They will only accept an original form with sign. In my opinion , you should send them by mail (express post). It will be little delay but it will avoid future delay and queries 100%.

That depends on your province. If you're in Ontario, you have to wait for AIP to receive medical. In BC, you can technically get it but might have to fight for it. In Alberta, you qualify. I'm not sure of the rules for the other provinces.

Got an email today requesting me to pay Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) which I had already paid upfront. Then I got an email saying it was an error and that I should ignore it as they've determined that the fee has been paid already.

Are these the signs of my application being at the last stages? Any senior member who can let me know approximately how much time would it take now to get the DM?

Thanks!

Hello group,

I have a little enquiry.

I just got my PR and I was wondering how long I have to wait before I can sponsor my family under family class sponsorship.

Also, on average, how long does the application process take?

Thanks for any info I can get.

What do you mean by `family'?

Who are you looking to sponsor?

Were they declared on your PR application as being `non-accompanying'?

*whew* That's good! There have been more than a few people who did NOT do that, only to learn that they've made a tragic error.

You can sponsor them now! The processing times vary, but 17 months is what CIC has posted now. Many people, depending on their country of origin, find faster processing times (some as fast as ~4 months).

What country is your spouse from?

Good luck!

Now! meaning I don't have to work for 12 months in Canada before I can sponsor them? Wow! I have really been worried. 12 months before applying and then 17 months process time. My child would have forgotten me. lol.

But they can as well apply for visiting visa I think, or it might not be approved?

Nigeria. visa office is Accra Ghana.
