectful. Please let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.
May God bless you all,

Lily
Hey Lily;
Lets submit a signature campaigns to let them do it faster the processing of our OWP/PR, We found this issue so unfair there are lot of other migrant citizen from other country who got their status faster than we anticipate, its because we are Live-in Caregiver/Nanny, they do this to all of us, its un-fair, we do what the gov't. program required and here they are, took advantage for all of us, by holding our documents that we earned it by foolowing the rules.
 
I really agree with this one! Ive been crying past days.. me & my fiance already decided to postpone our wedding this december because of the delay of the processing.. Its so frustrating. I will miss the chance to be with my family as a whole ( me & my sis are working outside phils, so this is the only time that she & her can go home)

:(
 
Please be careful what advice you give.

5.10. Non-accompanying family members
Applicants must declare all family members when applying for a visa and must again declare all
family members, whether accompanying or not, prior to obtaining permanent resident
status. Permanent residents who did not declare all their family members on their application are
reportable under A44(1) [see also “Sponsor who may be subject to an A44(1) report” (section 10.5
below) and “Misrepresentation” (section 5.22 below)]. In addition, all family members, whether
accompanying or not, must be examined, unless the appropriate officer determines that they are
not required by the Act or the former Act to examine the family member [R117(10)]. Family
members who were not declared and examined are excluded from the family class and may not
be sponsored at a later date as per R117(9)(d) unless R117(10) applies.
Non-accompanying family members must undergo medical examinations. They must also
establish that they are not inadmissible for criminal or security reasons. If the requirement for
minimum necessary income is applicable, sponsors must demonstrate that they can support all
family members, including non-accompanying family members.
Non-accompanying family members need not be in possession of a passport or travel document.

5.11. Inadmissibility and non-accompanying family members
All family members, whether accompanying the principal applicant or not, are required to be
examined unless an officer decides otherwise. Normally, an inadmissible family member, whether
accompanying or not, would render the principal applicant inadmissible. There are, however, two
exceptions to this rule described in R23. The first is the separated spouse of the applicant and the
second is where a child of the applicant who is in the legal custody of someone other than the
applicant or an accompanying family member of the applicant, or where someone other than the
applicant or accompanying family member of the applicant is empowered to act on behalf of that
child by virtue of a court order or written agreement or by operation of law.
If an applicant’s separated spouse or their children who are in the custody of someone else are
inadmissible, their inadmissibility would not render the applicant inadmissible. Because separated
spouses can reconcile and custody arrangements for children may change, examination is
required in order to safeguard the future right to sponsor them in the family class. If these family
members are not examined, they cannot be sponsored in the family class in the future under
R117(9)(d) unless R117(10) applies.
Satisfactory documentary proof of a separation and of custody being with someone other than the
applicant is required. A separation agreement or custody papers are examples of acceptable
proof.
Officers will not issue a permanent resident visa to separated spouses, common-law partners or
children in the custody of someone else, even if they are examined. This is because separated
spouses and partners are not members of the family class as per R117(9)(c) and because
children in the custody of someone else are non-accompanying family members.

If these family members are genuinely unavailable or unwilling to be examined, the consequences
of not having them examined should be clearly explained to the applicant and reflected in the
CAIPS notes. Officers may wish to have applicants sign a statutory declaration indicating they
understand the consequences of failing to have the family member examined.
