Glad we could help🙂
are you planning to apply through this program?
Omg yes! I’m planning and alone! I’m a resident but I don’t have money for lol and brother for a lawyer !!! They’re asking so much money! Looking for any kind of help here on UA-cam and you’re the only one
@@anastasiaburlaka377 I'm glad we could help:) Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. have you already started filling out the application?
Thank you
You’re welcome😊 have you already submitted your application?
Thanks for your information. Do you know if I can upload the completed forms, or do I have to complete each form again on the portal?
Thank you for this video! The online page titled "guide" explains how document copies have to be certified.Would you know, Does this mean each copy of every document page has to be certified when submitting this application?
Hi there. For this application you will need to certify the Statutory Declaration IMM 0191. If you have other documents that are translated from a foreign language, that translated copy needs to certified by a translator or notary.
Thank you for the great tutorial! I just have a question: in the imm5406 in the personal information section do I need to specify the address where I was born or my current address? Thank you!
Hi there. Thank you for watching and glad you found it helpful🙂
You don’t have to provide the address of where you were born - just city and country.
As for you current address, it is filled out in the beginning of your application, in the General Form.
Have you already started your application?
Hi, Thanks a million for helpful video. Could you please advise: in section travel documents and passports - should i attach only international passports or Ukrainian passport as well? If yes, should it be translated with certified translator? thanks!
Hi, thank you so much for the detailed video. Is there any information on processing times for this program? My application was submitted almost four months ago, an invitation for biometrics came pretty quickly, but no updates since.
Hi there. Since this program is new and unique, there are no estimated processing times, which are usually based on historical data.
The only indicator for to track you application’s progress is to check its status on your PR portal. Keep in mind, that if the status is Submitted, it means that the immigration officers haven’t started working on it yet. Once they do, the status will change to In Progress. This will be the first step. And mostly from there it should move faster.
Hope this helps:) Let us know if you have any more questions
Hi! Thanks for all the details! You are amazing! How come
The fees are not removed for Ukrainians in this case like it was promised before! Do you know?
Thank you for watching! We are glad you found it helpful🙂
Regarding the fees, they were only waved for the emergency situation - when the war began and it was critical to get to safety as soon as possible.
In case of PR, it is assumed that the applicant is already in safety (in Canada).
I must mention though, that even though there is a fee for PR application, it is still lower for this program compared to others. It consists of two parts, and first part is the same - right of permanent residency fee is $515. But the application submission fee is different: standard application processing fee is $870 where here you are required to pay $550.
Are you planning to apply?
OH!) Thanks for the video! I am just curious how to count the years of education . For example my father studied in the ukrainian school 10 years and 2 years at the college . How to count elementary , secondary , high school and college .
Hi there. The important thing is to count total number of years correctly. For school, you can do an estimate, like, elementary school is 3 years, middle school another 3 years and high school is 4.
Are you applying for this program?
Thank you for the video it was very educational. I submitted my application a month ago, but I still have not got any confirmation email. Do you normally receive a confirmation email right after submitting the application or they will only send an email when they start processing it? Thank you very much.
Hi there! Congrats on submitting the application - you’ve already done the hardest part;)
Email notifications will be sent out when the status of your application changes or additional information is requested. In the beginning your application is just “submitted”. Once it is being worked once your status will change to something like “In Process”. Usually it does take several weeks between submission and start of processing.
Did you apply through program for Ukrainians?
Thank you for the detailed guide. Just above the Statutory Declaration IMM 0191, see at the top of the screen at 14:59 of this video, it specifically states: "...Do not print and scan any of these forms..." It is kind of misleading, because there is no way around without printing it. I called to a commissioner of oaths, they accept printed forms only. Do you have anything to add on this? I guess it wasn't just me, there might be many other people who stumbled upon this clause.
Hi there. It’s a very good catch, thank you for pointing it out!
The comment does say that there might be exceptions and suggest to refer to program guide to check those exceptions.
Generally, if you’re submitting an online application , majority of forms have to be filled online using fillable adobe documents. The only form that I can assume needs to be printed is Statutory Declaration attesting your relationship with Canadian resident/citizen. The reason being, it needs to be authorized/notarized by an official. I can see it being done through printing, stamping a physical copy and then scanning and uploading it to the portal.
Hope this helps. And let me know if you have any further questions:)
@@natashtepa Thank you, I guess this might imply that this form could also be sent for signing to the commissioner for oaths, public notary, etc. However not all of them are willing to step away from paper. Anyways thank you for answering, I will try with printing-signing-scanning option, because I still think, even though this is not what they want, they can't decline our application for this reason only.
