    Can People Be Rejected After PPR

    I posted a screenshot of the email below. It is clearly a passport request for visa stamping. The email is written carelessly. They say they want "copies" of the documents.

    The Nasty PR Application Process

    Of course I provided a US PCC (about 1 month after AOR). It would have been a straight rejection if I didn't. This is not the reason for the delay.

    The Nasty PR Application Process

    Someone searching for "immigration to Canada" on Google will probably land on IRCC's website first. When you read the information on their website, you get a FALSE impression that the application process is quick and straightforward. It is "Express" entry, right? You will think that it takes...

    The man is going through hard time like many of us. We are often unable to make decisions because we do not know if we will be in a different country next month. Imagine him trying to make a decision about buying a house for example when he is not sure that his application will be accepted. I...
