Thanks Naz,

There's an old joke about immigration to Canada where they don't so much say "no," but rather say "not yet."

If you have AIP then aside from the things that are only available to PRs and citizens you've transcended the hardest part of the whole journey. My advice to anyone who gets landed through H&C is to get their citizenship as soon as possible. The distance from any further immigration interactions is worth it.
You are right

Well, what my lawyer told me is that basically you re no entitled to work "legally".... still ...you need proof that you are able to support yourself....tricky
You can still file your taxes with a company you created, a business that tou created.
If you work cash you report that you work to the SIN number you had (it is always link to your file even if it is not active).
Lawyers always tells you what u want to hear, even when they know those things are not possible. They all have one thing in mind, how to get money off you. There is no harm in trying. It is the officer that handle you case that has the final say. The lawyer knows that too. But God can use the officer to favour you.

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
European countries are considered safe and have policies in place that are similar to Canada that is why.
I think there is a confusion of terms here. When we advise @BigTony to request PRRA, the suggestion is simply to *apply* for PRRA, that is - fill the application forms and by doing so automatically defer his deportation, since it will take 6-12 months to get refusal letter. Until then, he cannot be deported. Many of us have used this "loophole" to buy time until our HCs have been decided. I don't think anybody here is reasonably expecting that he will get his PRRA approved at the end and become a protected person in Canada. We heard from limited evidence that PRRA approval rate has never exceeded 5% even in best years.
No country is disqualified from *applying*.

Question

Can you apply for PRRA without a notice from CBSA than you can apply to do so while your deportation is take in place after refusal of application that caused lose of status ?

I read in IRCC website you can only apply for PRRA once CBSA notified you to apply for it. Guys please share some thoughts about it.

Thank u

I think it's every country you have lived for more than 6 months since the age of 18.

Hi, I submitted my H&C application in November and received AOR in January. Now I received a letter two days ago for CBSA interview.

My refugee claim was denied in September 21 and I filed for H & C as we have a child.

My question is what questions will they ask me at this interview and will they deport us? Our application is only 4 months old for H& C so how do we buy time?
