It doesn't say family. Or spouse so it may mean our apps get priority soon

They will get around to them.

They will get around to them.

So this means spousal sponsorship will also stop?

No, they don't say that. I don't believe they'll ever stop that.

Greetings to you all.

I am May applicant and like everyone waiting for the AOR I know March applicant are still waiting for the AOR given the delays because of Covid 19. My question is did anyone of you managed to link the application online or get Ecas update without the AOR

 

[Gabrielmorrow]

No, they don't say that. I don't believe they'll ever stop that.

I think it means our apps will have priority acutauly so the opposite will happen this year as they start to get policy in place to help do things remotely and securely etc

 

[Gabrielmorrow]

You are just guessing. We dont know anything for sure, but I sure hope you are right.

We know which apps will be advaresly effected based on article for sure no word on spousal though 50/50 chance on what they do there

 

[Gabrielmorrow]

We are Already adversley affected.
I say if in June no new AOR's, with economy opening across the world, chances are looking really bad for us.
We could be looking at indefinite Sydney intake shutdown until ZERO coronavirus new cases in Canada.
I hope Im wrong but this is one 50% possibility.

I think if that happens we have lawsuits

What apps go through Nova Scotia? Is it just family ones? Or?

Can we contact and ask for mp support even if he isn’t my mp? When I have emailed in the past the mp usually asks for my address.

Yes, especially if they sit on any committees, or if you want to bring attention to your cause any/all MPs can be contacted. You can also contact the leaders of all political parties to bring their attention to your cause.

MPs ask for your address to determine if you are a resident of their constituency... they will work harder for those they know are in the position to vote for them or are in positions of influence in the constituency. MP caucus meet to discuss issues being raised by their constituents, so if many MPs are hearing the same thing, it is more likely to be addressed.

You can write to one and copy the other, or address the letter to both of them.

 

[international student_13]

Yes, lets write to the MPs.
we have to do something to bring our spouses here.
