Hi everyone
I've been reading this thread since it started and decided to join! thank you for all the information and experiences posted.
At the end of August it will make one year since my son in law, daughter and grandson have been in India waiting for the PR and ARC application to process. Sponsorship was approved last October. Our online status is "medical received" for months and we also experienced the address changing from a Canadian one to their address in India. Medical is expired now.
We have just learned through our MP inquiries that my son in law requires an interview. We have received no notice of this whatsoever. Does any know or have any idea or can share some experience as to how many months it takes them to send a letter? crazy question I know! it's like asking for the winning lotto numbers!! also, if anyone can share their experiences as to whether they are also waiting for an ARC (Authorization to Return to Canada) to be approved with their application
I was encouraged to order the notes, which I just did and I am waiting for them. Someone posted a few days ago that ordering the notes isn't a good idea and draws attention to your file in a negative way. I don't believe that at all! you're entitled to the information by law so why would you be punished for asking for them?
My daughter and grandson are Canadian. My daughter made an extremely difficult decision to leave Canada to keep her family together. I am so proud of her and my son in law for being such wonderful parents and dealing with all the obstacles they have had to while living in India. I haven't seen them since they left last year late August and I miss them terribly. I MISS MY GRANDSON
he was only 5 months old when he left.
This entire system is horrible!! it's torture to be away from the one's we love and it is so unreasonable to have to wait so long without any communication from the decision makers!!
We are all paying the price for all the people who have abused the system and ruined it for everyone else.
Please keep this thread going! good luck to us all and may God help us and give us strength and patience to get through it