Thank you for your video. May I know if uploading a police certificate is compulsory for the application as it is a lengthy process to obtain one? I noticed that police certificate is not listed among the required documents that are mandatory to be uploaded in order to submit the application (such as passport, proof of status, birth cert etc). Also, in the checklist (IMM0190), under other documents, it says "police certificate, if applicable". Thanks in advance for any info!
That is a good point! The guide does say, “if applicable”. For other PR programs you are required to provide a police certificate from the countries you’ve been permanently living in for at least 6 month in the last 10 years.
So it is safe to say that this program will require it as well
I was wondering if you could tell me how long the processing time takes to get a PR or just getting an answer if it is approved or not?
Hi there. The official application processing time standard is within 6 months. Once you submit your application, you may receive some questions from IRCC to provide additional information or documents. But once your application status has changed to In Process, it means they started working on it.
Have you already applied?
Very helpful thanks!
Can I apply for my cousin (двоюрідна сестра)? She has CUAET work permit.
Thank you for watching!
As per program guide, cousins are not included on the list of eligible family members. Do they or their partner have close family members in Canada, like parents/grandparents or siblings?
@@natashtepa no, only myself - her cousin, and my mom - her aunt.
In IMM0190 which is a document checklist for this program says there is no need for travel form (IMM 5562)
Hi there. You are correct, the guide says it’s not mandatory. Also, on PR portal this document is not marked as mandatory as well. If you don’t want to fill it out, try to submit the application without it and see if the system accepts it. If anything, the immigration officers working on your case can always come back and ask for additional documents once they start reviewing your application.
Have you already submitted your application? Let us know if you’re able to submit the application without this form. And feel free to message if you have more questions
For pdf forms portal explicitly mentions "you must download, complete and digitally sign and upload", that includes stationary declaration are you sure that it has to be printed?
Hi there. The Statutory Declaration needs to be signed by Canadian official. In this case, you need to print it and bring it to them for stamping. For everything else, you are correct - you can fill them out and sign them digitally.
Have you already started your application? Do you have any other questions related to this program?
@@natashtepa thank you for your quick reply. Yes I am working on an application for my dad. Your guide was very helpful so far). One other question that came up is about my mom's work experience. She used to work as governments official back in Ukraine, does this mean we need to fill in form IMM0149 (Details of government employment)?
Thanks for this awesome Video! I have a question about form IMM5562, Section A; Travel. Should an applicant specify the date he left Ukraine to come to Canada? should that also be considered as a trip outide the country of residence? If so, we would include the From Date, and leave To date blank? & for the lenght just state the count of days/month up to date?
Hi there, thank you for watching!
With the travel history you need to specify all your travels in the last 10 years. And then also mention where you’ve been after you left Ukraine and before arriving to Canada. Let’s say, if you left Ukraine on March 1st and arrived to Canada on April 1st, you’ll need to mention all the countries you’ve been in between.
Let me know if this answers your question;)
If he left Ukraine, to Come to Canada on September 1st and got to Canada on September 1st;, would I need to include that as well? @@natashtepa
@@jkuser2024 in this case it’s not considered Travel - it would technically be moving from one place of residence to the new place of residence.
Thank you!@@natashtepa
@@jkuser2024 you’re welcome😊 good luck in the application! Let us know how it goes;)
Hi Nata & Shtepa, I submitted my application a month ago and the status hasn't changed from that time. Is there any source of contacting IRCC, just to know about the application and the average length of processing it? Is there any email I can reach them out or it's better just to wait for their response first? I just don't know what to do.
Hi there. I understand your concern, it is very frustrating to not have a clear answer.. I would encourage you to keep waiting and check your status. If it is Submitted, it means that your application hasn’t been opened yet. One it changes to In Process this will mean that the officer started working on it and things should get moving soon.
It does take several month for some applications to get going. There’s not much you can get from the IRCC - the will give you the same information as you see on your portal.
At this time it’s going to be a waiting game - stay patient and check your portal from time tot time.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for your answer!☺@@natashtepa
@@sophialutsyshyn6101 you're welcome! Good luck with your journey
Hi, I think the suggestion to add "N/A" for the spouse in IMM5406 is incorrect. IMM5406 must be filled out for all the relatives irregardless of whether you apply with them or without. If you want to sponsor those people eventually, you should provide that info. If you don't apply with your spouse, you should not add them as a dependent. Same for children
Hi there. You are correct. But for people who don’t have spouse or kids, N/A would be the correct answer to put in this field.
Are you also applying for PR through this program?
Hello. Thank you for a very useful video!!! I have a question to you.
I am a Canadian citizen, can I applly for all my family in one application, including my sister, her husband, her daughter(my niece), my mom and my dad???? So, my sister will be as a main applicant and the others are dependants, or my dad and my mom should have a separate application???
Please, advise.
Thank you very much in advance!!!
Hi there. Great question!
