Hello my friends
I just wanted to share my timeline and see how it goes for other fellows
#Main applicant:
-Submitted October 2023
-Received biometric instructions and additional documents in Feb 2024
-Received eligibility and pre arrival letter in December 2024
#Overseas depend:
-Received biometric and additional documents in Feb 2025
-Pre arrival letter in March 2025

Could you please share your recent news and timeline and could please let me know how much more do we have to wait? It started getting frustrating

Also the overseas dependent has Visitor visa, is there any way she could apply for work permit in Canada?
wondering the same thing as my dependant got approval for a vistor visa

June 2024, and it was very fast it was approved within 2 weeks
Oh mine! This is goodnews!

I received PR card this January and immediately applied Visiting visa for my dependant who is overseas. Application currently in background processing. Trusting to receive favorable results like you guys.

For the working visa, I will advice you keep applying, and explaining on the SOP why your dependant needs to work while waiting for PR to be processed. Success!

Please, can you give a hint on what you think you did differently for the Visiting visa to sail through? I will appreciate it.
