GOOGLE MAIL PROBLEM

The past 4 weeks, the Google Mail servers created a lot of problems. Our Information technology expert announced that Google Servers required senders to g-mail accounts to have an “SPF record” on their domain.

See https://support.google.com/a/answer/33786?hl=en. We have added this record to our servers and the problem should be resolved.

If anyone did not receive an e-mail that they are expecting, please contact our office.

IMMIGRATION POLICY UPDATE: Parent Sponsorship

Immigration and Refugee Citizenship Canada have announced that they will revert back to the old system of the Parent Sponsorship program. The old system was first-come-first-serve and the current system is a lottery.

The lottery will be abolished, which means the sponsoring system will become more reliable. It was also announced that the quote of the number of parents will be increased to 20 000 from the current intake of 10 000 applications.

Sincerely,

THE MATRIXVISA TEAM
We are committed to sharing the latest and greatest about Canada with you.
