    Application in Progress - PR Card Requirement and travelling outside canada

    1. No issue 2. If you have plans to travel before the fall 2027 I would probably go ahead with the PR card renewal. 3. Would personally give yourself more than a 2 month buffer to renew a PR card. Would update your application when/if you receive a new PR card.

    Canadian citizen Marrying an asylum pending in USA

    Would ensure you have significant in person time during your relationship over many visits if you aren’t living in the US and hopefully you have a long dating history before you got married. Every case is unique but your scenario means there are a lot of red flags for marriage for immigration...

    Super visa - may 2026

    Not sure what is going on but suddenly the vast majority of supervisas are being processed very quickly. This is pretty concerning given that we are taking about seniors so health concerns and proof they have somewhere to return after their visit is important. There is already a pretty large...

    Can I declare NOC 21301 (Mechanical Engineer) as principal occupation in Arrima if I currently work in NOC 62100? [Volet 1 vs. Volet 3 question]

    If your friend has not been approved there is a good chance he could still be denied for selecting the wrong NOC if he has the same situation as you do. Given the “recent years” part of the requirement it should be NOC62100 although I would consult an immigration lawyer.

    Saskatchewan ID Renewal – Expired PR Card and COPR, Proof of Status Question

    If you have proof that you have been living in Canada and haven’t renewed your PR card that is typically fine. You don’t need a valid PR card to live in Canada. Many never leave Canada so haven’t felt the need to renew their PR card. There also lack of consistency between provincial office...

    Less complex claims

    Would assume is likely that all cases will now have to at least have a short hearing. That the less complex files without hearings are why really lead to the faster processing times. By the time you were added to the less complex files the backlog even for this category had grown significantly...

    Lots of examples of economic immigrants moving as soon as they acquire citizenship as when as some family members. Refugees and protected people have to wait until they acquire citizenship. Canada has policies specifically for family member PRs who accompany their Canadian spouse abroad. They...

    Visitor visa refusal

    You are confirming why IRCC tends to refuse similar applications. There is concern that because he has no family members in India, especially after your grandmother died who appeared to be a form of parental figure, he would be trying to remain somewhere where he has another caregiver...

    Visitor visa refusal

    Not sure that really means medical care but that implies he needs someone who can look after him but he is an adult. This also essentially confirms exactly why there are concerns about similar profiles.

    Less complex claims

    Less complex claims process is on pause at the moment. The process came to light recently during the government immigration committee because it wasn’t widely known outside of those involved with immigration/asylum seekers. Unclear whether it will continue and in what format and whether a...

    PRINCIPAL APPLICANT AND DEPENDANTS PR

    You are the only protected person and the primary applicants which is why there are separate application numbers.

    PRINCIPAL APPLICANT AND DEPENDANTS PR

    The protected person in Canada is always finalized before their dependents. Unless outside the pilot program the majority of processing of dependents outside of Canada happens after the primary applicants in Canada gets PR.

    Canadian PR Entry Concerns: Crossing Canada border with Family from Detroit USA without meeting Residency Obligation

    Equally many people stay for 3 years and apply for citizenship as they are leaving. In other cases many are supported for many years and when they finally are paying more into the system than benefiting from it they leave. The revolving door of immigration does not benefit Canada’s en other...
