Sponsoring Parents in 2015

[Lola2301]

While Canada Post is behind in the quality of service but they are not behind due to the circumstances of the situation whereby you basically got everyone sending huge parcels from all over Canada coming to one specific location all on the same day. It is like everyone sending a gift to Santa Clause on Christmas day instead.

CIC and Canada post should improve the way they work together and communicate as both are federal organizations. Mississauga post facility should predict a rush in this period and put more people at work.

And give unfair advantageous to Canada Post courier over DHL, Purolator and UPS?

Any educated guesses as to when PGP 2014 and 2015 applications will begin processing?

Private companies remain competitive as they always reach their standard, unfortunately it's not the case of Canada post, they should be aware of the situation as they faced it last year. They seem having trouble this year.

No one seems to know exactly when as CIC will not touch PGP 2014 and 2015 until PGP applications before the pause has been processed first. Question is how much of those applications are left to process after the 2 year pause plus year 2014.

So it is Canada Post alone that has to improve their standards, not the collaboration between CIC and Canada Post together.

I have a question about sponsoring parents. A friend recently lost his partner and is now left to raise 20month old child on his own. They are both Canadian citizens but originated from different countries. They were common law. My question is can he sponsor the parent or sibling on his deceased partner's behalf. Anyone ever came across this situation.

So what should I do? Send the third time or not?

No, there is zero point in sending another app. When CIC realizes that you've already submitted an app, they will return the duplicate. They won't switch it for the one you've already sent or take your originals and add them to the first app; they will simply mail it back to you. And it's possible that by the time they realize that it's a duplicate, they will have already counted it in the 5000 cap, which means that you would have taken an extra spot that someone else could have legitimately had.

No, he cannot sponsor a member of his deceased partner's family.

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately only he/she can only sponsor his/her parents. Not the common law's parents as they are not his/her direct blood relatives.

Thanks for responding. As you said you can only sponsor direct blood relatives, just out of curiosity do you know if this is referenced on the CIC website somewhere. Or am I missing something in their wording.

You can co-sponsor commow law's elatives, but not sponsor. sponorship applies only for sponsors parensts and grandparents.

None of the CIC wording mentions sponsoring mother-in-laws, father-in-laws, sister-in-laws, or brother-in-laws. Sponsorship is quite clearly limited to parents, siblings, etc. (i.e. direct blood relatives).

Not sure how having more than one person receiving would be helpful. they wouldn't be able to keep track of te applications in sequence. if the dhl guy who brought in the applications first has 20 applications and a fedex guy brings in 2 applications, those 20 should go in first. I think it would complicate it. I know we don't like waiting, but it seems like it's the only way to keep it fair.

LOL. Seriously, there has to be a better way in this tech world. Sending applications by post/courier... what a crap. They should make it on-line queue system. When google's servers can handle whole world's requests why not CIC set up high tech systems to deal with these applications on-line or even any other process of immigration for sake. It all comes to money again. Who spends so much money to advance their systems ?

Government union's don't like new technology that can make their job position obsolete.
