移民局今天發布的消息,2017年父母團聚移民不再以遞交先後審理,改為隨機抽籤。申請人需要先填寫一張在線表格表達團聚意願,移民局會隨機抽取並邀請申請人提交完整材料。
變化要點
- 在線表格從東部時間2017年1月3號中午開放,2017年2月2號中午關閉。
- 開放時間內,申請人可以在IRCC網站填寫在線表格,表達團聚父母或者祖父母的意願。
- 要求的信息包含申請人的姓名,生日,出生國,家庭住址,郵編和郵箱。
- 一旦成功遞交在線表格,申請人會收到確認碼,請記錄下來。
- 僅需填寫這一張表格,重複填寫無效。
- 30天後,移民局會清除重複表格,隨機抽取1萬份表格,邀請他們遞交完整的申請。
- 每個申請人都會被告知2017年是否被邀請。
- 被邀請的申請人將有90天時間來遞交完整的材料。
- 完整的申請表格和材料清單將於2017年1月9號公布。
- 2017年沒有被邀請上的申請人,2018年可以再次提出申請。
麥家廉說:“我們仔細聽取了群眾的意見和建議,正在把父母和祖父母團聚移民的申請流程變得更加公平、公正。我們保證,每個人都將有同等機會提出申請,將有同等機會被選中。”
Changes to 2017 Parent and Grandparent Program application intake process
December 14, 2016—Ottawa, ON – Family reunification is a key immigration commitment of the Government of Canada. The Parent and Grandparent Program brings together thousands of families each year. For 2017, the Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, today announced changes to how sponsorship applications will be submitted under the program.
In recent years, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada limited the number of parent and grandparent applications it would accept, in order to manage intake and interest in the program, and keep the number of applications from growing. Rather than the January rush to submit applications by courier or mail, those wanting to bring their parents or grandparents to Canada will now have 30 days to fill out an online form to indicate their interest. IRCC will then randomly choose 10,000 individuals from those who filled out the form, and those people will be invited to send in their complete application package.
The online form will be available starting January 3, 2017. Sponsors will have 30 days to submit the form.
Quote
“We’re listening to what past applicants had to say and making the process fairer for people who want to sponsor their parents or grandparents. We’re ensuring everyone can access the application process by giving them the same chance to have their name chosen.”
– The Honourable John McCallum, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship
