I have a question not related to this section, it is not too clear to me and what should be right option to choose.

Before i submit my standard UK visitor visa application in Canada. I became a permanent resident in Jan. 2021

1) what is the correct response to one of the application question below.

How many times have you visited the following places in the past 10 years
Australia
Canada
New Zealand
USA
Switzerland
European Economic Area (do not include travel to the UK)

Options:
Zero
Once
2 to 5 times
6 or more times


I moved and have been living in Canada since November 2013 and have never left the country. So, I do not know if "Once or Zero" is the right option to choose for Canada.

I have been here for almost 10 years. I chose the "Zero" option, but if I had chosen "One". It is asking for; How long was your visit? I don't know if i should write the date from the entry date (Nov. 2013) and today's date. I think that’s makes since I made refugee claim upon arrival. That’s no mor a visit right?

My confusion is that; Coming to Canada is still within 10 years time frame.

Choose one and if there is additional space to add comment, write i have been resident in Canada since 2013

Hello guys, medical was requested from me on May 29th and had an update on my cic account passed medical on June 28. I was hoping to be at pre arrival services by now. No other update, not even eligibility passed. I’m a March 2021 applicant with an inland dependent who was requested biometrics since February 2022 and no update on my dependent application either.
is There any specific order of how things get processed? What should I expect after medical passed? Thanks

Guys I have not received any emails asking for my information, but i think it could be because my information could be handled by someone else? because I did the biometrics and medical checks already during interview.
I am afghan asylum seeker in Turkey.
Does anyone know why i havent received any emails but the process is still going? should I be worried?
and also does anyone know how long itll take from here to immigration?
Also, It says Decision made under permanent resident.
Thanks.

I sent them a webform, but im still not sure if it anything is wrong, still better safe than sorry.
also my case is an afghan refugee case, I have already done the interview and biometric checks, do they have any reason to send me anything else?
finger print was already taken during the biometric checks, and medical checks were done in the same day. I wonder how long is it going to take

I've applied for PR as overseas spouse of a protected person. However we can only track his application status online while mine and the children doesn't seem to exist. When will our own processing begin? I'm trying to understand how much longer I have to cope with.
Application sent in November 2021.
Received in December 2021
We have started processing your application for Spouse (Protected status) in 16 June 2022
Medical received.
Thanks for response.
