Good day,

I'm planning a trip and I want to know what application I need to fill out. I have a valid permanent resident card, but my passport ( Venezuelan) is expired. I cannot renew my passport in the consulate because I'm a refugee. I was told that I need a permanent resident travel document, but when I wanted to pay the fee, it's said I had to be outside tè country. Is there another application?


Thank you!

Good morning,

We finally received a letter approving PR for my wife. They have requested we come to the CIC office in Calgary later this week and are to bring her PP, Request letter and OWP. Great news! We applied July 29, 2015, so the whole process has taken 18 months.I have a question regarding the process.Our application was Inland and my wife is originally from Mexico. We listed on the application her 2 children from her first marriage, who still live in Mexico. Both qualified as Dependents as they were both under 19 years of age, In late December 2016, my wife (already living with me in Canada) and her two children in Mexico received an official request from CIC to get their Medicals from Panel doctors. My wife completed hers in Canada and the children had theirs done in Mexico. All three results were sent electronically to CIC. In December CIC sent requests for my wife to get a Security check in Canada and her daughter to get the same through the PGR in Mexico. They didn't request one for her son because ( (we assume), he is under 18. Both Police checks were clean and couriered to CIC, both received.

We are using and agency for this application and upon getting the letter of approval for my wife to come to Calgary to receive her PR, we contacted our agent and asked "what about the kids"? The agent said that the PR was only for my wife and that we could apply later for the kids if we wanted.

My question is this. Why would CIC make the kids go through the medical and security clearance only to support the PR for my wife. As part of the medical, both kids were subjected to chest xrays (both clean) and the security check for her daughter who is 18. The cost of the medicals in Mexico were in US funds and expensive and it doesn't seem right to subject someone to the Xray process if it was only to help complete my wife's PR.

My agent is not very forthcoming with an explanation of why the kids were put through the time, trouble and expense of all this if they are not receiving a PR in the end.

Please help explain this to me,

Thanks in advance,

John

Hi there

I have just received my Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) outside Canada and I have a passport from a Visa –exemp country that expires on September 2017.

When boarding a flight to Canada, should I apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD)?.

I am not sure if the airlines will accept the COPR as a proof of permanent residency (because it hasn’t be validated by Canada yet).
Thank you

Aside from applying for a PRTD, is there anyway for a PR who has been out of contact country for several years (accompanying citizen spouse) to verify that PR status is still valid? Per the regs, time is met, but it'd be nice to be able to confirm.

• travelling with your spouse or partner who is a Canadian citizen,
• a childFootnote 1 travelling with his or her father or mother who is a Canadian citizen,
• an employee of (or under contract to) a Canadian business.

PMM,

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. The children were in fact marked as non accompanying. Can we sponsor the children now? If I understand correctly, because they went through the Medical, Police clearance etc., we are able to sponsor them. Does my wife, who will receive her PR this a.m. act as the Sponsor, do I, or do we both? Do you have a link to the application we might use to sponsor the children? We would like to handle the application ourselves, our experience with our current agent was less than ideal.

Thanks for all the help,

John

I am a canadian citizen by naturalisation and my spouse is not canadian. Recently, a son was born in the family.I am presently living out of Canada. can my son apply for citizenship at the age of 15 and get it.will it be better if he applies now or at the age of 15.

Hi,

I'm a US citizen, and my status here in Canada is a visitor.I applied in Canada for permanent residency through spousal sponsorship. My application processed on Feb 28, 2017. They even send me the application/UCI number.

Along with my PR application I also applied for an open work permit and paid the fees as well. My question is how long it approximately takes for them to send my work permit after sending my application number?

It is really difficult to get answers from them, because it is impossible to talk to an agent.

I would really appreciate any help and comments you might have.... Thank you!!

Thank you for your reply!
Is that the new policy though? Because I heard that for people applying in 2017, the processing time is cut in half.

Pl.let me know same day leaving Toronto and arriving in Boston,/USA is counted as day of stay in Toronto for counting no.of stays present in Canada for renewal of PR card.

I live in the US, I need to land as a PR by the date specified.

I have not finished everything I need to do in the US.

But will be driving to Canada to land.

Will I have to change my car registration on landing.

Or can I do that on my return?

I would like to know more about how to apply for permanent residence. My mother is a Canadian citizen and lives here in america with me (I am her son; 38 years old). We would both like to move to Canada and while she won't be working, I would like to work and be able to take care of her. What would I need to do to be able to live in Canada with her?

Hello! I'd like to know if my parents used to have permanent residence status (with only the landing paper); however they did not stay in Canada and have lived outside for more than 10 years. And they'd like to come visit in Canada right now, can they apply for ETA or they won't be able to do so unless they renounce their PR status?

Is there a chance where they can keep their PR status under H&C circumstances and apply for PR Travel document? If so, what's the success ratio considering the fact that I can financially support them in Canada as I am a Canadian citizen with stable job? My parents are in their 60s and I want to take care of them and give them a stable life in Canada.

If their PR Travel Document request has been denied, can I sponsor them again under "Family Class"?
Please advise!

Thanks,
Judy

Where do I submit the form and the fee to renew my pr card?

Hello,

I am sponsoring my spouse out of Canada. Currently am on EI, have been working since 2012. Started my EI from Nov 2016. Is EI a social assitance which would render me ineligible from sponsoring my spouse?

Thanks!

Hi!
I'm here in Canada as a Caregiver and I'm about to apply for PR under the new caregiver pathway,caring for children class.
I have one dependent which is my spouse. My spouse has a child from his previous marriage,the child will be 19 by the time I submit my application.
I understand that my spouse needs to declare his child in the forms that he needs to complete but I'm confused if his child needs to complete the forms for dependents and do the upfront medical as well.
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
