    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    You were likely part of the pilot program for this timeline and the 1 time policy also helped. Please don’t make people think that prayer had anything to do with IRCC approval times and that their faith hasn’t been able to secure immigration for their dependents in a certain timeframe.

    Options for getting my husband name out of my PR file.

    If you can’t remove him yet change him to unaccompanied.

    Remote work on B1/B2 in USA.

    This is really a US immigration issue not a Canadian one. How long you would be spending in the US likely has a big part in the response.

    I have done a proxy marriage, I dont know its not acceptable. What is next please ?

    You may actually need to get divorced to get remarried and have your in person marriage be recognized. As already mentioned time spent together in person is highly valued by IRCC when it comes to proof of being in a relationship/marriage.

    Will IRCC consider this misrepresentation because my ex-wife and I previously shared an address before we got married? Both applied PR independently

    Think you are underestimating the importance of the timeline of your relationship. When did you first meet your new spouse in person? Did you get married during that initial visit? How much time in person have you spent with this new spouse and over how many visits? IRCC will want to see proof...

    Immigration to Canada with family

    Certainly BIOC helps but it is far from a guarantee of H&C. It usually requires BIOC and something else. Given the volume of applicants and processing times most will be removed or because they no longer have status families will make the choice to leave before their application gets processed...

    Immigration to Canada with family

    People have started viewing H&C as a relatively easy pathway to get PR and one of the reasons why processing time has become decades. At the moment it isn’t a realistic pathway since if you applied today you wouldn’t receive a response for decades and would likely have been removed or left by...

    Super Visa Confusion between Permanent Address and Residential Address

    They should really wait until they return to India before applying because there will likely be concern that they will not return home if applying while in Australia.

    Residency Obligations - Falling short of 730 day RO requirement due to frequent business trips

    If you are living in the US on an H1B assume it will be quite difficult to show you have H&C reasons for not meeting your RO. Just applying for PR card renewal while not meeting your RO would be risky and based on other cases it often takes around a year for a response. Your best option is to...

    Immigration to Canada

    If you want to the easiest pathway to PR these days you and your spouse should start learning French. Even if you get the study permit I would still be learning French to ensure a good chance of securing PR.

    Immigration to Canada

    Wouldn’t say zero chance especially if attending a good public university and there is some proof of possible career advancement. Living in the Middle East certainly will make approval more difficult but still worth a shot.

    Please help me the process and timeliness of Refugee Withdrawl

    Shouldn’t make a difference whether you or a lawyer withdraw your asylum application.

    Young professional application process

    Did she qualify for an SOWP when her spouse applied for his closed work permit? If so that was a missed opportunity. The big issue is that she may not be able to extend her visitor status as Canada tries to decrease the number of temporary residents in Canada. She also isn’t actually visiting...
