Wow congratulations. Was just in the process of sending my MP an email before seeing this. Also applied for a visit visa for my spouse but it's passed the normal processing time and haven't heard anything. Anyways, congrats again.

Hello All, silent observer here.

Spousal sponsorship application:
I initially applied in March 2023 but wifey's application was returned as incomplete. So, I re-submitted May 2023.

Timeline:
May 16- Application received
August 17 - Request for Biometrics
Nov 17 - Request for immigration medical exam
Nov. 17 - eligibility completed
Nov. 18 - Pre-arrival services letter
Nov 30 - Medicals completed
Feb 07, 2024 - BG verification completed
Feb 07 - Copr details generated
Feb 12 - PPR mail

Worthy of mentioning is that we applied for wifey's visitor's visa mid-way. We applied in July 2023 and visa approved in Aug, 2023.
Also, wifey was able to get a job in principle (guys, there's no hack here. just aggressive sending of job applications), while she waited for her ppr. Within the 2months we waited for the PPR mail, we decided to apply for an open spousal work permit. We flagpoled ( bad move. can't flagpole as a PR) and later applied online for an open spousal work permit for wifey. What's interesting is that, the minute the online application for an open work permit was sent, IRCC decided to update the spousal PR application to BG completed, COPR details generation and hence PPR mail. So, safe to say that the independent application prompted the system to do the needful, lol.

Rooting for everyone waiting it out for IRCC to do the needful. Cheers!

I think it's best he tweets at IRCC. But I must tell you that those responses are not always exactly as the VO would treat the matter but it should give him a guide on what to do. He should then work assiduously to present an inpeccable documentation to convince the VO on the legitimacy of his move.

In my opinion, I believe he should be able to have the boy/girl as a dependent, since the adopted is now orphaned and unable to fend for himself. I'd think that he might be required to legally adopt. It'll be nice if you keep us updated on this.

ysteph:
As it is she is your sister. Since she is a minor i believe you can apply to be her legal guardian, that way you can add her as dependent.

Let your friend broaden his search. He can inquire directly from CIC through facebook or twitter.

ontarioissauga:

I think he has the right to include her as they are orphans. Having the proper papers with their past dates are cool. He should read up this. I think I have seen it before... Even children of dependent children are legal derivatives.

joo2018:
I don't think "guardian" will fly. If his parents had adopted he, then she is his sister and he will be able to add her as a sibling so he can sponsor her later.
Adopt her again? I don't know how that works.

I was hoping to write my landing gist, and pass a couple of had I known tips but mehn I dont think this should wait..

Hello Everyone,

For anyone who recently upgraded their ECA with WES for APEGA certification, does one need to send secondary school results (WAEC) for this upgrade?

salford1:

I do not know much about the job prospects for Environmental Engineers or Techs; however, I know that Canada is big on making sure that all engineering projects/constructions have very minimal impact to the environment. You might want to check indeed to have a feel of the job market. If you are interested in attending a college, google Polytechnics Canada. Employers would often prefer grads from schools on that list. For uni, preferably the top two in any province would be okay.

einsteino:


Congrats on your COPR. As for colleges, what I hear is that NAIT and SAIT are pretty good.

Jennypharb1:
I know this has been answered before I just don't remember the response. When filling my application I intend to upload just my ECA report, ielts trf and masters cert. Is there any need to upload undergraduate degree certs since they were not evaluated?
