The CBC had a good article today that Canada Immigration has increased its quotas for 2019-2021, including family reunification. Almost 50,000 more persons being admitted in 2019. Good news for all of us, I think!

can you provide the link of the article please?
Thanks

Thats insane. It cost my husband around $88 in India.

Yup...i thought so too...unfortunately there was only 1 option of clinic in the country - so they can charge whatever they want!

can you provide the link of the article please?
Thanks

Here is the Canadian report on Immigration that indicates the future goals:

And then I couldn't find the CBC article any more, but I found one from CNN, ironically:

NO it is SA>>>MED>>>Eligibility(takes long)>>BGC>>PPR

Sorry, I don't mean to trouble you but would you be able to provide a link what these stand for/what they mean? I struggle with all of the acronyms!

 

[cantthinkofaname]

I’ll take a stab at it.

SA - sponsor approval
MED - medical
BGC - background check
PPR - passport request

Anyone that can do COPR feel free

COPR - Confirmation of Permanent Residence

Medical is 608 x3 for me as I have 2 teens.. but oh well it will be worth it all in the end. Moving countries is not supposed to be cheap right? Lol

HI All - dumb question to be sure - I thought the AOR meant that they had reviewed all the documents and accepted the application package. When I was reading the Canada.ca website, it says that AOR is simply that - acknowledgement of receipt. Does that mean that the application could still be rejected? I don't think we missed anything, but I am very anxious about it!

Extremely rare for an app to be returned after AOR.

I just got a letter requesting a bunch of additional documents. Some of which are included in my application.

PA birth certificate - was included
PA police clearance - was included
PA CENOMAR - our marriage certificate was included ???

PA requested to resubmit schedule A due to missing addresses - there are no missing addresses.

Proof that I, the Sponsor, intend to live in Canada...we are already living in Canada.

I need to talk to an actual human. I tried to call CIC Mississauga 7 times today. 4 minutes each call to navigate menus that resulted in getting hung up on (no available agents recording)

I know they must be overwhelmed, but there must be a better way than this.

I just got the sponsor approval email...

lol.

I guess I’ll be trying the number again tomorrow.

 

[cantthinkofaname]

I called ‭1 (888) 242-2100‬.

I’m in Canada.
