P/GP Program a Huge Failure!
Common sense must prevail regarding Parent and Grandparent processing times. Is immigration Canada telling the truth about P/GP processing times?
This year is (2023) applicants from (2020) were sent out Invitations to Apply (ITA’s). That is three years of waiting or (36) months just to get an ITA!
What have your parents been doing while waiting for 36 months? If they are in Canada, they are not allowed to work.
Is there a logical alternative to getting your parent(s) permanent residency in Canada? Current processing of Parent(s) based on the objectives of the Immigration Act under Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) is only 17 months.
Humanitarian and Compassionate program is a two-stage process. First stage is to find out if your parent has sufficient H&C factors to show your parents’ compassion based on the immigration acts objectives. Families should be kept together and is only common sense that children and grandchildren need not to be separated. It is in the best interest of the child to have their grandparents helping them to grow and develop strongly.
What about a parent that has all her children living in Canada as permanent residents with no family members back home? Should she be sent back home with only limited access to all her children?
Once received your parent(s) stage one H&C approval they will be eligible to obtain a temporary work permit. The second stage is to show your parents would not be a burden on a Canadian taxpayer. We can prove we win H&C applications!
First stage H&C approval is eight and a half months. Second stage approval is also eight and a half months approximately.
· If you sought a P/GP ITA in 2020 what is the real processing time to gain your parent(s) permanent residency?
IRCC claims an alternative to the P/GP program is applying for a Super Visa.
Can you imagine your healthy Dad or Mom sitting on your couch for ten years watching Judge Judy every day for 10 years! Super Visa holders are visitors and not allowed to work.
· What are the real processing times for those that applied for an ITA in 2020?
The immigration minister was informed this year that P/GP applications received in 2023 could take 3 years to process.36 months to get an ITA then another 36 months to process your application equals 72 months.
Can you imagine your healthy Dad or Mom sitting on your couch for ten years watching Judge Judy every day for 10 years! Super Visa holders are visitors and not allowed to work.
What are the real processing times for those that applied for an ITA in 2020?
Do you know that an objective of the immigration act is prompt processing? Do you know that according to the immigration act all family class applications are to support, by means of a consistent standard.
A spouse living outside Canada is 12 months
A spouse living inside Canada is 10 months.
A dependent child living in India is 9 months
These are all Family class applications listed and support by means of a consistent standard. Then there are parental sponsorships and IRCC claim once the P/GP application is received processing is 23 months. ·
Twenty-three months for P/GP can’t be considered a consistent standard based on other Family Class applications. Does not the Charter of Rights and freedoms state all person in Canada are to be treated equally? Do you think 23 months is prompt processing? All one must read is section 3(1) of the immigration act to understand what the objectives of the Act are. All Family Class applications are to be based on the attainment of the immigration goals established by the Government of Canada in consultation with the provinces.
A February 2023 IRCC Memorandum to the Minister states that inventory levels and processing times in the Parent and Grand Parent Program have risen yearly since 2019. The Memorandum further states that no draws in 2023 are needed to hit immigration levels in 2024 and 2025. Any applications received in 2023 will take 2 to 3 years to be processed.
Please tell me why those submitting their parent and Grandparent application by December 22nd, 2023. would not also submit an Humanitarian and Compassionate application at the same time based on common sense of family reunification?
