In consecutive weeks during this holiday season the Minister has announced important changes to how sponsorship applications for spouses and parents and grandparents will be made in the new year. These changes will affect many families, since the Minister has already announced earlier in October this year that his department expects to admit 84,000 new family members to Canada as permanent residents in 2017. ]]> https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/canadas-immigration-year-ahead/ Tue, 12 Jan 2016 05:15:49 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1494 The beginning of a new year is often a time to contemplate what to expect in the coming months.  ]]> https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/can-i-bring-the-family-an-overview-of-canadas-approach-to-family-members-in-the-permanent-and-temporary-immigration-streams/ Tue, 24 Nov 2015 16:40:33 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1465 An overview of Canada’s approach to family members in the permanent and temporary immigration streams.]]> //testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/event/ Sun, 08 Nov 2015 00:51:33 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1425 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/whats-the-best-way-for-me-to-sponsor-my-spouse-already-in-canada/ Thu, 29 Oct 2015 19:13:16 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1308 The question of how to sponsor your spouse who is already in Canada seems like a rather simple one. Indeed if you put that question to a CIC call centre representative, their answer is almost always as follows: "If your spouse is in Canada you use the Inland Spousal sponsorship category but if your spouse is outside of Canada, you use the Family Class category". As in most things to do with our Canadian immigration system, the answers to such questions are never that straightforward. Let's review the differences between the Family Class and the In-land Spousal categories. ]]> https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/what-ever-happened-to-speedier-processing-times-for-parents-and-grandparents/ Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:54:33 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=1283 Canada's Family Class immigration program has historically allowed for Canadians to be able to sponsor their parents and grandparents. However, in November of 2011, Canada's immigration program for parents and grandparents was suspended to allow for a backlog of nearly 165,000 applications to be finalized. The Minister of Immigration introduced the "Action Plan for Faster Family Reunification" increasing processing levels from approximately 15,000 parent and grandparent applications per year to 25,000 applicants for each of 2011, 2012 and 2013. ]]> //testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/sponsor-my-family-to-canada/#new_tab Sat, 03 Jan 2015 05:08:22 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=839 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/introducing-canadas-new-and-improved-caregiver-program/ Fri, 12 Dec 2014 02:48:01 +0000 https://testing.canadian-visa-lawyer.com/?p=812 This past weekend Canada’s Minister of Immigration Chris Alexander formally changed what was previously known as the Live-In Caregiver Program to the new Caregiver Program. Speculation had been circulating for years that the program might be drastically changed including eliminating the Permanent Resident component. Fortunately the residency component has been maintained and the program has been modified to eliminate the need for caregivers to reside with their employers and to allow for speedier processing of permanent resident applications. ]]>