The application allows you to add several dependents to the main applicant profile. When adding a dependent, they’ll be asked to specify the relationship to the main applicant. The list of dependents includes children, partners, parents, grandparents etc.
Your sister may be the main applicant and include her family members as dependents (spouse and child). However, it appears that parents need to submit their own application as they are not legally dependent on your sister.
I hope this helps, but please feel free to consult the immigration professionals for more detailed clarification. Good luck to your family!
Yes, that is what I am leaning towards...
Thank you very much for the information and for your support!
@@user-kd7dg5xg6d you are welcome😊 and good luck to you and your family!
My husband non Ukrainian but I ,my question is can we apply for PR as he have a family member and this family member a Canadian citizen,thank u in advance
Hi there. Based on current eligibility criteria, you cannot apply through this program. The applicant needs to be Ukrainian national and qualifying Canadian family members are considered children, parents, siblings, grandparents, spouse. Unfortunately, there are no in-laws which is the case for you.
However, I would still suggest you to check with immigration lawyers on this matter as your case may fall in one of the non-standard cases of this program.
Let us know how it goes and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
I'm in the same position, and I reached out to a lawyer who advised me to proceed with the application, suggesting there might be an exception. Did you follow through with applying?
Can you please answer the question? if person who apply for permanent residence status , was in Canada and right now outside, but still have a valid work permit, does he need to come in Canada? and we can apply without his present in Canada?
It’s a fine line. You have to be in Canada at the time of application for PR and at the time of your approval for PR. The “in between” period technically allows for travel outside of Canada (if you have proper document that allow you to enter Canada), but generally it is recommended to stay in Canada while you wait for your application to be approved.
@@natashtepaThank you very much, that's good, but actually I don't see any rule that person need to be present in Canada right now, there questions like where do you live right now, and other , and also where do you plan to live in Canada, How do you think ? or I missed something? I will be thankful for the answer ))
@@comanchmax this is just a recommendation. Legally you are allowed to leave Canada and come back as long as you have valid documents to do so (entry visa, valid passport etc)
Hello, I have a question! My mom, who is Ukrainian, applied for CUAET, received her visa, and is now living in Canada. Can she apply for Canadian PR and bring me to Canada? I have a Jordanian passport as I am not a Ukrainian citizen.
Hi there. Does your mom have relatives who are Canadian residents?
@@natashtepa unfortunately no, all of her relatives are ukrainian in canada.
نعم يحق لها أن تجلبك الى كندا بغض النظر عن جنسيتك مادام هنالك إثبات إنها أمك ( وعن تجربة ) بغض النظر اذا لديها الاقامة الدائمة ام لا
@@ahje6139 you might be talking about a different program, family sponsorship. In that case if someone has citizenship in Canada, they can bring their relatives in and sponsor them. But we are here talking about specific program for Ukrainians with Canadian relatives - this program has other qualifying terms.
Hello! Thank you for the explanation.
Can you tell me about the travel form 5562?
which city should be indicated, the first city of arrival or the city of destination? my husband worked in many cities in Poland, but crossed the border between Poland and Ukraine in one place by car.
Hi there. You don’t need to specify each city you visited - just mention one main one that you stayed in the most. All others can be considered transit and are not required. Let me know if this helps or if you have any more questions:)
@@natashtepa thank you for your reply! Can I ask one more question? We took a photo a month ago according to the requirements for pr in Kazakhstan, will the officer be confused by the fact that the address and name of the studio are written in Kazakh on the stamp? Or is it better to take another photo here in Canada?
@@NarArup as per official guide, there are no specific requirements in regards to the language of the note. As long as your name and date of birth are mentioned, as well as the date the photo was taken, you should be fine. Was the photographer's info hand written or stamped? And does it include the required information?
По этой программе могут идти только те у кого в Канаде живут родственники с гражданством.
Not just citizenship - relatives who have permanent residence are eligible too.
Are you applying through this program?
@@natashtepa у нас нет родственников с перманентом, мы не можем податься
@@T_O_M_A_T in that case we suggest you look into other pathways for immigration, like Express Entry. You can check out our earlier video with this program’s overview called How to Move to Canada: ua-cam.com/video/Nymm9P44dbI/v-deo.htmlsi=8wyj0Wtk4G7Ro7BJ
@@natashtepa об этой программе знают все, но не все могут расчитывать на перманент даже если будет соблюдать все условия доя его получения. Это лотерея простыми словами. 🙁
Hey, thank you for the video, but I have a question, can I apply it if don't have a family or anyone in Canada?
Hi there. You can apply, but through a different program. This particular program is limited for those with family Canadian members.
Check out our earlier video where we cover Express Entry and other immigration programs: ua-cam.com/video/Nymm9P44dbI/v-deo.htmlsi=8T8kN_sRuPIsZ42C
