本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Throughout 2012, our office will be requesting medical examinations for applications submitted to Beijing prior to November 2011. Once medical examinations have been requested, the average processing time is from 6 to 12 months but can be longer if further background or medical checks are required. Sponsors who wish to know whether or not their parents’ or grandparents’ application will be processed in 2012 should refer to the date of our Acknowledgement of Receipt for the Permanent Resident application, and not the date the Sponsorship application was sent to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga (Canada).



Parents and grandparents with sponsorship applications in process may still apply for a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada while their application is in process. Parents and grandparents may apply for the new “Parent and Grandparent Super Visa,” which will be valid for up to 10 years. The multiple-entry visa will allow an applicant to remain in Canada for up to 24 months at a time without the need for renewal of their status. Parent and Grandparent Super Visa applicants will be required to obtain private Canadian health-care insurance for their stay in Canada.



As soon as we are ready to process your application, we will contact you at the mailing address indicated on your application form.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
