The answer to this question is not far fetched. It is however best answered by the son, who is a PR. Since he's a PR and resides here, he should have information, the best information as pertained to his situation.

Yes. But the son will have to fill a form and get it notarized by a Lawyer or Public Notary in Canada. This form will then be sent by the parent to IRCC to obtain an Authorization Letter(AL) to travel otherwise, airlines will not board the parent without the AL

I thought parents do not need the AL to board as long as they can provide a copy their child's PR card and evidence of relationship.

Good day seniors and good people of this thread. Please, if I may ask, does anyone know if the government of Alberta province also supplement (a form of subsidy) the rent of PRs with a family set-up? I have two close family friends in MN who have confirmed they enjoy such and my hubby's friend (a family man too) who is in Ajax, ON has also confirmed that ON govt subsidise his rent as well. We are looking at Edmonton/Calgary actually, and this clarification I seek will help in making up our minds.

Thank you a great deal in anticipation..

I do not know about Edmonton, but there are two types of rent subsidies in Calgary that I know off. I don't know if that has changed as my info is from like 6 years ago.

Both are with Calgary housing. One has a very long waitlist. Like 3 to 5 years or so, but the subsidy on this is greater. Like a 2 bed house apartment for $500 a month, and there is the other one which has a shorter waitlist of maybe a few months to a year. Sometimes there are zero waitlist on this one, but the subsidy is lower. You could get a 2 bed house for like $1000. They call it near market or something like that.

Both have an income criteria to qualify, and you would be required to submit your family's notice of tax assessment for the mandatory yearly lease renewal.

Passport was received today with CoPR and Visa stamped..

Next hurdle is for IRCC to lift or relax the ban on travel restriction cos I don book flight for May already.

seunpinky:
Hi guys,

Please I got a mail from IRCC, checked my profile and saw counterfoil number with August 2021 as expiry date and my profile had updated to approved Feb 23rd. Accra VO

Does this mean that my passport has been stamped? I am confused because I have been reading stories of passport being returned without stamp

You are eligible to get an authorization letter but you need the authorization letter to travel

Hi Guys,
Trust we all doing well.

How do I get my driving records? I just wrote my class 7 knowledge test and was told at the registry in Calgary I will need to provide my driving record before my license can be processed further because the driver licence I have is expired. Can I get the driving records from Nigerian mission in Canada?

I assume you're trying to get an exemption so you can attempt the road test without waiting a year. If so, reach out to cb.okoye@frsc.gov.ng, they should be able to provide your driving record electronically for a fee.
