Hi
Got email from New Delhi as below. Do you think that the timelines in the email are what they will be working to?
Your Application for permanent residence in Canada in the Family class was received at CPC-M
on 06/05/2007 and has now been transferred to our office. Note: The application received is in
mm/dd/yyyy format. Please quote this file number in all future correspondence with our office.
Canada has a carefully managed and controlled immigration program that is committed to
maintaining a balance of 60% economic immigrants and 40% non-economic immigrants (family
class, refugees, and those in need of protection). Amongst non-economic immigrants, priority is
given to spouses/partners and dependent children.
We are currently processing other relative family class applications according to these time
frames, from the date the application is received in New Delhi:
Parents/Grandparents | All Other Relatives
Confirmation of receipt of 3 months | 12 months
First Review 9 months | 36 months
Interview 43 months | 44 months
As we proceed to review these cases, we will contact the applicants. In the meantime, we
recommend that clients check the website (india.gc.ca) for any changes. No purpose will
be served by writing to us to enquire on case status until the current situation changes.
While we understand the wishes of sponsors and parents to be reunited, and that longer
processing times can be frustrating for those seeking to bring family members to Canada, we
hope this information will help explain the delays that some are experiencing when sponsoring
parents, grandparents, and children to be adopted.
You should contact us only to provide IMPORTANT NEW INFORMATION such as a change in
your mailing address, a change in your family status or other information relevant to your
application. Although we will not acknowledge receipt of the new information, it will be noted on
your file.
Sincerely,
Immigration Section
