    Inquiry Regarding CEC Immigration and Employment Verification

    IRCC typically wants to see ties to Quebec severed because once he gets PR he would likely be tempted to go back to QC if required to go into the office twice a week. Where exactly is the job and where will he be moving to? If the job is in Hull/Gatineau/etc. and he is living in greater Ottawa...

    CEC work experience for Canada-based cross-border truck drivers

    Yes IRCC typically counts the whole trip as Canadian work experience but just for cases like long haul truck drivers. You may want to consult an immigration lawyer to verify.

    Does full-time AZ truck driving school affect CEC work experience?

    There are multiple potential issues. You were studying full-time without a study permit after spending time in Canada not right after entering Canada. Yes work while you were studying full-time may be an issue if you are attempting to count time working towards CEC. I would recommend you speak...

    Applying for pr card renewal for my mother online

    She should have her own email address even if you apply as her representative. Assume she is currently in Canada if she is applying.

    Working Holiday (IEC) + Open Work Permit for spouse

    Would add you and your son will have to try to enter as visitors and your entry is not guaranteed especially if it appears as though you are trying to move to Canada. Your wife should really come to Canada and see if she can find a job that would make you eligible for an SOWP and that you have...

    The one-time 2-year initiative regarding 115,000 protected persons

    Whether inside or outside Canada it doesn’t matter when you have a target for the number of PRs/yr. When IRCC exceeds that 380k target that they keep mentioned when they say they have decreased the number of PRs it will certainly matter to many Canadians. Your claim that there will be more than...

    H&C 2025 SHARE - AIP, Letters, PR, Refused or Approved

    Will wait for a response but not most from 2024 have not received AIP approval/refusal. H&C is no longer a functional program and IRCC seems to be hoping that people will leave or get removed while waiting because processing is decades.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2024

    There is a long list of people who have received FD but are waiting for P1 or COPR. Not sure how long this list is but it. could take up to many months.

    Physical Presence & Previous Valid Status Question

    If you weren’t actively studying and not meeting the conditions of your study permit I would be more concerned that you were in Canada without status in 2021/22. IRCC was fairly lax going after people for not meeting the condition of their permits then but that is no longer the case.

    Regd 5 year eligibility period

    Given the current relationship between Canada and the US and the anti-immigrant sentiment from the current US administration Canadian permanent residents should probably revisit their plans/strategy when it comes to when they apply for Canadian citizenship and also have a back-up plan if they...

    Applying for Canadian Citizenship from within Canada and then moving to the US while it is being processed. Points to be aware of

    Has a lot to do with the specifics of your file and some luck. There was an example posted on the forum this week where someone applied in your scenario with minimal buffer time. It appears as though their application was returned after a few months and they didn’t realize they are now going to...

    Outland CEC – 3 Portal 1 emails while outside Canada + valid TRV. Can I enter Canada as visitor and complete Portal?

    Wouldn’t listen or trust the IRCC customer service line. They aren’t supposed to provide advice like an immigration lawyer or consultant although they often do. If anything I would make sure any interaction with IRCC is by email not by phone although the response time is much longer. IRCC has...

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

    I would be prepared for 2-3+ years to get a hearing and be happy if you are scheduled for one earlier. There are significant backlogs in all parts of the asylum system.
