I want to sponsor for my father's visitor visa. But the name of him in my passport and birth certificate is "Sadman Alam" but in his passport it is "MD. Sadman Alam"

In this scenario, what shall I do ? Is affidavit enough or will it be a major hurdle for him to get the visitor visa now ? Pls help

If you have another document with the correct name, eg. birth certificate, then that document along with an affidavit would suffice, and you can explain it in LoE.

You can send a web form, but it is not mandatory and at this juncture, it will not matter.
 
Hi @legalfalcon , I got ADR and re-medical request a few weeks ago, my profile was showing Application status as "Your action is required." I submitted the additional documents 6 days ago and have received acknowledgement e-mail as well, but the application status is still showing the same as before. Is it because my medical has not been uploaded/processed yet?
 
A COMPELLING COMPLAINT BUSTS IRCC'S DUBIOUS USE OF EXEMPTION IN GCMS NOTES

Read about the complaint in this message from the Office of the Information Commissioner which was released today (March 9th, 2022)

Read how this powerful complaint was developed that upended IRCC's dubious use of exemption to withhold information in GCMS notes

https://gcmsnotes.com/mystery-of-the-history-withheld-under-16-2-c/

If your GCMS notes was within scope of this complaint you can receive an updated GCMS notes at no charge and it will reveal the information that was previously withheld. See the Annex at https://www.oic-ci.gc.ca/en/decisio...efugees-and-citizenship-canada-re-2022-oic-01 to locate your GCMS notes

Sir, I badly need your suggestion. I submitted my PR application last year in TR to PR pathway. My application is not processed yet. last week, I noticed that on the back of my PCC (which is an empty page) was attested by the ministry of foreign affairs of my country. They attested my pcc on June 17-2021, but mistakenly stamped the date on May-17-2021. Once I noticed this I called the IRCC call centre and the agent was very rude. She kept telling me that "as of today IRCC has received an official document which is wrongfully dated". She was warning me. She wrote notes on my file. This is clearly a clerical error by the ministry and all the information on the front page is accurate. It's just the attestation date is wrong. This certificate can be verified online easily with the reference number printed on the certificate. What should I do now? Wait for the IRCC to communicate with me? Should I submit a new PCC through webform? Does it consider a misrepresentation? I am eagerly waiting for your suggestions. I and my family lost our peace and sleep after talking to the agent and praying that the IRCC does not take harsh decisions against us. Thanks so much!


Ideally, you should inform IRCC via webform. At the same time, you can either get the PCC corrected or get a new one and submit it visa web form along with the explanation.

In the larger scheme of things, this will not matter as long as you explain it and point the error.

It has not been updated, so give it some time and you will see it change.

Hi,

I'm traveling mid May. Fsw aor Oct 2018. Copr 2021 Dec.

I'm taking required POF.

*My question is as follows*

If I want to bring more funds from my home country into Canada after one or two months, what should I declare on the form when I make my landing in Canada? that how much money am I bringing in - will it be only the POF or also the additional money that I am expecting after one or two months

I have been told that I will need to pay taxes in Canada for any additional amounts that I bring into the country that I have not declared on that form upon landing.

(the funds I'm referring to will be inheritance money from my deceased mother - profit from the financial institutions will be credited into her account net of tax - then transferred to me - so I won't have any details if tax has been paid on it).

Regards,


You can bring as much money into Canada as you want. Only if you are getting cash over 10K, you have to declare and show the source. If you transfer them electronically, there is no need to declare either.
 
@legalfalcon
Thank you for your response. I am unable to connect with IRCC over the phone, I have ordered my GCMS notes, but I won't get it anytime soon.
This is the webform response I received:
We verified the information on file and can confirm that:

  • The background verifications are currently valid.
  • The security background verification is currently valid.
  • The criminal background verification is currently valid.
Nothing about my eligibility status is mentioned here. So I just wanted to know your opinion. If security has passed and medical extension is updated on the portal, then does that mean eligibility has passed?
Thanks

It is difficult to predict anything just by the webform response. Just wait for the GCMS notes for a clear picture.
 
@legalfalcon Please would really appreciate if you can give any information about expired criminality verification and how to go about it right now am really confused.This application has been on for 3years and 6 months


If IRCC needs a new PCC, IRCC will inform you. there is no need for you to get a new PCC.
 
@legalfalcon please advise. I sent money to my sister in canada last year to help purchase CAD then when the exchange rate was fair. She will help sort out accomodation before I arrive and some few stuffs. If I travel and am asked proof of fund, how can I defend that? Since most of my funds is already in CAD in my sisters account.

You can show the bank account that is in Canada in your name, the bank account or PoF you provided with your application, + cash you are carrying and a combination of all.
